Multi-compartment garment

Abstract

The present invention is a garment, such as a shirt, that includes a bi-sectional breast pocket including a standard seam traversing a traditional “home plate” shaped pentagon, and an adjacent parallel seam forming a column having open top and bottom ends. The column establishes a holder for glasses wherein a temple of the glasses can be inserted into the column through the open bottom end so that the glasses can hang comfortably and securely outside the column. The garment may also include a second, hidden shoulder pocket that can be used to hold a small object, such as a key, pack of gum, or the like. The garment in some cases may also include a third hidden pocket along the seam of the shirt below the ribs of the wearer, where slightly smaller objects can be kept such as a wallet, money clip, hotel card key, or the like.

Problems solved by technology

This, of course, is easier said than done when it comes to trends and styles, and coming up with novel features of a garment that are both useful and attractive is a perpetual challenge.

One issue that has arisen is the question of where one keeps one's glasses or sunglasses when not in use.

Some people hang them inside their collar or on the back of their collar, but both of these solutions are unsatisfactory.

Another issue is that while some shirts include a breast pocket, a user may not want to keep anything of any size or volume in the pocket as it often protrudes in an undesirable manner and detracts from the appearance and shape of the shirt.

For example, a key or a pack of mints would create an unsightly protrusion that many users would seek to avoid.

However, most shirts offer no other convenient location for such an item that does not create a protrusion in the shirt without destroying the natural shape and form of the garment.

This situation is even made more problematic if the item to be stored is slightly larger, such as an ID, credit card, cash, or the like.
