Benefits of technology
The present invention is a garment with an integrated holder that can be easily and securely worn, stored, or transported. The garment has one or more foldable or stuffable portions that can hold items and be accessed through a drawstring. The garment can be worn like a backpack by exposing the drawstring and attaching an arm to it. The holder provides extra room for storing items. The technical effects of the invention include easy and secure wear and transport of garments, and an improved carrying capacity.
Problems solved by technology
Managing an extra layer of clothing can be an inconvenience.
Carrying a sweatshirt throughout the day is problematic.
One issue is the effort required: one or two hands are required to carry it, which can impede a user's ability to accomplish tasks.
Or, leaving the sweatshirt somewhere while a user goes about her business can lead to the sweatshirt being lost, damaged, or stolen.
Even if the person were to tie the sweatshirt around her neck or waist, the sweatshirt can still fall off or can impede the user's movement and / or become a safety hazard.
Unfortunately, this disclosure has a number of drawbacks such as its zipper enclosure element, which can jam or injure fingers.
This disclosure fails to provide for a hidden pouch or a hands-free carrying design.
And, though this disclosure does provide for a string element to tighten the pouch, this disclosure still suffers from a lack of a hidden pouch and a hands-free carrying design.
Although this disclosure provides for a string element as its enclosure method, and although this disclosure can be worn as a backpack, this disclosure also suffers from a lack of a hidden pouch.
And, although this disclosure does provide for a backpack or other hands-free carrying option, this disclosure still fails to provide for a hidden pouch or integrated holding means.
Additionally, this disclosure requires extensive use of straps, buckles, and zippers in a cumbersome conversion process.

A garment with integrated holder and method of use is characterized by a garment that provides for one or more straps, pouches, or integrated elements that enable a user to carry the garment, as well as one or more methods of folding, gathering, rolling, stowing, donning, or packing the garment. In some embodiments, one or more straps and fastening means may be used in releasable attachment with one or more drawstrings, creating loops that can be used as carrying elements. In other embodiments, the present invention may be rolled into an integrated carrying pouch that provides for one or more drawstrings that, when tightened, create loops that can be used as carrying elements. The present invention allows a user to store and carry a garment when the garment is not in use.

This could be because the ambient temperature has changed, or because the person feels warmer or colder based on an activity. In such circumstances, if the person felt cold they might want to put on a layer of clothing, or if they felt warm they might want to take off a layer of clothing.[0004]Managing an extra layer of clothing can be an inconvenience. For example, if a person anticipates being cold, they may have to carry around a sweatshirt until they need it, or if they feel warm throughout the day they may take the sweatshirt off and then have to carry it.[0005]Carrying a sweatshirt throughout the day...
