In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] This embodiment provides a garment with storage function, such as... Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a garment with storage function, specifically a trench coat for spring and autumn.

[0023] The garment consists of a main body 1 and a hem 2 at its bottom. The hem 2 is a natural part of the garment pattern, and its interior is formed by sewing the fabric together to create a circular, hollow storage space.

[0024] An invisible zipper 3 is located on the inside of the hem 2. The teeth of the invisible zipper 3 are preferably small with a width of 0.8-1.2mm to ensure its concealment effect.

[0025] The length of the concealed zipper 3 is equal to the opening length of the storage bag 4 to ensure that the bag opening can be completely closed. Stoppers are provided at both ends of the concealed zipper to prevent the zipper head from slipping off.

[0026] The invisible zipper 3 of this application has one side of its fabric strip firmly sewn to the inner side of the hem 2 with sewing thread. The color of the sewing thread is similar to the color of the fabric, which further ensures its concealment.

[0027] The storage bag 4 is connected to the hem 2 via an invisible zipper 3. In this embodiment, the main fabric of the storage bag 4 is preferably a lightweight, wear-resistant, and easily shaped material, such as polyester yarn or polyester fabric. To give it waterproof properties, the outer surface of the fabric is treated with a polyurethane waterproof coating, which can effectively block rainwater splashes.

[0028] The main body of the storage bag 4 has undergone a pleating process, forming a uniform and dense pleated structure. In this embodiment, the spacing between the pleats in the pleated structure is 1-2cm, and the pleat height is 3-5cm. Preferably, the spacing between the pleats is 1.5cm and the pleat height is 4cm, which can provide sufficient storage volume and minimize the storage size, while ensuring the smoothness of unfolding and folding clothing.

[0029] The outer contour of the storage bag 4 is designed to match the inner contour of the hem 2. When the storage bag 4 is folded and stuffed into the hem 2, it can fit smoothly against the inside of the hem without producing local bulges or wrinkles, thus ensuring the aesthetic shape and comfort of the garment when worn normally.

[0030] A carrying handle 5 is also fixedly connected to the opening of the storage bag 4. In this embodiment, the carrying handle 5 is 1.5-2cm wide and 30-60cm long. It is preferably made of nylon webbing with a width of 1.8cm and a length of 40cm to ensure comfort and sturdiness when carrying it, while also making it easy to fold and hide.

[0031] The two ends of the handle 5 are secured to the two sides of the opening of the storage bag 4 with reinforced stitching. When the storage bag 4 is stored, the handle 5 can be folded and hidden inside the hem 2.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, when the garment provided in this embodiment is worn normally, the invisible zipper 3 is in a closed state, and the storage bag 4 is compressed and folded and completely hidden in the internal cavity of the hem 2, so it looks no different from regular clothing from the outside.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] This embodiment provides a method for preparing the garment described in Embodiment 1, which specifically includes the following steps: First, prepare the main body of the garment and its hem: Cut and sew the main body 1 of the garment according to the conventional garment production process. When making the hem 2, pay special attention to the size of its internal storage space to ensure that it can accommodate the folded storage bag 4.

[0035] Preparation of a pleated storage bag: Polyester yarn or polyester fabric is provided as the main material. A waterproof coating or film treatment is applied to the outer surface of the main material to give it waterproof properties. The treated fabric is fed into a pleating machine and pleated at a high temperature of 150-180°C and a pressure of 5-8 MPa to form a pleated structure with pleat spacing of 1-2 cm and pleat height of 3-5 cm. Then, according to the design drawings, the pleated fabric is cut and sewn into a bag shape, forming a semi-finished product, storage bag 4. Handles 5 are sewn onto the designated position at the opening of storage bag 4.

[0036] Integrated invisible zipper: One side of the invisible zipper 3 is sewn onto the inner side fabric of the hem 2 using an invisible stitching method; the other side of the invisible zipper 3 is also sewn onto the edge of the opening of the storage bag 4 using an invisible stitching method, ensuring that the invisible zipper is sewn straight and opens and closes smoothly.

[0037] Assembly and Inspection: Fold the storage bag 4 along its pleated structure to compress its volume. Insert the folded storage bag 4 into the storage space of the hem 2.

[0038] Close the concealed zipper 3 to check if the storage bag is completely hidden and if the garment's appearance is smooth. Then, test the concealed zipper's opening and closing mechanism and the ability to remove and place the storage bag.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] This embodiment describes a method for storing and carrying the garment prepared in Embodiment 2. The process is as follows: Opening and Removing: The user uses both hands to locate and pinch the pull tab of the concealed zipper 3 hidden inside the hem 2, and slides it downwards to fully open the concealed zipper 3. Due to the elasticity and stretchability provided by the pleated structure of the storage bag 4 itself, after opening the concealed zipper, the user only needs to hold the hem 2 and shake it slightly, or simply use their hand, to easily and smoothly shake or remove the folded storage bag 4 from the hem's storage space.

[0041] Unfolding and Placement: Gently shake the removed storage bag 4 along the direction of its pleats to quickly restore it from a compressed state to a fully unfolded state. Then, fold the removed garment body 1 as usual, such as in half or thirds, to form a package smaller than the unfolded storage bag 4.

[0042] Packing and sealing: Place the folded garment body 1 into the fully unfolded storage bag 4. Then, fold the opening of the storage bag 4 inward, or use the lifting action of the handles 5 to naturally close the bag opening, thus completely wrapping the entire garment inside.

[0043] Carrying: Users can easily carry the stored clothing by holding the handle 5 fixed to the bag opening, just like carrying a handbag. Since the storage bag 4 is waterproof, it effectively protects the internal clothing from moisture and stains, even in rainy or humid environments.

[0044] Reset: When you need to wear the garment again, open the storage bag 4 and take out the garment. Then, quickly fold the empty storage bag 4 back to its compressed state along its pleats, stuff it back into the storage space of the hem 2, and close the invisible zipper 3 to restore the garment to its normal wearing state.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
