[0013] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 5 show one embodiment of the present invention, and the fabric product of this embodiment is a cold weather jacket 10, which is made up of a front body 12 that covers the front part of the upper body, a back body 14 that covers the back part of the upper body, and a pair of sleeves 16 that cover the arms. The front body 12 is divided into a left front body 12a and a right front body 12b at the center front of the wearer's body, and the center front is opened and closed by a zipper 18. A collar 20 is sewn to the neckline of the front body 12 and the back body 14.

[0014] The front side of the front body 12 and the back body 14 is made of a front fabric 22 having water repellency and windproof properties, and the back side is made of a back fabric 24 having cold protection properties, and the front fabric 22 and the back fabric 24 are sewn together. The jacket 10 has a reversible structure that allows it to be worn with either the front fabric 22 side or the back fabric 24 side. The back fabric 24 is, for example, a fleece that is brushed by folding synthetic fibers into a light fabric. An internal space 26 is provided between the front fabric 22 and the back fabric 24. The hem 28 of the front body 12 and the back body 14 is an area whose length can be adjusted so that it fits closely to the waist of the wearer, and has a long elastic cord 30 for tightening the hem 28, and a path 32 for inserting the elastic cord 30 is provided along the hem 28. The path 32 communicates with the left front body 12a, the back body 14, and the right front body 12b, and has one elastic cord 30 inserted therethrough.

[0015] Fig. 1 is a front view showing the outer fabric 22 side of the jacket 10, and Fig. 2 is a front view showing the inner fabric 24 side of the jacket 10. Fig. 2 shows Fig. 1 turned inside out, so the left front body 12a and the right front body 12b of Fig. 1 are reversed. A path through hole 40 is provided near the front center of the path 32, which allows the middle part of the elastic cord 30 to be made into a loop and pulled out from the path 32 to the internal space 26. The path through hole 40 may be two holes located close to each other to pull out the loop of the elastic cord 30.

[0016] The front fabric 22 of the front body 12 is provided with a front pocket opening 34 that penetrates the thickness of the front fabric 22 to form a pocket, and the front pocket openings 34 are provided on the left front body 12a and the right front body 12b, and are each formed in a straight line along the vertical direction of the wearer near the hem 28, with the upper end inclined slightly closer to the front center than the lower end. The front pocket openings 34 are attached with a zipper 18 so that they can be opened and closed, and a welting cloth 36 that covers the zipper 18 from the outside is attached.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 3(b), the inner space 26 is provided with a front pocket bag 38 that is continuous with the front pocket opening 34. The front pocket bag 38 is, for example, substantially rectangular, and is provided at a position facing the wearer's abdomen. Two pieces of pocket fabric are overlapped with each other, and the upper and lower ends are sewn together or looped together to close the front center. The front center is sewn together with the front center of the front body to close the front center, and the end opposite the front center is open and continues to the front pocket opening 34, forming an opening for putting small items in and taking them out of the front pocket bag 38. The lower end of the front pocket bag 38 is not connected to the path 32 of the hem 28 and is separated from it. A pocket end locking piece 42 is provided at the lower end near the front pocket opening 34 and is sewn near the path 32 of the hem 28 to prevent the front pocket bag 38 from rolling up or moving significantly.

[0018] Of the two pocket cloths of the front pocket bag 38, the pocket cloth 38a located opposite the front fabric 22 is provided with a pair of front pocket insertion openings 44 penetrating the thickness of the pocket cloth 38a. The front pocket insertion openings 44 are provided in a position near the front center and close to the path 32, and the pair of front pocket insertion openings 44 are provided vertically side by side.

[0019] The lining fabric 24 of the front body 12 is provided with a back pocket opening 46 that penetrates the thickness of the lining fabric 24 to form a pocket at a position opposite the front pocket opening 28, and the back pocket opening 46 is provided on each of the left front body 12a and the right front body 12b, and is formed in a straight line along the vertical direction of the wearer at a position close to the hem 28, with the upper end slightly closer to the front center and inclined than the lower end. The back pocket opening 46 has approximately the same length as the front pocket opening 34, is provided at a position almost opposite the front pocket opening 34, and is inclined at approximately the same angle. A fastener 18 is attached to the back pocket opening 46 so that it can be opened and closed.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 3(b), the inner space 26 is provided with a back pocket bag 48 that is continuous with the back pocket opening 46. The back pocket bag 48 is provided between the front pocket bag 38 and the back fabric 24, has a substantially rectangular shape similar to the front pocket bag 38, is provided at a position facing the wearer's abdomen, and is made by overlapping two pocket fabrics with the upper and lower ends sewn together or looped together to close the two pocket fabrics. The front center is sewn together with the front center of the front body to close the two pocket fabrics. The end opposite the front center is open and continues to the back pocket opening 46, forming an opening for inserting and removing small items into and from the back pocket bag 48. The lower end of the back pocket bag 48 is not connected to the path 32 of the hem 28 and is separated from the path 32.

[0021] Of the two pocket cloths of the back pocket bag 48, the pocket cloth 48a located opposite the back fabric 24 is provided with a pair of back pocket insertion openings 50 penetrating the thickness of the pocket cloth 48a. The pocket cloth 48a of the back pocket bag 48 faces the pocket cloth 38a of the front pocket bag 38. The back pocket insertion openings 50 are provided in a position near the front center and close to the path 32, and a pair of back pocket insertion openings 50 are provided vertically side by side opposite the front pocket insertion openings 44. In Figs. 1, 2, and 3(a), the front pocket insertion openings 44 and the back pocket insertion openings 50 are shown shifted horizontally for easy viewing. In reality, as shown in Fig. 3(b), the front pocket insertion openings 44 and the back pocket insertion openings 50 are almost opposite each other.

[0022] The front pocket pocket 38 and the back pocket pocket 48 are sewn together with a short pocket fixing stitch 52 above the front pocket insertion opening 44 and the back pocket insertion opening 50 to prevent them from moving relative to each other. Note that the sleeves 16 and the collar 20 of the jacket 10 may also be made of the front fabric 22 and the back fabric 24, just like the front body 12 and the back body 14.

[0023] Next, the elastic cord 30 will be described. The elastic cord 30 is provided longer than the longitudinal direction of the path 32, and is inserted into the path 32, with both ends 30a of the elastic cord 30 sewn and fixed near the front center of the left front body 12a and the right front body 12b. The portions of the elastic cord 30 located near a pair of left and right path through holes 40 located in the left front body 12a and the right front body 12b are inserted into the path through holes 40 and drawn out into the internal space 26. The elastic cord 30 drawn out from the path through holes 40 becomes a loop portion 30b as shown in FIG. 3(b), and the length of the elastic cord 30 in the path 32 can be adjusted by changing the size of the loop portion 30b.

[0024] The internal space 26 is provided with a stopper 54 that ties the rubber cord 30 drawn from the through hole 40 into the internal space 26 near the through hole 40 to form a ring portion 30b. The stopper 54 passes through any two points of the rubber cord 30 and holds the two points to form the ring portion 30b. It is possible to switch between locking and unlocking the rubber cord 30, and the length of the rubber cord 30 can be adjusted by changing the size of the ring portion 30b. Switching between locking and unlocking is performed with a simple operation, for example, when a part of the stopper 54 is pressed, it is unlocked, and when the pressing is stopped, it is locked. The stopper 54 is fixed near the through hole 40 in the internal space 26.

[0025] The loop portion 30b of the elastic cord 30 formed by the stopper 54 allows the elastic cord 30 to be inserted through the pair of front pocket insertion openings 44 and the pair of back pocket insertion openings 50. The portion of the elastic cord 30 between the pair of front pocket insertion openings 44 is located inside the front pocket bag 38, and this portion is pulled inside the front pocket bag 38 to shorten the elastic cord 30 located inside the path 32, and a pull tab 56 is provided on this portion to hold the elastic cord 30 when pulling it. The portion of the elastic cord 30 between the pair of back pocket insertion openings 50 is located inside the back pocket bag 48, and this portion is also pulled inside the back pocket bag 48 to shorten the elastic cord 30 located inside the path 32, and a pull tab 58 is provided on this portion to hold the elastic cord 30 when pulling it.

[0026] Next, a method of using the jacket 10 will be described. As shown in Fig. 1, for example, when the jacket 10 is worn with the front fabric 22 facing outward, the fastener 18 of the front pocket opening 34 is opened, and small items are placed in the front pocket pouch 38 through the front pocket opening 34 and carried. When the hem 28 is to be fitted closely to the wearer's waist, the pull tab 56 is pulled to enlarge the loop portion 30b and tighten the hem 28. Conversely, when loosening the hem 28, the stopper 54 is first operated over the front fabric 22 to release it from the elastic cord 30. Then, the hand is inserted into the front pocket pouch 38 through the front pocket opening 34, and the pull tab 56 attached to the elastic cord 30 between the pair of front pocket insertion openings 44 located inside the front pocket pouch 38 is pulled, which makes the loop portion 30b smaller and allows the hem 28 to be loosened.

[0027] One end 30a of the elastic cord 30 between the pair of front pocket insertion openings 44 passes through the front pocket insertion opening 44, the stopper 54, and the through hole 40 for the path, and is fixed to the front center of the path 32. The other end passes through the front pocket insertion opening 44, the pair of back pocket insertion openings 50, the stopper 54, and the through hole 40 for the path, and is connected to the back body 14 of the path 32. In other words, by pulling the elastic cord 30 located inside the front pocket bag 38 to enlarge the loop portion 30b, the part of the elastic cord 30 inserted into the path 32 is shortened, and the amount of squeezing of the hem 28 is increased as shown in FIG. 4(a), and the hem is fitted closely to the wearer's waist. After this, when the desired length is reached, the stopper 54 is operated over the front fabric 22 to engage with the elastic cord 30, and the amount of squeezing is maintained. Even if the loop portion 30b of the elastic cord 30 becomes large, it is stored inside the front pocket 38, so it does not get in the way and there is no risk of it getting caught on other things.

[0028] One end 30a of the elastic cord 30 may pass through the front pocket insertion opening 44, the pair of back pocket insertion openings 50, the stopper 54, and the path through hole 40 to be fixed to the front center of the path 32, and the other end may pass through the front pocket insertion opening 44, the stopper 54, and the path through hole 40 to be connected to the back body 14 of the path 32. Furthermore, the end of the elastic cord 30 may be structured not to be fixed.

[0029] When loosening the hem 28 from the wearer's waist, the stopper 54 is operated over the outer fabric 22 to release it from the elastic cord 30, and the elastic cord 30 inserted through the path 32 of the hem 28 is pulled over the outer fabric 22 or the inner fabric 24 to lengthen it, and the loop portion 30b pulled out from the path through hole 40 is reduced. The amount of tightening of the hem 28 is reduced, and when it is at the desired length, the stopper 54 is operated over the outer fabric 22 to engage it with the elastic cord 30.

[0030] Next, as shown in Fig. 2, when the jacket 10 is worn with the lining 24 facing outward, the zipper 18 at the lining pocket opening 46 is opened and small items are placed in the lining pocket bag 48 for carrying. When the hem 28 is tightened to fit closely to the wearer's waist, the stopper 54 is first operated over the lining 24 to release it from the elastic cord 30. Then, the hands are inserted into the lining pocket bag 48 through the lining pocket opening 46, and the elastic cord 30 between the pair of lining pocket insertion openings 50 located on the inside of the lining pocket bag 48 is operated to enlarge the loop portion 30b.

[0031] One end 30a of the elastic cord 30 between the pair of rear pocket insertion openings 50 passes through the rear pocket insertion openings 50, the stopper 54, and the through hole 40 for the path, and is fixed to the front center of the path 32. The other end passes through the rear pocket insertion opening 50, the pair of front pocket insertion openings 44, the stopper 54, and the through hole 40 for the path, and is connected to the back body 14 of the path 32. In other words, by pulling the elastic cord 30 located inside the rear pocket bag 48 to enlarge the loop portion 30b, the portion of the elastic cord 30 inserted into the path 32 is shortened, and the amount of squeezing of the hem 28 is increased as shown in FIG. 4(b), and the hem is fitted closely to the wearer's waist. After this, when the desired length is reached, the stopper 54 is operated over the lining 24 to engage with the elastic cord 30, and the amount of squeezing is maintained. Even if the loop portion 30b of the elastic cord 30 becomes large, it is stored inside the back pocket 48, so it does not get in the way and there is no risk of it getting caught on other things.

[0032] In addition, one end 30a of the elastic cord 30 may pass through the back pocket insertion opening 50, a pair of front pocket insertion openings 44, a stopper 54, and a path through hole 40 and be fixed to the front center of the path 32, and the other end may pass through the back pocket insertion opening 50, the stopper 54, and the path through hole 40 to be connected to the back body 14 of the path 32.

[0033] The hem 28 can be loosened from the waist in the same manner as when the outer fabric 22 is worn on the outside. In this manner, the length of the hem 28 of the jacket 10 is adjusted inside the outer pocket pocket 38 when the outer fabric 22 is worn on the outside, and inside the inner pocket pocket 48 when the inner fabric 24 is worn on the outside.

[0034] The jacket 10 of this embodiment is convenient because it has a reversible structure formed by sewing together the front fabric 22 and the back fabric 24, and can be worn on either the front fabric 22 side or the back fabric 24 side. The length of the elastic cord 30 for tightening the hem 28 can be easily adjusted whether it is worn on the front fabric 22 side or the back fabric 24 side. A single elastic cord 30 is made into a ring part 30b by a stopper 54, and the amount of tightening of the hem 28 can be adjusted by changing the size of the ring part 30b, so the structure is simple and not bulky. The ring part 30b of the elastic cord 30 is located in the internal space 26 between the front fabric 22 and the back fabric 24, and a part of the ring part 30b is located inside the front pocket bag 38 on the front fabric 22 side and inside the back pocket bag 48 on the back fabric 24 side. The ring part 30b can be operated from both the front pocket bag 38 and the back pocket bag 48, and there is no risk of it getting caught on other things outside, making it safe. The loop portion 30b of the elastic cord 30 to be operated has pull tabs 56, 58 attached to the portions located inside the front pocket pocket bag 38 and the back pocket bag 48, and the loop portion 30b can be enlarged simply by holding and pulling when tightening the hem 28. The front pocket bag 38 and the back pocket bag 48 are sewn to the center front of the front body 12, and are connected to each other by pocket fixing stitches 52, and are further connected near the hem 28 by the pocket end locking pieces 42, so that they do not move significantly and the elastic cord 30 can be operated stably.
