Garments made from a composite, protective fabric are disclosed. The composite fabric has textile layers placed in proximity to metallic mesh layers of woven stainless steel mesh. The metal mesh layers formed from any metal which forms suitable fibers. The textile layers are fabric formed with well-known fabric fibers selected from those including para-aramid fibers, meta-aramid fibers, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, polyethylene terephthalate fibers, cellulose fibers, polyamide fibers, a mixture of para-aramid fibers and meta-aramid fibers, and a mixture of para-aramid fibers and carbon fibers. Forming the non-metal textile layers is by any suitable method for interlacing yarns including weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or felting, or combinations thereof. The garments made using the fabric include gloves, bullet proof vests and chain-saw resistant trousers.

A toteable or wearable fashion item configured to provide an electronic charge to a mobile electronic device. The item includes a battery including a battery housing enclosing at least one battery cell and at least one electronic connection port in communication with the battery cell. The battery is secured relative to the fashion item within a concealing enclosure which defines at least one connection port opening which facilitates access to the at least one electronic connection port. The battery is substantially concealed except through the at least one connection port opening.

An apparel system including a base layer component and a vest component that safely may be worn by a child in a child safety seat with a five-point harness (including convertible, combination, and forward facing with a harness). This may provide warmth for the child while transitioning from indoors to the vehicle and while traveling in the car. This apparel system also may provide protection from the elements should the child be involved in a vehicle accident. The apparel system may include a vest component, such as with a hood, that may be worn over the base layer, such as a jacket, to provide added warmth for outdoor activities. In embodiments, the vest component may not be intended to be worn, and in embodiments should not be worn, while the child is in the child safety seat. This system may be safe, versatile, and convenient.
