The present disclosure relates to a portable attachment and communication system that enable a desired image to be displayed with flexibility and lower power consumption in an article worn or carried by a human. The portable attachment is an article including a display body made of an electrophoretic display, the article being carried or worn by a user. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a portable attachment, etc. Examples of the portable attachment carried by a user are a bag, a wallet, a key holder, etc. Examples of the portable attachment worn by the user are a hair accessory, a tie, a watch, clothing, etc.

A woven trim piece is provided that utilizes “grip” yarns in the warp direction to increase the coefficient of friction of the trim piece. The grip yarns are interlaced with a plurality of filling yarns to form a repeating pattern of floats on a first face of the trim piece, such that a high percentage of the first face of the trim piece comprises grip yarns.

A bottom wear is described which has a cylindrical part on the back part of a waist-encircling section and inside the bottom wear and in which a protection band for lumbago can be attached to a bottom wear such as work trousers suitable for use with a protection band for lumbago for tightening a waist of a wearer. The bottom wear allows the wearer to quickly complete work for attaching the protection band for lumbago to the cylindrical part. One slit is present at the substantially central part of the front portion of the cylindrical part, wherein the slit is disposed in such a manner that the longitudinal direction is substantially parallel to the wearer's stature direction.

Disclosed are belt adjustment systems, particularly for wearing around a user's waist, that permit a continuum of belt loop sizes or a larger selection of belt loop sizes. The belt adjustment system includes an elongate belt member having a first end, a second end and a series of teeth positioned on an inner surface near the second end and a fixation member having first and second adjustment elements.

A belt is configured to be worn around a waistline of a pair of pants. The belt includes a belt buckle located at a first terminal end of the belt, a belt strap end segment including at least two adjoined link sections at a second terminal end of the belt, and a belt strap middle portion extending between the belt buckle and the belt strap end segment and including a plurality of binary, repeating, alternating belt strap component segments of two varieties, a first variety including a plurality of stacked, unconnected link sections and second variety including a plurality of stacked, adjoined link sections.

Devices, a set of devices, and methods are described to create coordinated, or synchronized, displays of colors by worn fashion accessories, such as necklaces, earrings, shoes, belts, and the like. A master device is defined that sends broadcast, wireless commands to slave devices, which respond with colors and timing in a synchronized way, typically to enhance the experiences of the wearers. Synchronization may include simultaneous lighting, sequential lighting, the same color or coordinated colors. A group ID in messages is defined so that a first set of fashion accessories on a first group of wearers may be controlled by one master, while a nearby second set of fashion accessories worn by a second set of wearers controlled by a second master do not conflict. Operation, including changes from a standby state to an operational state is automatic, using, for example motion detection.

A garment or article of clothing made of a resilient/elastomeric material includes at least a waist portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The waist portion further includes a pocket on the rear of the garment, where the pocket is defined by a backing panel, a first flap, and a second flap. The first flap is at least partially disposed over the second flap to secure contents between the backing panel and the second panel, and thus, within the pocket. When the waist portion is stretched, the tensile forces imparted onto the waist portion by the resilient/elastomeric material causes the first flap to at least partially overlie the second flap. The pocket is sized and shaped to receive smartphones and other small personal items, such as keys, money, credit cards, identifications, etc.
