A sock storage and organizing apparatus includes an attachment portion and a depending portion detachable therefrom. The depending portion includes a looped drawstring member dependable from the attachment portion. The looped drawstring presents an apex in contact with a hook member disposed upon the attachment portion, a pair of strands disposed in parallel therefrom, and a nadir terminally disposed distally relative the apex. Each of the pair of strands is strung through each of a plurality of slidable buckle members, each of which plurality of slidable buckle members is securably repositionable along the length of the looped drawstring member. Pairs of socks are thus securable between each of the pair of strands by selective position of an adjacent one of the plurality of slidable buckle members. A user may conveniently store socks for wear, and sequentially replace socks subsequent wear for laundering, ported, laundered, and maintained as a single unit.

An example method of marking garments to provide a plurality of garment pairs includes weaving a first tag into a first garment of a plurality of garments, the first tag having a corresponding first color. The method also includes weaving a first circumferential thread into a second garment of the plurality of garments, wherein the first circumferential thread is the first color, and wherein each garment comprises an open end and a closed end separated by a garment body, and wherein the first tag and the first circumferential thread are woven into the respective first garment and second garment proximate the respective open ends.

A laundry holding snare device for holding multiple clothing items, particularly clothing items without full openings, is provided. The snare device can include two cord sections secured together at at least one end by an end stopper. The two cord sections can also be secured together at various locations along the length of the snare by intermediate stoppers in order to create several loading regions. Within the loading regions and attached to the cord sections can be a cordlock fastener that can be used to secure the clothing items between the cord sections at each loading region. The snare device can be configured for use as a stand-alone laundry device and the snare device can be configured for use with a laundry strap holder.

A fastening device and a fastening system including two fastening devices. The fastening device includes a first part having a first engaging side and a second part having a second engaging side, and at least two sets of individual engaging members configured to engage each other. Each set of engaging members includes a hook member and a locking member. The hook member protrudes from the first engaging side and has an engagement side from which a hook protrudes. The locking member is pivotably connected to the second part and extends into a recess in the second engaging side. The recess is adapted to receive the hook member for engagement with the locking member, and the locking member is configured to pivot towards the hook member when the hook member is in engagement with the locking member and a force is applied from the hook member on the locking member.

The present invention relates to a pair of knitted socks or stockings which can be removably connected to one another, in which a first attachment part is firmly attached to one of the two socks or stockings in order to receive a second complementary attachment part in a removable manner, the attachment part being firmly connected to the other of the two socks or stockings, wherein the knitted fabric of the socks or stockings has a stitch density of at least 2000 SD at least in the attachment region of the respective attachment part and is knitted using a reinforcing thread which is not visible from the outside of the socks or stockings and has a tear resistance which corresponds to at least the average tear resistance of the tear resistances of the ground thread, the plating thread and the reinforcing thread of the knitted fabric, none of the threads having a tear resistance of <10 cN/tex.

A pairing device for securing to articles of clothing together includes a first fastener assembly, having a male buckle having a rigid protrusion extending from the male buckle; and a first band attached to the male buckle and to secure to a first of the articles of clothing; a second fastener assembly, having a female buckle with a flexible opening to receive the rigid male protrusion; and a second band attached to the female buckle and to secure to a second of the articles of clothing; the male buckle and female buckle are to secure together, thereby securing the first article of clothing to the second article of clothing.

A loss prevention mechanism may be attached to an article of clothing to prevent the removal of the article and/or at least one covering worn by the child. One implementation has a first connector coupled to a first covering, the first connector having a connector capable of forming a connection with a second covering, and a second connector coupled to the first connector and the first covering, wherein the second covering is positioned in a proximity to the first covering. The covering(s) may be any number of type of covering including socks, shoes, gloves, mittens, hats, and the like. The coupling mechanism is easy to operate yet requires a combination of skills not often exhibited by young children. Further, the components are all interconnected thereby preventing separation of and choking on any of the components.
