The invention relates to a lined garment. The lined garment comprises the following components, all of which are made of the same synthetic polymer material, e.g., of recycled polyester. The components are an outer textile layer, an inner textile layer and a lining arranged between the inner textile layer and the outer textile layer. The outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer are manufactured individually, wherein a connecting means, which is made of the same synthetic polymer material as the components, is led through the outer textile layer, the lining and the inner textile layer, so that the outer textile layer is firmly connected to the inner textile layer and so that the lining is enclosed and fixed between the outer textile layer and the inner textile layer.

A baffled insulating garment/blanket panel may include a first layer, a second layer, an insulating particle layer and a third layer. The second layer may have folds forming trough-shaped walls comprising a first wall, a second wall and a third wall, each of which is secured to the first wall. The insulating particle layer may include a first portion between the first wall and the second wall and sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer and a second portion between the second wall and the third wall and sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer. The third layer may include folds forming consecutive trough-shaped walls comprising a fourth wall secured within the first wall and a fifth wall secured within the third wall, wherein portions of the third layer between the fourth wall and the fifth wall span across a top of the second wall.

Disclosed are embodiments of a jacket that can be converted into, for example, a tote bag. The convertible jacket can include zippers placed at the midriff and waist for converting the jacket into a tote bag. In some embodiments, the handles of the tote bag are placed inside of the convertible jacket for carrying the tote bag after the convertible jacket is converted into the tote bag. In certain embodiments, the tote bag portion can be unzipped from the convertible jacket, then the jacket can be worn as a cropped jacket or the top portion of the convertible jacket can be placed into the tote bag. In one embodiment, the convertible jacket can include a zipper at the hem to form the bottom of the tote bag, and can include another zipper at the middle of the jacket for facilitating detachment of the bottom portion from the convertible jacket.

Some embodiments provide a protective motorcycle blazer for protecting a motorcyclist. The protective motorcycle blazer includes an outer layer comprising textile fabric for providing an appearance of a blazer, a middle layer comprising abrasion resistant material for providing abrasion resistance to the protective motorcycle blazer, and an inner layer for providing an interface between the motorcyclist and the protective motorcycle blazer.

An apparatus and method for masking or reducing undesired scents emanating from hunting and military gear, the method including providing a hand-held, cordless steamer having a reservoir, a boiler, a gas combustion device and a gas cartridge, adding a liquid cover scent preparation or a liquid scent reducing preparation to the reservoir, pumping the cover scent preparation or the scent reducing preparation from the reservoir to the boiler, using the gas combustion device to ignite and combust a gas delivered from the source of gas thereby creating heat which is used to convert the liquid in the boiler into a steam, and applying the steam directly to a piece of hunting or military gear.

The invention relates to a garment with a thermal insulation structure. The thermal insulation structure comprises a first insulation element with a first insulation layer and a second insulation element with a second insulation layer, wherein the second insulation element has a different initial shape than the first insulation element and the first insulation element is connected to the second insulation element. The second insulation element is deformed when the garment is worn by a pressure on an inner side of the thermal insulation structure, so that a contact area, in which the first insulation element contacts the second insulation element, is increased. The thermal insulation structure further comprises a third insulation element with a third insulation layer.

An active-insulation paneling component and garments including an active-insulation paneling component. The active-insulation paneling component includes insulated panels separated by gussets. The gussets are configured to expand upon an outward pulling force to allow the active-insulation paneling component and/or garment to expand even where the active-insulation paneling component and/or garment are not manufactured from elastic materials.
