A garment worn on the upper body is disclosed having a right and left body portions that are joined at the front and rear by a corresponding fastening mechanism. This allows the right body portion and left body portion to separated from one another and interchanged with other body portions to vary the visual characteristics of the garment. The right and left body portions can have different visual characteristics.

A plastic-cladding filament structure includes a combined arrangement of a thermoplastic elastomer and at least one conductive filament. The thermoplastic elastomer includes a rigid chain segment and a flexible chain segment. The at least one conductive filament is enclosed and housed in the thermoplastic elastomer so that the conductive filament may be attachable, through heating, melting, and bonding of the thermoplastic elastomer, in which through the property that the thermoplastic elastomer is solid in room temperature and gets melted to become liquid when heated to a predetermined temperature and gets solidified and bonded after being cooled, the thermoplastic elastomer that encloses and houses the conductive filament is allowed to attached to a fabric article or a base layer through solidification and bonding resulting from cooling, thereby improving utilization thereof.

A multipurpose customizable garment designed to be transformed from the form of arm-wear into other types of garments. Specifically, the hybrid garment can be converted from a detachable sleeve to a scarf, vest, and a variety of neck-wear, leg-wear, and clothing tops by selective use of a plurality of fasteners which enable the wearer to vary the size and appearance of the garment.

A padded garment includes a garment, a first fabric layer, a second fabric layer, a first interstitial binding, and a second interstitial binding. Further, the garment includes a torso portion. Further, the first fabric layer is disposed in an interior of the garment. Further, the second fabric layer is disposed in the interior. Further, the first interstitial binding includes a first stitching. Further, the second interstitial binding includes a second stitching. Further, at least one first portion of a second fabric layer periphery of the second fabric layer is engaged to an inner surface of the garment using the second interstitial binding. Further, at least one first portion of a first fabric layer periphery of the first fabric layer is engaged to at least a portion of at least one second portion of the second fabric layer periphery of the second fabric layer using the first interstitial binding.

An article of clothing, such as a dress shirt, blouse, coat, jacket, or vest, includes a sheet of material forming a body portion. First and second plackets are formed along respective first and second end portions of the sheet of material. First and second magnetic elements, each being encased in an encasement, are secured inside first and second pockets, respectively, such that positions of the plurality of second magnetic elements correspond to positions of the plurality of first magnetic elements.
