A puffer jacket configured to provide improved temperature regulation through graduated venting. In one embodiment, the jacket includes a back panel with baffles and insulation arranged to provide reduced insulation and increased venting of heat and humidity toward the center of the back. The back panel may include an alternating arrangement of insulation baffles (containing insulation) and vent baffles (free of insulation). The insulation baffles and vent baffles may be formed by joining inner and outer layers of fabric with laterally extending lines of stitching. The lines of stitching may follow paths selected to progressively change the relative size of the vent baffles and the insulation baffles toward the center of the back. For example, the lines of stitching may give the insulation baffles a somewhat hourglass shape shortening toward the center of the back resulting in increasingly greater venting of heat and humidity toward the center of the back.

A therapeutic weighted robe having a body constructed of a soft pliable plush fabric that is divided into a plurality of body pocket sections along the exterior surface of the body. The robe further comprises a pair of shoulders integrally formed with the body, wherein each shoulder is divided into three sealed shoulder pocket sections. A collar is attached to the body and shoulders, and houses a number of collar pocket sections and a tubular border. Each of the body pocket sections, shoulder pocket sections and collar pocket sections accommodate a carrier of dense filler elements, preferably glass beads. The shoulder pocket sections comprise approximately 7 to 16 percent of the total glass bead weight of the therapeutic weighted robe, wherein the shoulder pocket sections are more dense than other sections of the therapeutic robe.

A coat tote system provides users with an attachable strap which, when slung across the chest, allows for hands-free carrying of a clothing garment when it is not worn. The device features small holes or slits on the ends, enabling the strap to be secured to a coat, jacket, or other garment via snaps, buttons, clasps, or other fastener mechanisms. It attaches to the back panel of a coat or jacket via the fastener mechanisms. The device allows users to transport clothing garments without having to stuff it inside a backpack, purse, etc. or having to carry the jacket in hand. As designed it offers a much simpler and more convenient method of transporting clothing garments.
