A winged cape for wearing by a person includes a flexible inner web and a flexible outer web, each fixed together with a threaded stitch at a common outline. Each web has a top edge and at least one side edge. Four arm slots are formed through the inner web to define a pair of sleeves that are generally orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of each web. Preferably two or more opposing elastic finger rings are each fixed with the at least one side edge of the inner web on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis of the inner web and proximate to a longitudinal axis of the sleeves. With each arm of the person positioned through one of the sleeves and a finger of each hand of the person inserted through one of the finger rings, the webs form a winged cape worn by the person.

A garment engaged in a sound-reducing state includes a first garment portion formed with a sound-absorbing material with transmission loss properties and configured to surround a wearer's head and ears to form a substantially enclosed reduced-sound zone, when the first garment portion is engaged in a sound-reducing state. The garment also includes a second garment portion operable with the first garment portion, for example, where the first garment portion is a hood and the second garment portion is the body of a hooded sweatshirt. In the sound-reducing state, the sound-absorbing barrier material reduces an amount of sound passing through the sound-absorbing material and over the material on the inside of the reduced-sound zone into the substantially enclosed reduced-sound zone.

A chair with covering. The chair with covering includes a frame that supports a seat and a back support that forms a platform that supports a seated user. The frame includes at least one support leg that raises the seat from the ground. A garment is connected to the chair and is configured to move between a deployed position and a retracted position, wherein the garment is stored within a pocket in the retracted position. The pocket is affixed to the chair and includes an open upper end for receiving and for removing the garment. In the deployed position, the garment is configured to extend over the seat and the back support. In one use, the chair and garment provide protection from inclement weather when outdoors. In one embodiment, the pocket is affixable to the chair via adjustable strap that wraps around the back support.
