The present invention relates to a dress shirt adapted with buttonholes and brackets for use with decorative fasteners, such as cufflinks, to keep the collar in place.

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophilic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.

A composite fabric is disclosed in which an information beacon is embedded within the composite fabric to assist with loss prevention, anti-counterfeiting, locating lost individuals or the like. In embodiments, layers of fabric may be joined using adhesive, stitching, quilted stitching, riveting, or other means to securely house an information beacon. In embodiments of the invention, an information beacon may be encased in a housing that provides resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and temperature and allows the fabric to be washed in a conventional laundry cycle. In embodiment, Bluetooth Low Energy device that utilizes a smartphone and mobile application software to provide the location of the beacon. In alternate embodiments, RFID or other technology may be used. The composite fabric of the present invention has myriad uses and may be used to fabricate articles such as clothing, handbags, wallets, shoes, and so forth.

An article of clothing that is engineered to be configured, when worn, in a variety of styles, depending on the desired fit on the part of an individual. One feature of the article of the present invention provides for a wraparound/sarong that is capable of being configured in at least four different variations, with each variation being distinctive in how the extreme ends of the sleeves are united and the location of where each united ends are positioned.

An ornamental design for a hood that can be applied to any garment and said garment wherein a hole or space in the back of the hood allows the wearer of the garment's head to pass through the hole or space. The application allows any garment to be worn both ways.

A composite garment includes a skirt, being a loose piece of material of a bell-shaped longitudinal configuration fitting around the body of a wearer from the waist downward to proximate the knees, and a bodice, being a tubular-shaped piece of material of an hour-glass longitudinal configuration fitting around the body from below the hips upward to the arm pits. Button holes are spaced apart in one of front and back portions of a hem of the skirt. Buttons are spaced apart on the other of front and back portions of the skirt hem so as to allow fitting some buttons through some button holes and thereby closing of the skirt at the hem either between the wearer's legs so as to convert the skirt into either trousers or along the wearer's shoulders and arms so as to convert the skirt into blouse.
