An article of clothing includes a body portion and at least one sleeve. An inner layer of the sleeve is formed by a first material, and an outer layer of the sleeve is formed by a second material having a satin weave. The outer layer extends to the wrist area and is attached such that a shiny side of the satin weave faces outward and a dull side of the satin weave faces inward. The outer layer has an orientation of a two-way stretch characteristic being around a circumference of the sleeve and not lengthwise along the length of the sleeve. The inner layer and the outer layer are joined by a longitudinal seam running lengthwise along a top of the sleeve. A wearer operates a computer mouse with the wrist area of the sleeve intermediate the wearer's inner wrist and a mousepad. The outer layer glides against the mousepad.

The present disclosure is directed to a wearable article for holding a medical device, such as a ventricular assist device, and methods of using and making the same. The wearable article comprises a rear pocket that is upside-down and can further be padded. Other padded pockets can also be provided.

A compression garment with an integrated receptacle that provides liquid to a user is disclosed. The compression garment has at least one exterior cavity for receiving a receptacle and at least one tube channel with tube channel openings for receiving the tube from the exterior cavity and to route the tube across the chest of a user and into a webbing loop. An o-ring that locks a breakable foil seal in place is provided when a spout is connected to the neck element and the spout secures the liquid in the reservoir by compressing the o-ring on the foil seal. A grab ridge is then used to release the reservoir from the cavity of the compression garment as desired by the user.

An athletic garment assembly for anchoring a rider to a seat of a bicycle includes a pair of shorts that is wearable on a rider's lower body. The pair of shorts has an external engagement that is integrated into a crotch of the shorts. The external engagement engages a nose of a seat on a bicycle when the rider sits on the seat. In this way the external engagement can anchor the rider to the seat.

An article of apparel has a front panel, a pouch attached to the front panel, and a thermally-insulating pocket configured to retain a beverage container disposed between the pouch and the front panel. The pocket has a second end opposite a first end and a body joining the first and second ends. The pocket is attached to the pouch and the front panel.

A garment or article of clothing made of a resilient/elastomeric material includes at least a waist portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The waist portion further includes a pocket on the rear of the garment, where the pocket is defined by a backing panel, a first flap, and a second flap. The first flap is at least partially disposed over the second flap to secure contents between the backing panel and the second panel, and thus, within the pocket. When the waist portion is stretched, the tensile forces imparted onto the waist portion by the resilient/elastomeric material causes the first flap to at least partially overlie the second flap. The pocket is sized and shaped to receive smartphones and other small personal items, such as keys, money, credit cards, identifications, etc.

A patient garment for post-surgical and other medical-related procedures is provided. The garment can include a main body with a front portion, rear portion, upper collar end, lower waist end and arm openings that are collectively configured to fit around a patient's upper body portion. The front portion can include first and second side sections, each having a longitudinal edge that form a separable front seam for opening and closing the front portion of the garment. The garment can include as many as twelve or more pockets located on the interior and exterior surfaces of the garment. The pockets can be located intermediately along the height of the front portion of the garment. At least one of the pockets located along the collar end of the garment is configured for receiving a drainage reservoir connected to a patient's cranial or neck drainage site. At least one surface of the garment, such as the interior of the garment, is fabricated from a material that has been chemically treated to reduce surface friction and irritation against the skin of a wearer. The chemical treatment of the fabric may comprise of dimethicone.

A retaining sleeve includes a strip of elastic fabric having a rectangular, square or arcuate shape. The sleeve has two lateral sides, which are sewn onto the fabric of an underlying item of apparel. The sleeve has two open ends, which have a width equal to or less than the length of the lateral sides, and through which a retained object is received. Since the length of the sleeve's lateral sides is less than the length of the retained object, the ends of the retained object protrude beyond the sleeve ends and can be readily grasped when the object is needed.

An apparatus includes multiple first reservoirs and multiple second reservoirs joined with a substrate. Selected ones of the multiple first reservoirs include a reducing agent, and first reservoir surfaces of selected ones of the multiple first reservoirs are proximate to a first substrate surface. Selected ones of the multiple second reservoirs include an oxidizing agent, and second reservoir surfaces of selected ones of the multiple second reservoirs are proximate to the first substrate surface.

Wraps that provide heat and flame resistant properties to a portable radio, a remote speaker microphone (RSM), and a cord therebetween have an elongate body having a head and a tail, opposing first and second major surfaces that each have first and second elongate edges, and first and second elongate sides. The elongate body is made of flame and heat resistant fabric and has first fasteners positioned as a releasably mateable pair when the first and second elongate sides meet or overlap in a wrapped positioned. The head defines an opening therethrough positioned for alignment with a voice amplifier of a RSM when the wrap is in a wrapped position around the RSM. A wrap may be and independent article or it may be sewn to a firefighter turnout coat on a front boy section proximate a neck section of the coat.
