A convertible insulated glove capable of being reconfigured into the form of two separately detachable half sections for the handling and placement of hot or cold objects intended to be worn on a person's hand when joined together, or alternatively used with one or both hands as pot holders when separated to protect the hands from exposure to temperature extremes. Alternatively, an insulated glove that can be partially opened or fully separated to form one or more trivets to protect a surface from a hot or cold object placed therebetween. Further, a convertible insulated glove having additional features rendering it easier to clean and resist the growth of microorganism for improved sanitation and safety with the handling of foods, as well as preventing stains and malodors from developing during use.

Described is an apparatus for reversibly modifying the optical appearance of a piece of apparel. The apparatus may include a position-determining system for determining the position of the piece of apparel, a projecting system for projecting colors, images and/or patterns onto the piece of apparel, and a shape-modifying system for modifying the shape of the piece of apparel, e.g., the surface of the piece of apparel.

A sleeved garment of the invention designed to have an underlying garment having sleeves and a sleeveless or strapless overlying garment for the purpose of varying the appearance of the overlying garment, while at the same time concealing a woman's arms without adding undue bulkiness on the torso of the wearer. The underlying garment is made from a nylon and spandex blend such that the garment is designed to be form fitting and fit snugly around the arms and torso of the wearer.

A detachable garment includes a front panel and a back panel. The front panel includes a first outer edge opposite to a second outer edge, a first side having a first pattern, a second side having a second pattern, and a fastener located near the first outer edge and the second outer edge. The back panel includes a third outer edge opposite to a fourth outer edge, a third side having a third pattern, a fourth side having a fourth pattern, and a complementary fastener configured to mate with the fastener and located near the third outer edge and the fourth outer edge. A width of the back panel is greater than a width of the front panel. The third and fourth outer edges are each configured to fold over a portion of the back panel to mate the complementary fastener with a respective fastener on the front panel.

A system (10) for applying indicia to a reversible garment. The system is comprised of an indicia barrier (12) typically in the form of a square (14) and a reversible garment (38) that includes a first layer (40) with an inner section (42) and an outer section (44), and a second layer (46) with an inner section and an outer section. A re-sealable opening (58) having an opening fastener (60) allows the indicia barrier (12) to be inserted between either of the layers, thereby creating an impediment between the layers. Once the indicia barrier (12) is in place, indicia can be applied to one surface of the layer without also being applied to the adjoining layer. The reversible garment (38) can be turned inside-out and indicia can then be applied to the other surface of the layer.

A reversible infinity scarf to provide protection in both dry and wet conditions is formed of a continuous looped body having a first length of material adapted for the dry conditions and a second length of material adapted for the wet conditions attached to each other. The first and second lengths of material have first and second latitudinal edges extending the length of the scarf and first and second longitudinal edges extending the width of the scarf. The first and second lengths of material are attached to each other along their first and second latitudinal edges and along their first and second latitudinal edges at the first and second free ends of the first and second lengths of material. The first and second free ends of the first and second lengths of material are interconnected to form the continuous looped body of the infinity scarf.

An underwear garment system may include a main underwear garment, including a wearable body portion having an inner side facing the wearer. A first pocket and a second pocket, each having a top opening, may be carried by the body portion on the inner side, concealed from sight. The second pocket may be formed of a fluid impermeable material and may be suspended from the body portion in a pivotable manner with respect to the body portion. The body portion may be deformable and pivoted about the pivot point to fit within the second pocket. The main underwear garment may be configured to selectively adopt a wearable, first configuration and storage or second configuration. In the second configuration, the body portion may be deformed, pivoted, and fluid-tightly received within the second pocket. A compressed, elastic strip may retain the body portion within the second pocket in the second configuration.

A garment having a first face and a second face on an opposite side of the first face comprises: a quality display portion that displays quality information related to quality of the garment and is provided on the second face; and a display cover portion that displays information (identification information) other than the quality information and is provided to cover the quality display portion. At least one of the quality display portion and the display cover portion is deformable so as to be able to transition between a covered state in which the quality display portion is covered by the display cover portion and an exposed state in which at least a part of the quality display portion is exposed.
