A system and method of selectively connecting at least two articles of clothing is provided. First and second articles, which may comprise a glove and jacket sleeve or cuff, have mating geometries and at least one fastener to securely and selectively connect the two articles. In certain embodiments, magnets are provided as fasteners to connect the articles. For example, in certain embodiments, a method and system is provided that comprises features adapted to allow connection of an accessory (e.g. ski glove) to a portion of another article (e.g. jacket).

The present disclosure provides embodiments of a wearable retainer that are provided for holding a fire resistant glove in place on a wrist of a user. Some implementations of the retainer include a flame retardant main loop formed from flame retardant material configured to be worn about a wrist of a user, as well as a flame retardant strap coupled to the flame retardant loop. The flame retardant strap includes a coupling to be attached to a portion of a fire resistant glove. Also described are various aspects of an accountability system for emergency workers, such as firefighters.

An outerwear article comprises a sleeve and a hand covering. The sleeve defines and extends from a shoulder end and an open end. The sleeve includes a liner, an outer shell extending around the liner, and a pocket defined between the outer shell and the liner. The pocket has an opening on an inside of the sleeve and on a side of the pocket nearest the open end. The hand covering is sewn to the sleeve adjacent the opening via a seam line. The hand covering is rotatable about the seam line from a storage position within the pocket to a use position extending from the seam line out the open end of the sleeve to fit over a wearer's hand.

The Garment Stay-Up Tab is a flat, flexible, tape device that keeps garments such as stockings and long gloves fastened in their intended positions by means of a sanitary, hypo-allergenic adhesive substrate, with its externally visible tab being colored or cut in a decorative design or having a decorative applique applied to it.

A retractable and wearable hand cover is disclosed. The hand cover is worn while handing objects and surfaces that are suspected of being contaminated. To encourage the hand cover's use and to avoid unintentional contact with the hand cover's potentially contaminated outer surface, the hand cover is biased towards an open configuration to enable easy one-handed donning and removal. The hand cover is coupled to a tether retractably wound on a spring biased reel assembly that is clipped to a piece of clothing preferably on or near the waistband area. This facilitates very targeted and temporary yet repetitious use when interacting with objects and various surfaces, as opposed to a disposable glove that is designed to fit tightly around the hand and is usually worn for extended periods of time because it must be immediately thrown away upon removal.

A garment including a body portion, left and right sleeve portions, and integrated left and right handwear portions is provided. A left handwear portion is integrated with a left sleeve portion forming a left sleeve-handwear combination, and a right handwear is integrated with a right sleeve portion forming a right sleeve-handwear combination. The left sleeve-handwear combination includes a sealable opening located near the distal end of the left sleeve portion and the small-finger side of the left handwear, and the right sleeve-handwear combination includes a sealable opening located near the distal end of the right sleeve portion and the right small-finger side of the right handwear. The sealable openings, when open, enable the wearer to remove his/her hands from the sleeve-handwear combinations, and when sealed, prevent outside elements from entering the sleeve-handwear combinations. The handwear may include gloves or mittens, and the garment may include a jacket, a pullover, or other types of garments. The garment also may include left and right side pockets, left and right breast pocket, a hood, a face mask, a crewneck, and/or a turtleneck.

Garments including a sleeve and a cuff frame. The sleeve including a cuff and defining a sleeve opening configured to receive an arm, a wrist, and a hand of a wearer. The cuff frame being secured to the sleeve proximate the cuff and configured to support the sleeve opening from collapsing under compressive forces. The cuff frame defines a wrist opening sized to enable the hand and the wrist of the wearer to pass through the wrist opening.

A garment including a plurality of attached glove members having releasably attached glove bodies is provided. The garment includes a central portion and two opposed sleeve portions. Each attached glove member is attached to each opposed sleeve portion through the use of a retainer. The glove members may be used separately or together, allowing the user to deploy a combination of glove members simultaneously.

A hand warming having an open end for receiving a player's hand, a closed end, and a generally cylindrical interior chamber that is located between the open and closed ends. The interior chamber is insulated and surrounded by a water-proof outer covering. A flexible collar having an elastic band closure extends from the perimeter edge of the open end. A looped panel is attached to the outer covering. The panel is attached to the outer covering so as to form first and second tunnels for selectively receiving a belt for vertical mounting. First and second belt loops are attached across the panel for horizontal mounting. A flap that can be closed and the first and second belt loops can be used to retain the hand warmer in place when the hand warmer is horizontally positioned.
