A threading instrument for sliding an elongated cord or drawstring through an elongated internal passageway of a wearable article, and a method of using the same is provided. The present invention incorporates the threading instrument in a kit along with a plurality of different design drawstrings. In the kit, each drawstring is adapted to be threaded through the elongated internal passageway by way of the threading instrument. The kit enables a user to more efficiently than the prior art to interchange the drawstrings through the elongated internal passageway of the wearable article, thereby enabling an expeditious and selectively swap out of the drawstring, whereby they can use the different drawstrings to convey different messages/moods when desired.

A tactical glove (1) with a glove body (2), glove fingers (3a to 3e) and a sheath (4) adjoining the glove body (2). A closure system is provided in the form of a strap (5). The strap is fastened at one end to the tactical glove (1) and has a mechanical closure (6) that is moved onto a corresponding mechanical closure (7) by a closing movement of the strap (5) in order to constrict the sheath (4), via which a mechanical closure is formed. On the sheath (4) a zipper (8) is provided, the slider (9) of which is joined to the strap (5) by a coupling such that when a closing movement of the strap (5) is performed, the zipper (8) closes.

This invention is directed toward a garment that is comfortable to wear and can safely, with easy accessibility, securely and inconspicuously store a cell phone and other important items. A preferred embodiment of the invention is a pair of shorts, with an elasticized waistband that can be tightened by a non-elasticized drawstring cord. There is a seamless, knitted inner layer similar to “boy short” style underwear. This seamless, knitted “boy short” style underwear inner layer provides comfort to the user. Two vertical side hip interior pockets are sewn onto the inner liner of the seamless, knitted “boy short” underwear at the hips of the user, making it comfortable for a user to carry a cell phone and/or other items. The shorts have a thin line of reflective fabric sewn into the hip seams and on the hem of the shorts, providing safety for the user during times of low visibility.

Aspects herein provide methods of transforming a stowable article of apparel for an upper torso of a wearer. The article of apparel comprises a first tensioning mechanism superior to and parallel with a waist opening, and a second tensioning mechanism coincident with the waist opening and spaced apart from the first tensioning mechanism. An upper half of the article of apparel is doffed. The waist opening is folded upward toward the first tensioning mechanism forming a pouch between the first and second tensioning mechanisms where the upper half of the article of apparel is stowed. The second tensioning mechanism is tensioned, thereby stowing the article of apparel in the pouch around the wearer.

A method and apparatus to convert clothing for sexual interest, bondage and power play. The clothing includes convertible dresses, convertible jacket or convertible skirt. An outer layer of the clothing is formed of a rigid layer to serve as a restraining element in bondage or power play for sexual interest. An under base layer can be formed of a flexible material to protect the skin from undesired friction from the outer layer. Fastening and release mechanisms are used for coupling the under base layer to the outer layer and removal of the under base layer from the outer layer. The fastening and release mechanisms can be used to expeditiously detach the under base layer from the outer layer without the need to manipulate the outer layer. The under base layer can be decoupled from the outer layer transforming the garment into sexual paraphernalia, such as a bondage cage.
