A harness (10) is provided for retaining a pair of electrical rubber insulating workman sleeves (12) on the shoulders (14) of a worker (16). The harness (10) is configured to grip a portion of the worker and thereby provide better anchoring of the electrical rubber insulating sleeves (12) to the worker. The gripping feature of the harness (10) is provided either in the form of a gripping collar (24) or a pair of fabric gripping sleeves (26), or a combination of the collar (24) and sleeves (26). Further, a C-shaped connector is configured for attaching the electrical rubber insulating sleeves (12) to a single point on a harness, which allows for an increased range of motion of the sleeves (12).

A badge system for a shirt carrier or like body armor carrying includes an attachment panel and a badge flap removably attached to the attachment panel. A retention tab is located at the top of the attachment panel such that the top edge of the badge is sandwiched between the strap and the attachment panel to secure the badge to the carrier. The badge flap is printable and embroiderable or may be used a surface on which badges or other items can be attached. The badge flaps can be conveniently printed or embroidered in bulk, avoiding the difficulties associated with printing or embroidering directly on the shirt carrier.

A garment system includes a garment, a first male connector, and a female connector. The first male connector is coupled with the garment and includes a base and a first ridge coupled with and protruding from the base. The first ridge defines an aperture and has a first ridge outer wall, a first ridge inner wall, and a first ridge central portion extending therebetween. The first ridge further includes a ramp extending from the aperture toward the base at a non-zero angle, and a shelf coupled with the ramp and defining a securing cavity. The female connector is configured to be coupled with the first male connector and includes a cap and a rim. The rim is coupled with and protrudes from the cap, and extends substantially around the cap. A tab is coupled with the rim inner wall and is sized to fit within the aperture.

A garment including a body having a first garment portion and a second garment portion, and a releasable fastener configured to releasably couple the first garment portion to the second garment portion. The garment further includes a covering flap movable between a covering position wherein the covering flap covers the releasable fastener and a retracted position wherein the covering flap does not cover the releasable fastener. The garment has a magnetic fastener system configured to selectively retain the covering flap in the covering position.

The present invention relates to a decorative functional closure device that is sewn into and applied to clothing. In one embodiment, a method of converting cultured pearls from a strand or necklace to the functional closure device is described. The method includes removing a pearl from a strand, drawing a thread through the pearl using a threader from a first side of the pearl, using a wire protector to create a horseshoe or loop shape at the other side of the pearl such that both ends of the thread are sticking out of the first side of the pearl, tying off and trimming the thread ends, and optionally attaching a seed bead, sewing the horseshoe or loop shape to the clothing such that the pearl can be used to pass through a buttonhole for securing one side of the clothing to another side of the clothing.

A button is provided, for use in a soft shackle in a rope. The button is made of a material equal to or exceeding the strength of the rope. The button has a notch and an oval. The notch and oval form a bar. The bar is dimensioned in size to not deform when the button is under a load equal to the strength of the rope.
