Description
- The present invention relates generally to a hooded garment. More particularly, the invention encompasses a hooded garment, such as, a hoodie, with an integrated turtle neck or tubular collar having a zipper. The invention further includes the option of the garment having one or more content sleeves and/or one or more pouches or pockets.
- Since of advent of time human beings have worn various types of clothing to protect themselves from the elements. Some of these clothing have been directed to a cold weather climate, while others to hot weather conditions, and still others to moderate or intermediate temperature environments.
- It is well know in the art that many types of cool or cold weather apparel exist for protecting a wearer's body, especially, the upper torso, including coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, and other similar outerwear. In many cases, different items of apparel may be worn together, such as a coat and a hat, to improve the overall protection for the wearer. Similarly, certain apparel may combine features, such as a coat liner or removable hood, to increase the circumstances in which the apparel might be appropriately used.
- It is also well known that a significant percentage of a person's body heat is radiated through his or her head. For this reason, various apparel exist that are designed to cover the head and neck when worn. Among these various items of apparel include face mask, hats, caps, knitted hats, and others. As discussed generally above, at least some of these head and neck protections have been combined with coats and jackets.
- In addition to separate apparel, in some designs, outerwear may include combinations of protective elements in an integrated design. For example, some coats, jackets, sweaters, include a hood that is integrally formed or is removable. This allows the user to cover the head and neck when exposed to the elements and lower (or remove) the hood when not needed.
- In addition to the face and head, protection of the neck is also a desired objective in cool and cold weather garments. For example, scarves are traditionally worn to protect the neck of a wearer during cool or cold weather. The combination of a scarf with a jacket has proven effective in creating a wind barrier for protecting the entire upper torso of a user and to maintain body heat within the combination.
- In this same regard, circular knitted fabric collars, commonly known as “turtleneck” collars have been used in other apparel for similar purposes. In essence, the collar comprises a tube formed of porous stretchable knitted fabric connected to a primary garment which covers the torso of the wearer. Not withstanding the collar's stylistic desirability, the turtleneck, similar to the scarf, provides a barrier to prevent wind and other elements from the neck and torso of the user.
- However, current apparel designs require wearing combinations of multiple cool and cold weather protection since one garment alone may not be comfortably worn or provide the desired protection needed in a range of temperatures. Depending on the circumstances, users may combine face masks, hooded garments, scarves, turtleneck shirts, long underwear and other garments in combination as a defense against the elements. This is both inconvenient and expensive.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,269,491 (Paul Snyder), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses a sports sweater which may be worn under a coat and has a collar which stands up and fits snugly about the neck.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,302,710 (Thomas, et al.), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses a garment for protecting the head and neck of a user including a garment body with a neck opening. A hood attached to the garment body. A stretchable tubular knitted collar, attached to the garment body approximate to the neck opening of the garment body and inside at least a portion of the hood.
- Even with these improvements, a need exists for an improved hooded garment.
- Thus a need exists for a hooded garment that has features that protect the neck area as desired by a user or wearer.
- This invention overcomes the problems of the prior art. The invention provides a hooded garment that has a retractable hood and an integrated stretchable tubular collar or a turtle neck having a zipper.
- The invention is a novel hooded garment.
- Therefore, one purpose of this invention is to provide a novel hooded garment that has a retractable hood and an integrated stretchable tubular collar or a turtle neck having a zipper.
- Another purpose of this invention is to provide a hooded garment that has a retractable hood and an integrated stretchable tubular collar or a turtle neck having a zipper and has at least one sleeve or pouch or pocket for contents.
- Yet another purpose of this invention is to have a hooded garment that has a retractable hood and an integrated stretchable tubular collar or a turtle neck having a zipper where the zipper extends from a first position to a second position along the front of the hooded garment.
- Still, yet another purpose of this invention is to have a hooded garment that has a retractable hood and an integrated stretchable tubular collar or a turtle neck having a zipper, where a pocket or pouch is provided along a portion of the inside of the hooded garment.
- Yet another purpose of this invention is to provide a hooded garment that has a retractable hood and an integrated stretchable tubular collar or a turtle neck having a zipper, where at least one pouch or pocket is provided along at least one sleeve of the hooded garment.
- Therefore, in one aspect this invention comprises a garment, comprising:
- (a) a garment body having a neck opening and sleeves;
- (b) a retractable hood attached by stitching to said garment body;
- (c) a stretchable tubular collar having a continuous enclosed surface for engaging the neck of a wearer and a bottom edge attached to the garment body along a substantial portion of the circumference of the bottom edge, said tubular collar having a sufficient height to cover at least a portion of a wearer's neck in a first position and to cover at least a portion of a wearer's neck in a second position; and
- (d) wherein said stretchable tubular collar has at least one zipper extending along a vertical path from a first position to a second position, so that said stretchable tubular collar is in an first position when said zipper is in a first position, and said stretchable tubular collar is in a second position when said zipper is in a second position, and wherein said first position of said zipper is different than said second position of said zipper.
- In another aspect this invention comprises a hooded sweatshirt, comprising:
- (a) a garment body having a neck opening and sleeves;
- (b) a retractable hood, adapted to be worn over a user's head, attached by stitching to the garment body;
- (c) a stretchable tubular collar having a continuous enclosed surface for engaging the neck of a wearer and a bottom edge attached to the garment body along a substantial portion of the circumference of the bottom edge, said tubular collar having a sufficient height to cover at least a portion of a wearer's neck in a first position and to cover at least a portion of a wearer's neck in a second position; and
- (d) wherein said stretchable tubular collar has at least one zipper extending along a vertical path from a first position to a second position, so that said stretchable tubular collar is in an first position when said zipper is in a first position, and said stretchable tubular collar is in a second position when said zipper is in a second position, and wherein said first position of said zipper is different than said second position of said zipper.

retractable hood 18, preferably includes at least onedrawstring 26, which is routed through at least one sleeve or passage or channel along the periphery of the face opening of thehood 18. The wearer may reduce the effective size of the face opening of thehood 18, by merely pulling thedrawstring 26, and closing the frontal opening of theretractable hood 18. This reduction of the frontal opening of theretractable hood 18, provides a greater form of protection to the wearer. - In an exemplary embodiment, the
garment 23, also includes a stretchabletubular collar 20, having anintegrated zipper 22. The stretchabletubular collar 20, can be formed of a circular knitted fabric that may be the same fabric used to form thehood 18, and/orbody portion 11, and/orlong sleeves 12. It is also possible for thetubular collar 20, to be of a different fabric or material. For example, thetubular collar 20, could be formed of a material having a softer feel than the remainder of thegarment 23. An important feature of the stretchabletubular collar 20, is that it possesses sufficient elasticity to snugly, but not uncomfortably, fit about the neck (and/or face) of the wearer, especially, when it is in its full extended position. Another important feature of the stretchabletubular collar 20, is that it has at least onezipper 22, that originates at afirst position 29, such as, from the bottom portion or edge of thetubular collar 20, and terminates at a second position, such as, the upper portion or edge of thetubular collar 20. - Once created, the
retractable hood 18, and thetubular collar 20, are positioned about the entire neck opening and sewn in place such that thezip portion 22, of thetubular collar 20, faces the frontal opening of theretractable hood 18. As shown inFIG. 1 , a portion of theretractable hood 18, about the neck opening overlaps withtubular collar 20, such that a V-shapedopening 19, in thebody portion 11, overlaps and covers theend portion 29, of thetubular collar 20, and thezipper 22. It is preferred that the stretchabletubular collar 20, is attached to at least a portion of thegarment body 11, around the neck opening area and inside at least a portion of theretractable hood 18, such that the upper portion of thehooded garment 10, has only one neck opening for the passage of wearer's head, face and neck. - This invention allows the wearer to cover their head and neck but still see through a face opening or to open the front portion of the
tubular collar 20, or any other similar combination. Theretractable hood 18, is dimensioned such that the wearer may place thehood 18, on their head, and completely extend thetubular collar 20, around the neck and a portion of the face, and it would still not interfere with the ability of the user to clearly see through the face opening in theretractable hood 18. - The
tubular collar 20, is dimensioned to extend between a retracted position and an extended position. This retraction and extension of thetubular collar 20, can be done with thezip portion 22, either in the open or close position. As shown inFIG. 1 , thetubular collar 20, is in an extended position below the face of a wearer and about the wearer's neck. The combination of having theretractable hood 18, in an up position with thetubular collar 20, in a extended position, protects the wearer's head and neck, while leaving the face of the wearer exposed. - A person skilled in the art can fully appreciate that the retractable
tubular collar 20, and theretractable hood 18, may be used in various combinations to expand the acceptable range of usage for theinventive garment 23. - The
body portion 11, of thehooded garment 10, could optionally have a central pocket orsleeve 25, havingopenings garment 10, for placing of contents, such as, for example, hands. -
