Abstract: A device for carrying a coat about the person, without wearing the coat, comprises an open-ended tube made of thin foldable material, and a link at each end of the tube, to enable the tube containing a coat, to be carried using a belt or strap. The coat is snugly received within the tube arranged such that the coat lies lengthways within the tube, with the collar end of the coat towards one end of the tube, and the lower edge of the coat towards the other end of the tube. A drawstring may also be provided at one or both ends of the tube. The tube may be integral with the back panel of the coat, wherein the material that makes up the tube, which may be the back panel of the coat itself, is initially laid flat, and when it is required to carry the coat, the coat is turned inside-out, rolled into a tube and fastened.
