Abstract: A double belt or extra long single belt is secured around an article of clothing such as a coat. The garment is folded into a bundle and a first belt segment secured into a loop around the bundle. Two free belt ends are secured from the first belt segment and wrapped around the bundle and secured to attaching means on the upper portion of the garment to form carrying loops. Attaching means include buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, buckles and tieing. The bundle may receive other articles for carrying. The bundle may be carried as a backpack, over the arm or grasped by hand as a briefcase. Mating hook and loop fasteners applied to the sides of the garment secured the sides of the carrying bag. Alternately pairs of loops may be applied to the article of clothing on separate portions of the garment so that when the garment is folded larger loops may be inserted through smaller loops to secure the carrying bag and serve as carrying means.
