Abstract: A heat adhesive tape comprising a tape main body of heat-resistant woven or knitted fabric and a heat adhesive thread of thermoplastic resin provided at each side of the main body on one surface thereof. To form a finished hem on trousers, skirts or the like, the tape is placed on the main body of the hem portion and on a folded-back portion of the hem portion and then heat-pressed as by ironing. The heat adhesive thread is woven or knitted into the main body zigzag in a staggered or wavy form or in the form of a series of turns and is thereby made almost free of shrinkage longitudinally of the tape when heat-pressed. A thermoplastic resin thread meltable at a lower temperature than the adhesive thread and fastening the thread to the main body at its furrow portions melts before the adhesive thread during heat pressing so as not to permit the adhesive thread to exert a shrinkage force on the main body also widthwise thereof when the tape is heat-pressed.

Abstract: A sleeve and mitten combination for jackets or similar outerwear, chiefly for children, comprises a sleeve formation terminating in a tubular mitten-formation which comprises an extension of the sleeve formation. A slide fastener extends across the outer end of the tubular mitten-formation and when the fastener is closed the wearer's hand is fully enclosed. When the fastener is opened, the mitten-formation may be turned back upon the sleeve formation to form a cuff and more or less fully expose the wearer's hand.

Abstract: A one-piece body suit of insulated construction with enlarged upper sleeve segments which permit retraction of the wearer's arm to a position alongside the upper torso preparatory to hand extension out openings located along the length of the sleeve. Hand covers are integral with lower sleeve segments and include an elastomeric coating over individual finger sheaths. Each sleeve includes Velcro closure pieces serving to retain the vacated lower sleeve segment in a folded back position alongside the upper sleeve segment.

Abstract: The present invention presents a manner of construction of a child's garment in which the material at the hem or cuff is turned up twice, stitched permanently along the lower edge and stitched with a removable stitching along the upper edge so that the removable stitching can be severed and the leg of the garment lengthened as the child grows.

Abstract: A disposable garment for hunters useful for field dressing out and skinning of large animals, such as deer and elk. The garment is formed of a transparent, waterproof material, and has gloves integrally connected to the ends of the sleeves. The gloves each have at least two fingers which the hunter may insert between the hide and the carcass of the animal to form an opening for inserting a hunting knife to slice the animal's hide.

Abstract: An extensible length sleeve which may be lengthened by the wearer utilizes a pair of seams to attach the sleeve cuff to the lower end of the sleeve. One of the seams is selectively removable to allow an underlying pleat in the sleeve fabric to be released, thus allowing the length of the sleeve to be extended. The attaching seams are hidden from view by sleeve fabric both before and after lengthening, so that the appearance of the sleeve is not altered by the lengthening.

Abstract: Convertible trousers including a body portion configured to be placed on the lower half of a human torso in a conventional manner, a pair of leg portions for accommodating therein a pair of human legs, the leg portions each comprising a plurality of flexible interchangeable tubular elements, and means for selectively removeably securing the flexible interchangeable tubular elements coextensively together. The tubular elements may be joined to the body portion in various configurations to produce a garment of a variable length which may be altered to present several different visual appearances.

Abstract: An adjustable pant leg system includes a pair of trouser legs having a row of synthetic hook and loop material affixed to an inner surface at the bottom edge portion of the trouser legs. A plurality of rows of synthetic hook and loop material is also spaced equally on the inside of the trouser legs along a bottom portion of its length. The synthetic hook and loop material affixed at the edge portion is folded inwardly and upwardly along the length on the inside of the trouser legs for engagement with one of the plurality of rows of synthetic hook and loop material to form the legs of a desired length.

Abstract: This garment apparatus, intended primarily for conventional hemmed garments, provides very rapid, easily reversible, garment length adjustments. A set of fasteners, each fastener comprising a lower member attached adjacent the garment hem and at least one upper member spaced above the lower member and attached to the garment interior, is provided. For shortening the garment length, the garment is rolled inward and upward to the desired group of upper members, and the upper members are secured one to another. Decorative reinforcing elements can optionally be attached to the garment exterior.

Abstract: An inter-inner-and-outer-clothing overall garment comprising a layer of air permeable cloth treated with oleophobic compound to render a designated outer surface thereof liquid repellant and having activated charcoal approximate a designated inner surface thereof, the garment being the product of a manufacturing process in which only a small number of sizes of said garment are made, the garment having limb members long enough to cover the limbs of the longest limbed subject for that size of garment.

Abstract: A device adapted to be attached to and between a woman's skirt and slip adjacent lower edges thereof at spaced locations to prevent the slip from being displaced upwardly while being worn. The device is constructed of a strip of material having opposite surface portions, with adhesive means applied to the opposite surface portions, whereby one surface portion can be attached by the adhesive means to the slip and the other surface portion can be attached by the adhesive means to the skirt. Cover means is provided over the adhesive means to prevent unwanted contact with the adhesive means prior to use, with the cover means being provided with gripping portions to permit easy removal of the cover means when desired.
