1. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to a garment, and more particularly to a clothing having a hood. The clothing has a detachable band for hanging the clothing or for fastening the hood.
2. Description of Related Art
Typically, a hoodie is a shirt having a hood. Man wearing the hoodie may put the hood on for shading sun or just for good looking.
However, most of the time, the hood is put down to hang on the back of the wearer. The hanging hood will swing freely when the wearer is walking, running, or doing exercise. The hood also may be move because of wind blow. The uncontrollable hood might put the wearer in danger if the swinging hood is hooked by an object while the wearer is moving.
The conventional hoodie is provided with a tag at the interior side and closing to the hood. That tag may make the hoodie be hung on a hook when it is taken off.
However, the space between the tag and the hoodie is fixed, so that it cannot be hung on a big hook. Besides, the tag may be fallen off because of the weight of the hoodie, or by an external force when the hoodie is hung on the hook.
In view of the above, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a clothing with a hood, which is provided with two detachable bands to fasten the hood and to hang the clothing on a hook.
In order to achieve the objective of the present invention, a clothing includes a main clothing section having an interior side and an exterior side opposite to the interior side, wherein the main clothing section is provided with a through hole, which is open at both the interior side and the exterior side; a hood connected to the main clothing section, wherein the through hole is close to the hood; a first band having an end connected to the exterior side of the main clothing section; a first coupler connected to a free end of the first band; a second band having an end connected to the interior side of the main clothing section; and a second coupler connected to a free end of the second band to detachably engage the first coupler. The second coupler is able to pass through the through hole to engage the first coupler, or go over the hood to engage the first coupler.
Whereby, the first and the second band could hang the clothing on a hook, or fasten the hood.
