The present invention relates generally to the field of coverall garment devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a coverall garment that can be adjusted to accommodate shorts, pants, short sleeves, or long sleeves. Accordingly, the present disclosure makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices, and methods of manufacture.
By way of background, this invention relates to improvements in coverall garment devices. Generally, individuals that work or travel in volatile environments with temperature changes throughout the day are often required to change outfits to accommodate the temperature variances. For example, a person could wear a long sleeve coverall garment because it is cold in the morning, but in the afternoon they can become overheated when the temperature rises throughout the day. A similar problem arises if the temperature then decreases in the evening. Constantly changing clothes throughout the day can be very frustrating, and traditional jumpsuits or coverall garments can make it cumbersome to use the restroom.
Accordingly, there is a demand for an improved all-in-one coverall device that can be adjusted according to variances in temperature or user preferences. More particularly, there is a demand for an all-in-one coverall device that features removably attachable pieces.
Therefore, there exists a long felt need in the art for an all-in-one coverall or overall device that provides users with coveralls that can be adjusted to accommodate shorts, pants, short sleeves, or long sleeves. There is also a long felt need in the art for an all-in-one coverall or overall device that features multiple zippers that can attach or detach different areas of the garment to create the weather appropriate outfit. Further, there is a long felt need in the art for an all-in-one coverall device that includes an elastic drawstring waistband to adjust the pants or shorts to a comfortable size. Finally, there is a long felt need in the art for an all-in-one coverall device that enables users to customize the look, feel, and weather responsiveness of their coveralls throughout the day with case and convenience.
The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises an all-in-one coverall device. The device is a coverall or overall garment that features multiple zippers that can attach or detach different areas of the garment to create the perfect outfit. The all-in-one coverall device comprises an upper body component, long sleeve components, a lower body component, and long pant components. The upper body component covers the torso and upper arms of the user and is generally styled in the fashion of a traditional cargo shirt, featuring multiple pockets, a collar, and a vertical zipper in the form the neck to groin area. The upper body component also features an alternative horizontal zipper that enables for removable attachment of the lower body component, and horizontal zippers at each elbow. The lower body component covers the thigh area of the users down to the knee and is generally styled in the fashion of traditional cargo shorts, featuring multiple pockets and a vertical zipper in the front over the groin area. The lower body component also comprises a drawstring elastic waist that enables a user to adjust the fit of the garment around their waist. Further, the lower body component features the corresponding half of the horizontal zipper of the upper body component, as well as horizontal zippers at each knee. The long sleeve and long pant components feature horizontal zippers that correspond with the upper body component and lower body component at the elbows and knees, respectively. All zippers throughout the garment are covered by fabric flaps to conceal each zipper until it is in use. Accordingly, the device enables users to customize the look and feel of their coveralls throughout the day with ease.
In this manner, the all-in-one coverall or overall device of the present invention accomplishes all of the forgoing objectives and provides users with a device that enables for easy outfit modification throughout the day to suit the desires of the user. The device is a garment worn by a user. The device has an elastic drawstring waist.
