particularly burdensome and tiring when the environment is very warm or when the coat is wet from inclement weather and when the wearer has other items to carry.
Many coats are provided with a loop means, often inside of the collar, for hanging the coat, but no means for aiding in carrying the coat. If carried by the loop the weight of the coat cuts the loop into the fingers and the coat would likely be draped over the shoulder of the wearer.
3. Disclosure of Invention
Combining a double belt retained by belt loops on a coat with a securing means positioned elsewhere on the coat to receive two ends of the belt, enables the folding of the coat into a contained bundle secured by one belt and conveniently transportedusing loops formed by the other two secured belt ends as carrying straps.
A double belt forms a tieing means around the coat and a double strap carrying means by securing the two ends of the second belt over the top of the coat securing the belt ends to fastening means on the other side of the coat, thereby creating a double loop which may be hooked over the two arms of the wearer to carry the coat as one would carry a backpack. Alternately, one arm may be inserted through the strap and the coat carried over the arm or one hand may grasp the straps and the coat carried as one would carry a brief case.
A single belt with two partial belts may be used by attaching
