Reversible jacket having multiple hoods
The present invention provides a reversible jacket that includes two independently functional flexible hoods that allow a person wearing the jacket to utilize one hood in one configuration of the jacket, and the other hood in a reversed configuration. A reversible jacket of the invention can find a variety of different applications, for example, it can be employed as a camouflage jacket in two different environments.
1. A reversible jacket, comprising
a flexible body having two opposed surfaces, each of said surfaces having a selected fabric pattern and each being capable of forming an outer surface of the jacket when worn, said surfaces being sewn together so as to form a pocket having an opening proximate to a wearer's head, and
two flexible hoods each coupled to at least a portion of a perimeter of said opening.
2. The reversible jacket of claim 1 , wherein each hood is capable of being folded into said pocket.
3. The reversible jacket of claim 1 , wherein each hood comprises an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the outer surface of each hood is formed of a fabric pattern corresponding to the fabric pattern of one of the opposed surfaces of the jacket.
4. The reversible jacket of claim 3 , wherein the inner surface of each hood exhibits a non-contrasting fabric pattern relative to the fabric pattern of the outer surface of that hood.
5. The reversible jacket of claim 1 , wherein said opposed surfaces of the flexible body of the jacket exhibit different fabric patterns.
6. The reversible jacket of claim 1 , wherein the fabric patterns of said opposed surfaces of the flexible body are selected for camouflage in two different environments.
7. The reversible jacket of claim 1 , wherein said opposed surfaces are formed of a water proof material.
8. The reversible jacket of claim 1 , wherein said flexible body comprises an inner layer sandwiched between said two opposed surfaces.
9. The reversible jacket of claim 1 , wherein said hood is wearable independently of the other hood.
