[MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The inner garment comprises a jacket-like body portion (11) made of a thin cloth, and a fur portion (12) fixed to the body portion (11) to extend from the collar to the bottom. The inner garment is worn under front opening outer garment (20, 30), and, when the fur portion (12) is exposed to the outside at a portion from the collar to the bottom of the outer garment (20, 30), the front opening outer garment (20, 30) can be decorated with the fur portion (12). |
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an inner garment and in particular, relates to an inner garment which is worn under an open-front outer garment (outer clothing) and makes the outer garment decorated like fur-trimmed outer clothing.
Background Art
[0002] For example, when attending a party or the like in winter, people sometimes go to a meeting place in a dress under a jacket or coat for cold weather and take off the jacket or coat before participating in an event. In such a case, if people do not have a dress, they need to have a new dress made and further if they have no coat or jacket for winter weather, they must also have them made, thus causing a lot of expenses. In addition, when making a trip abroad, for instance, because visiting places often have different seasons, they must arrange clothes for a different season to be suited to purpose or season, which increase clothes volume and thereby to make traveling quite troublesome.
Disclosure of the Invention
Problem to be solved by the Invention
[0003] In view of the foregoing problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide an inner garment which can utilize an existing outer garment as a luxurious costume depending upon season or place and provide an effect of use as cold weather clothing in a season having low temperature.
Means for solving problem
[0004] According to the present invention, an inner garment includes: an outer-clothing-like main body portion made of thin texture and a fur portion attached to the main body portion to extend between collars and bottoms, in which an open-front outer garment is made decorative with the fur portion by wearing the inner garment under the open-front outer garment and exposing the fur portion which extends between collars and bottoms of the outer garment for view. In the present invention, the outer-clothing-like main body portion may be the one formed into any of jumper-like, jacket-like and coat-like models. Additionally, an inner garment, when formed so as to be available as an outer garment, is convenient because the usage thereof can be further extended.
Effect of the Invention
[0005] The inner garment according to the present invention includes an outer-clothing-like main body portion made of thin texture and a fur portion attached to the main body portion to extend between collars and bottoms thereof. By wearing the inner garment under an open-front outer garment and exposing the fur portion that extends between collars and bottoms of the outer garment for view, the open-front outer garment is made decorative at the fur portion, making it possible to utilize an existing outer garment as a luxurious costume according to wearing time and place. Further, the inner garment, being worn overlapped with an outer garment, provides cold protection without any need of cold weather clothing, such as a coat, even in a season having a low temperature.
Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention
[0006] An embodiment of an inner garment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating one example of an inner garment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view illustrating one example of an outer garment under which an inner garment of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 1 is worn. FIG. 3 is a front view illustrating a coordinated state of an inner garment of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 1 with an outer garment illustrated in FIG. 2, in which the inner garment is worn under the outer garment. FIG. 4 is a front view of another outer garment under which an inner garment illustrated in FIG. 1 is worn. FIG. 5 is a front view illustrating a coordinated state of an inner garment of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 1 with an outer garment illustrated in FIG. 4.
[0007] In FIG. 1, the whole inner garment of the present invention is denoted by reference numeral 10. The inner garment 10 has an outer-clothing-like main body portion 11 and a fur portion 12.
[0008] The main body portion 11 is, for example, an open-front outer-clothing-like portion having a rear part, front parts and sleeves, and is formed by sewing thin texture, for example, a thin quilt texture including cotton. In FIG. 1, each of the front parts is denoted by reference numeral 11a, the sleeve is denoted by reference numeral 11b and the bottom is denoted by reference numeral 11c, respectively. The main body portion 11 illustrated in FIG. 1 is formed in a jacked-like shape. However, the main body portion 11 can be formed in any one of jumper-like, jacket-like and coat-like shapes.
[0009] The fur portion 12 is arranged in such a manner as to extend from the collar of the main body portion 11 to the whole circumference of the bottom through the edges of the front parts. Specifically, the fur portion 12 is attached to the main body portion 11 by sewing around the collar formed by upper edges of the front parts and the rear part, the edges of both of the two front parts facing to each other, and a continuous lower edge (bottom) of the front part and the rear part. The fur portion 12 uses the one made of natural animal fur, fake fur made from synthetic resin or the like.
[0010] For example, when one goes to a meeting place to attend a party, etc., the inner garment 10 of the present invention is worn together with, for instance, an open-front silk blouse 20 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The blouse 20 has a main body portion 21 including a rear part, right and left front parts, sleeves and collars and is formed, for example, so that the right and left opposing edges 23 of the front parts are hooked by means of male hooks attached to the rear surface of the opposing edge 21 of the one front part and female hooks attached to the front surface of the opposing edge of the other front part.
[0011] The inner garment 10 of the present invention can be changed to a luxurious costume with the silk blouse 20 decorated with fur, as illustrated in FIG. 3. This can be done by wearing the inner garment 10 first and then the silk blouse 20 thereon, and by exposing the fur portion 12 which extends between the collars and bottoms of the silk blouse 20 for view. Thus, the inner garment 10 of the present invention is worn under the outer garment (blouse 20) so as to overlap, which means to wear a layer of clothing. Therefore, the outer garment not for use in winter is available as an outer fur garment under a low-temperature condition like winter season, thereby extending an optional range of existing outer garments.
[0012] Even if a denim suit jacket 30 as illustrated in FIG. 4 is worn, for example, from early autumn, use of the inner garment of the present invention can change the jacket 30 illustrated in FIG. 4 into a fur jacket (or a fur short coat) for winter season, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
[0013] The jacket 30 includes right and left front parts, a rear part, sleeves and collars and is structured so that opposing edges 33 of the front parts are buttoned by means of buttons 34, in the same way as in the blouse 20 described above. Accordingly, by wearing the inner garment 10 of the present invention under the denim jacket 30 and exposing the fur portion 12 which extends between the collars and bottoms of the denim jacket 30 worn thereon for view, the inner garment 10 can be quickly changed into a luxurious denim jacket with fur. Specifically, the inner garment 10 can make an ordinary outer garment available as cold weather clothing in addition to make the garment decorated.
Industrial Applicability
[0014] As described above, the inner garment of the present invention allows an existing outer garment to be utilized as a luxurious and new dress and outer clothing in a style suited to a wearing time and place to be flexibly formed among existing outer garments and therefore a costume suited to a wearing place can be easily obtained. Furthermore, even when one makes a trip abroad and goes into a country in a different season, the inner garment of the present invention allows a few outer clothes to be changed into a plurality of types of outer clothes capable of being coordinated in various ways according to wearing time and place.
[0015] The inner garment of the present invention is also independently available as an outer garment.
