ABSTRACT:
A convertible garment is provided which can be worn either as a sleeved jacket, such as a parka, or as a sleeveless vest. The garment of the invention has fully attached sleeves, and it includes a linear zipper, or equivalent straight-line closure device, extending along the outside of each sleeve from the shoulder seam of the sleeve to a point just above the elbow. The zipper is long enough so that when opened, a hole is produced in each sleeve which corresponds in size with the arm holes in the jacket itself. When the garment is to be converted from a jacket to a vest, the zippers are pulled open and the sleeves are turned inside-out deploying them into the interior of the garment. The wearer then puts his arms through the holes in the sleeves, and the garment is worn as a vest.
