ABSTRACT:
A garment selectively convertible between several different fashions, such as an ascot, a face and neck mask, and a visor, includes a body or bib portion having a protruding distal edge and opposing side edges. The garment further includes a nose portion having a proximate edge opposite the distal edge, and a breathing vent portion of a foraminous fabric interconnecting the body and nose portions. Two opposing side straps extend outwardly from each of the side edges to secure the garment on a wearer. The side straps may each have a mating portion of a VELCRO hook and eye fabric fastener means attached thereto for releasably interconnecting the straps to secure the garment on a wearer and to provide incremental size adjustment of the garment. Alternatively, the side straps may be permanently interconnected by an elastic insert for resiliently securing the garment on a wearer. The body, nose and strap portions of the garment are preferably formed by inner and outer layers of fabric, with the outer layer being of a water repellant or weather resistant fabric, and the inner layer being a soft fabric, such as a cotton fleece. A method is also provided of converting such a garment between uses as an ascot, a face mask, and a visor.
