ABSTRACT:
A multi-functional garment includes a combination back-pack, a tote bag, and an article of clothing wherein a pack-pack portion is integrated with the back panel of the article of clothing. The garment is manipulated into its various functional configurations by inverting the back-pack/tote bag portion to reveal or, conversely, conceal the article of clothing. The back-pack/tote bag portion of the garment has a double flap closure to provide alternative closure options for the back-pack/tote bag. The back-pack/tote bag is an integral part of the back panel of the article of clothing and the rear webbing or wall of the back-pack/tote bag near the opening of the pack is topologically continuous, such that the back-pack/tote bag can be inverted to reveal or conceal the article of clothing and the pack shoulder straps are attached near the upper end and next to the opening of the back-pack/tote bag so that the garment can be reconfigured without having to thread the straps through the garment to use it as a back-pack alone or as a garment with the back-pack attached.
