ABSTRACT:
A garment, such as a coat, shirt, or jacket, for a firefighter, a rescue worker, a forestry worker, or another worker having to carry a rope has a back portion and two front portions, each front portion extending from the back portion at one side of the garment. A back pocket extending at least substantially across the back portion, between the sides of the garment, is adapted to carry a rope placed in a zigzag pattern. A front pocket extending at least partially across one of the front portions of the garment communicates with the back pocket, through a slit in the garment, so that a rope carried within the back pocket is removable through the slit and through the front pocket. A front flap overlies the front pocket and the slit. The back pocket is accessible from the interior of the garment and the front pocket is accessible from the exterior of the garment. A strip coacting with the back portion to define the back pocket has an upper edge and a lower edge. The lower edge is affixed to the back portion of the garment, at least substantially across the back portion of the garment, and the upper edge is fastened removably to the back portion of the garment via a hook-and-loop fastener extending at least substantially across the back portion of the garment. A liner of the garment is displaceable to permit access to the back pocket. In an alternative embodiment, which is similar otherwise, the back pocket is an exterior pocket.
