ABSTRACT:
An article of clothing adapted to be worn by a person has an odor absorbing substance incorporated therein. The odor absorbing substance absorbs odors emitting from that portion of the person which is substantially surrounded by the clothing. Reduction of odors emitting from a person wearing the article of clothing will help to avoid detection of the wearer of the article of clothing by many species of wildlife having an acute sense of smell.
