ABSTRACT:
A storage pouch is formed integrally with an outerwear garment such as a pair of shorts, such as by sewing a semi-circular piece of fabric on a front or back, interior or exterior surface of the outerwear garment. For storage pouches formed on an exterior surface of the outerwear garment, a slit is provided in the storage pouch and the slit is closed off by a zipper or a hook-and-loop type fastening device. For storage pouches formed on an interior surface of the outerwear garment, a slit is provided in the outerwear garment itself, and the slit is closed off by a zipper or a hook-and-loop type fastening device. The storage pouch can be formed of the same material (e.g., color, pattern, fabric) as the outerwear garment, thereby substantially camouflaging the storage pouch. The zipper can be covered by a flap of material extending from above the slit, to more fully camouflage the existence of the storage pouch. The storage pouch may have a V-shaped bottom, or may have a box-type bottom. Forming a storage pouch integrally with an outerwear garment is relatively advantageous (over using a separate and distinct storage pouch) since the integral storage pouch can be color and design coordinated with the material of the shorts; the integral storage pouch cannot be misplaced or lost, or unlatched (removed) by vandals; the integral storage pouch will not sag, and will not require re-adjustment; and the integral pouch will not catch on other, extraneous objects such as doorknobs.
