ABSTRACT:
A lined upper body clothing article, such as a jacket, that includes a carrying article, such as a tote bag, concealed between the rear panel of the jacket shell and the rear panel of the jacket lining. One wall of the carrying article is sewn or zippered to the lining, but the shell of the jacket is not attached to the carrying article. The mouth of the carrying article is located at a zippered seam between the bottom of the rear panel of the jacket shell and the bottom of the rear panel of the jacket lining. At this zippered seam, the carrying article may be opened and the bottom of the rear panel of the jacket shell separated from the bottom of the rear panel of the jacket lining. The carrying article is configured inside-out when the jacket is in the as-worn position. Accordingly, when the zipper is opened, the jacket can be easily folded into the carrying article as the carrying article is turned from inside-out to outside-out. After the jacket is folded into the carrying article, snaps positioned in a concealed seam along the bottom of the jacket shell may be closed to separate the folded jacket from the open area of the carrying article, which may be used to carry other articles. The lining may be removable from the jacket shell, and the carrying article may be removable from the lining.
