Item of clothing, especially work clothing

The invention relates to an item of clothing, in particular an item of work clothing, which is provided with an additional feature.

The invention is generally about clothing. However, the special area of application is work clothing. The problem with today's work clothing is that it is quite monotonous, i.e. without any fashionable flair. The difficulty is, of course, that work clothing gets dirty relatively easily. Special features, for example made of leather, are difficult or impossible to clean, so that such features are simply left out for the sake of simplicity in order to avoid the difficult cleaning problem. However, with "normal" clothing it is usual to provide it with additional features, for example made of leather or other sensitive materials.

Based on this, the invention is based on the object of creating an item of clothing, in particular an item of work clothing, which is provided with an additional part of equipment that is sensitive to cleaning, whereby the item of clothing can nevertheless be cleaned easily.

As a technical solution, it is proposed that the additional equipment part be detachably attached to the item of clothing.

This creates an item of clothing, in particular a work item, which is fashionable thanks to the additional fittings, for example made of leather, and which can nevertheless be easily cleaned, which is of course particularly necessary if the item of clothing is a work item that gets dirty easily and therefore needs to be cleaned frequently. The basic idea is to arrange the sensitive additional fittings detachably on the actual item of clothing, so that the sensitive additional fittings are first removed before cleaning and not taken to the dry cleaners, so that only the item of clothing that is easy to clean in itself is cleaned without damaging the additional fitting. The "detachable attachment" means that the additional fitting can be quickly and easily removed via a detachable connection and then reattached. The attachment elements should be reusable. The additional fittings should therefore not be sewn on, which would be too complicated and not practical anyway. A further advantage of the detachable attachment of the additional fittings is that different items of clothing can be equipped with different fittings, so that the system according to the invention offers a wide range of variations in that the most diverse combinations can be created, whereby a new appearance is always created with the respective item of clothing and fittings combination.

A further development of the article of clothing according to the invention proposes that the additional equipment part consists of a different material, in particular one that is more sensitive to cleaning, than the material of the actual article of clothing, in particular leather, velvet, velour, etc.

A further development suggests that the additional trimmings are borders, in particular collar borders, button placket borders, collars, pockets, epaulettes, cuffs, facings, etc. The list of additional trimmings is purely exemplary, i.e. the attachment of a wide variety of additional trimmings is conceivable.

A further development suggests that the additional equipment part can be attached to the actual item of clothing using buttons, snap fasteners or a Velcro fastener. Snap fasteners are preferably used to attach the additional equipment part to the actual item of clothing, as these are the easiest to handle. In addition, the attachment of snap fasteners does not require any direct support.

The metal parts are attached to the body. However, all types of fastening ensure that the additional equipment is held securely to the actual garment. In addition, the additional equipment can be removed and reattached quickly and safely.

Finally, in a further development it is proposed that the additional fitting part is arranged in the fastening area so as to overlap the actual item of clothing and that the fastening elements are arranged in a concealed manner in this overlapping area. This has the advantage that it is not visible from the outside that the additional fitting parts are arranged as separate parts that can be detached from the actual item of clothing, so that the observer thinks that the additional fitting parts are sewn on in the conventional way.

An embodiment of an article of clothing according to the invention with detachably attached additional design parts is described below with reference to the drawings. These show:

Fig.1 is a view of an article of clothing in the form of a jacket;

Fig.2 is a section along the line H-II in Fig. 1;

Fig.3 is a section along the line IH-III in Fig. 1;

Fig. 1 shows an item of clothing 1 in the form of a jacket made of an easy-to-clean, in particular washable, material. This item of clothing 1 has various additional fittings 2, namely a collar border 2', a front button strip border 2", pockets 2'" and cuffs 2"". These fittings 2 are all made of a more sensitive material, for example leather, than the actual item of clothing 1.

The basic idea of the additional fittings 2 is that they are attached to the actual item of clothing 1 in a quick and detachable manner. This will first be explained using the collar trim 2' as shown in Fig. 2:

The collar border 2' is a strip-shaped leather part. This has one element of a snap fastener 3 on the underside, whereby of course several snap fasteners 3 are arranged along the length of the collar border 2'. Correspondingly, the top side has

of the item of clothing 1 in the area where the collar trim 2' is to be attached, the counterpart of the snap fastener 3 so that the collar trim 2' can be easily clipped onto the collar area of the item of clothing 1. Of course, it is also conceivable to attach the collar trim 2 ¹ to the underside of the item of clothing 1 in the collar area. So that the collar trim 2' is visible, it then protrudes beyond the boundary edge of the item of clothing 1 in the collar area.

According to the same basic principle, the button strip border 2" is attached to the item of clothing 1, also using snap fasteners 3. In addition, however, the button strip border 2" has additional snap fasteners 4 so that the jacket can be closed accordingly. Of course, normal buttons (or even a zipper, etc.) can be used instead of snap fasteners 4.

If, for example, the item of clothing 1 is to be washed but the accessories 2 cannot be washed with it because they are made of leather, for example, and are therefore too delicate to be washed, the accessories 2 are simply removed and not washed. After the item of clothing 1 has been washed, the accessories 2 are then reattached to the item of clothing 1. It goes without saying that the pockets 2'" and cuffs 2"" shown are attached to the item of clothing 1 using the same basic principle. In addition, other accessories can be attached to the item of clothing 1. The basic idea is always to be able to quickly remove the additional accessories 2 and then reattach them.
