A system for securing gloves, mittens, hats, goggles, and other small items to the chest area of a coat, jacket, vest or shirt, or to a thigh-pocket area of pants by the use of magnets and garment clips. A magnet is disclosed and comprises a first magnet for positioning exterior on the exterior face of the chest area on a jacket, vest, coat, or shirt, or on the thigh area of pants, the second magnet being for positioning interior on the interior face of said garment, the second magnet being magnetically attracted to the first magnet. A garment clip, also known as a suspender, pacifier, or mitten clip, is disclosed and positioned and clipped on the item needing to be retained. A method includes positioning the first magnet adjacent to the exterior face of the garment, positioning the second magnet adjacent to the interior face at a location that is substantially opposite of the first magnet such that magnetic attraction pulls the first and second magnets toward each other on the opposite wall faces, and moving the garment clip now fastened to the item (such as a glove, mitten, hat, etc.) to the location of the first magnet, and bringing the item into contact with the first magnet such that the item is magnetically attracted to it, whereby the item is retained without straps, lariats, elastic, buckles, velcro, or snaps. |
