GARMENT HAVING ROPE-CARRYING POCKET

摘要

A garment (10), such as a coat, shirt, or jacket, for a firefighter, a rescue worker, a forestry worker, or another worker having to carry a rope has a back portion (16) and two front portions (18, 20), each front portion extending from the back portion at one side of the garment. A back pocket (60) extending at least substantially across the back portion (16), between the sides of the garment, is adapted to carry a rope (100) placed in a zigzag pattern. A front pocket (24, 26) extending at least partially across one of the front portions of the garment communicates with the back pocket, through a slit (62) in the garment, so that a rope carried within the back pocket (60) is removable through the slit and through the front pocket (24, 26). A front flap (32, 42) overlies the front pocket and the slit. The back pocket is accessible from the interior of the garment and the front pocket is accessible from the exterior of the garment.
