Abstract

The two sections are permanently joined along shoulder seams around the neck, outer arms and cuff regions, so that the garment is completely in place when put over an individual's head. A suitable type of releasable attachment (e.g., zipper, hook-and-loop, snaps, and the like) is used secure the sleeves in place and join the front and back sections along the side seams.
