Concealed State Garments, also known as cover garments, are a type of clothing designed to conceal the act of carrying a device, hidden from plain view, or to hide bulges and/or creases that would reveal the presence of the devise hidden.[1] These designs differ from tactical clothing in that they are not designed for official use, but for casual use in environments which require discretion.[2][3]
Design
[edit]Concealed state garments are comprised of a layer of material, which is attached to the first layer to form an enclosed space.[4] The enclosed space is designed to coincide with the hip joint of the wearer of the garment, and a second fold corresponding to the thigh. The result is a design which substantially conceals an object stored in the fold.[5]
Patents
[edit]The design was invented by Jay French, and includes six U.S. patents. They are US 8,307,465, US 8,484,765, US 8,522,367, US 8,839,464, US 8,856,970, D997,549 and TM 4,190,005.[6]
