Concepts provided are directed to a multi-layer nursing bra and a nursing bra system to be worn by a wearer. The multi-layer nursing bra includes an outer layer positioned over an inner layer. One or more edges of the outer layer and one or more edges of the inner layer may be manipulated to form an opening for breast feeding. The nursing bra system is composed of the multi-layer nursing bra and an upper-body garment configured to be layered over the multi-layer nursing bra. The upper-body garment includes a nursing opening on a front portion of the upper-body garment to provide access to the opening created in the multi-layer nursing bra when needed.

Pants

Aspects herein are directed to a garment having a hood system comprising an outer hood and a yoke structure positioned adjacent and internal to the outer hood. The outer hood is affixed to a neckline opening of the garment along the sides of the neckline opening but is detached from the neckline opening in the back. The yoke structure is selectively attached to the outer hood in two or more disparate locations and is affixed to the neckline opening of the garment at the location at which the outer hood is detached from the neckline opening. The hood system is useable for distributing tension forces generated by pulling the front of the outer hood forward to, for example, cover a wearer's eyes when resting.

Hood system for a garment

Aspects herein disclose a sleeve construction for a garment comprising a right sleeve with a first pocket located superior to an elbow area of the sleeve. The pocket opening of the first pocket is positioned on an anterior aspect of the right sleeve and the pocket space extends across the anterior aspect of the right sleeve. The garment further comprises a left sleeve having a second pocket located superior to an elbow area of the left sleeve. The pocket opening of the second pocket is positioned on a medial aspect of the left sleeve and the pocket space extends across the posterior aspect of the left sleeve.

Sleeve construction for a garment

Aspects herein relate to a garment or article system having an internal layer and an external layer, the external layer has an inner surface facing the internal layer and an outer surface facing an external environment. Specifically, the garment or article system comprises a first slider mechanism affixed to the internal layer and a second slider mechanism affixed to the external layer. The first slider mechanism affixed to the internal layer is coupled to the second slider mechanism affixed to the external layer so that a pull or a directional force applied to the second slider mechanism is transferred to the first slider mechanism to reversibly transition the first slider mechanism from an open state in a first direction to a closed state in a second direction, and while maintaining the second slider mechanism in a closed state regardless of the direction of the directional force applied.
