FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present application relates generally to ballistic resistant garments and more specifically to ballistic resistant member carrier for use to be worn under clothing. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a garment which includes a shirt and a ballistic resistant member carrier attached to the shirt. [0003] The present invention relates to a garment which includes a shirt and ballistic resistant member carrier attached to the shirt, wherein the carrier comprises an enclosure for receiving and carrying a ballistic resistant member. [0004] The present invention also relates to a method for making a garment comprising the steps of providing a ballistic resistant member carrier and attaching the ballistic resistant member carrier to an interior portion of a garment adapted to be worn on a torso of a wearer. [0005] These and other features will become apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanied drawings and the claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0006] FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of the garment of the present invention shown on a user's torso with the shirt of the garment shown in phantom; [0007] FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1; [0008] FIG. 3 is a top fold out view of the ballistic resistant member carrier of FIG. 1 (fastening straps not shown); [0009] FIG. 4 is a partial fold out view of the ballistic resistant member carrier of FIG. 1 with fastening straps shown exploded; [0010] FIG. 5 is a top view of the ballistic resistant member carrier of FIG. 1 after assembly (fastening straps not shown); [0011] FIG. 6 is a front view of the garment of FIG. 1 shown with the shirt separated from the ballistic resistant member carrier; [0012] FIG. 7 is an enlarged top partial perspective view of the ballistic resistant member carrier of FIG. 1 showing one shoulder region with the member carrier shown and the shirt shown inside out; [0013] FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view taken along line 8--8 of FIG. 7; [0014] FIG. 9 is a front view of the garment of FIG. 1 with the shirt shown in phantom; [0015] FIG. 10 is side view of the garment of FIG. 1 with the shirt shown in phantom; [0016] FIG. 11 is rear view of the garment of FIG. 1 with the shirt shown in phantom; and [0017] FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the ballistic resistant member carrier of FIG. 1 shown with a ballistic resistant member partially inserted therein. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0018] Referring to FIG. 1, garment 100, in one example, comprises ballistic resistant member carrier 102, which is attached to shirt 103. In FIG. 1, shirt 103 is shown in phantom. However, shirt 103 provides the ability to conceal ballistic resistant member carrier 102 from the eyes of an observer. Shirt 103, since it is utilized to help conceal, can be of any number of conventional garments. In the present embodiment shown, shirt 103 is constructed as a T-shirt. [0019] In general, ballistic resistant member carrier 102 is adapted to receive and carry a ballistic resistant member. Ballistic resistant member carrier 102, in one example, is made of a water resistant vapor permeable material such as GORE-TEX.RTM.. Alternatively, ballistic resistant member carrier 102 could comprise any material with sufficient strength to carry ballistic resistant members. [0020] In one embodiment, ballistic resistant member carrier 102 comprises a front portion 104, a rear portion 106 and fastening devices 108, which are located at each side of carrier 102. Front portion 104 and rear portion 106, in one example, are adapted to cover at least a portion of the user's torso. In one embodiment, front portion 104 and rear portion 106 cover both a front and rear side of a user's torso. In another example, either front portion 104 or rear portion 106 individually covers at least one of the front or rear sides of the user's torso. In a further example, a ballistic resistant member carrier 102 may comprise only front portion 104 or only rear portion 106. Therefore, whichever portion is included would at least partially cover at least one of a front or rear side of the user's torso. Continue reading...
