Garment bag for kilt and accessories

Garment bag for kilt and accessories description/claims

The embodiments of the present invention relate to a garment bag designed to accommodate a kilt and related accessories.

Kilts have been in fashion for centuries and their origins have many tales. Regardless of the history, kilts continue to be worn at special occasions, including highland type games. For many of the occasions the kilts and associated accessories (e.g., belts, sporrans and shoes) must be stored for travel. Consequently, kilts and accessories, like other articles of clothing, are usually stored for travel in suitcases.

Unfortunately, suitcases are not ideal for kilts or the accessories because the kilts and accessories become badly wrinkled and otherwise disheveled. Therefore, in many cases, if time permits, they must be pressed before being worn. If time does not permit, they must be worn in the unappealing condition. As the kilts are worn primarily at special occasions, it is not suitable that they be wrinkled or otherwise disheveled.

Thus, there exists a need for an article of baggage (e.g., a garment bag) tailored to accommodate one or more kilt and corresponding accessories.

Accordingly, one embodiment of the present invention is a kilt garment bag comprising: a garment member defining an interior space; means for accessing the interior space; an opening near a top of said garment member for permitting one or more hanger hooks to pass therethrough; one or more sporran pouches, shoe pouches and belt loops integrated within said interior space and accessible when said interior space is accessed; and wherein the one or more sporran pouches, shoe pouches and belt loops are operable to maintain sporrans, shoes and belts, respectively, within the interior space.

Other variations, embodiments and features of the present invention will become evident from the following detailed description, drawings and claims.

FIG. 1 illustrates a Prince Charlie type kilt ensemble which can be stored for travel with the embodiments of the present invention;

FIG. 2 illustrates a front view of one embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 3 illustrates a rear view of one embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 4 illustrates a side view of one embodiment of the present invention; and

FIG. 5 illustrates an interior space of one embodiment of the present invention.

It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential character thereof. The presently disclosed embodiments are therefore considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive.
