The pockets of applicant's invention are designed to retain objects contained within the pockets during normal use. [0003]2. Discussion [0004]Workmen often need to have small tools, gadgets, and papers available to perform their assigned tasks. Until now, the only options available were work shirts, usually made of denim or other heavy fabric, or the use of some type of tool belt. Some heavy duty work shirts include two chest pockets, and the chest pockets sometimes include button-down flaps.

Moreover, the heavy duty work shirts are uncomfortable as compared to traditional short-sleeved t-shirts. [0005]Traditional short-sleeved t-shirts, while comfortable and lightweight, may or may not include a single chest pocket, but any chest pocket is not suitable for carrying the tools, gadgets, and papers normally used by workmen. [0006]The two chest pocket t-shirt of the present invention, made of ribbed polyester-cotton fabric, provides the comfort of a traditional short-sleeved t-shirt with two chest pockets suitable for carrying workmen's tools, gadgets, and papers.

Reinforced left and right chest pockets made from ribbed polyester-cotton fabric stretch to accommodate pocket contents but return to their original shape on removal of the pocket contents. The top edge of each chest pocket is further reinforced to permit limited stretching of the top edge and inhibit loss of pocket contents from the chest pocket. [0008]An object of the present invention is to provide a shirt having the comfort of a traditional short-sleeved t-shirt with chest pockets suitable for holding small tools, gadgets, and supplies commonly used by workmen. [0009]Another object of the present invention is to provide a t-shirt with chest pockets which stretch to accommodate pocket contents but return to their shape when the pocket contents are removed.
