20110047676 | Add A Patch - A removable patch that is capable of attachment to an article of clothing. The patch has a section of material with an inner surface that, when the clothing having the patch attached is worn, confronts the wearer's skin or undergarments. A fastener is, preferably, attached to the outer surface of the section of material. The fastener allows the patch to be attached to the inside surface of an article of clothing having an irregularly shaped opening, such as a tear or rip. When the patch is attached, it covers the opening from the inside of the clothing, so that, to people observing the wearer of the article of clothing, the section of material is visible through the irregularly shaped opening in the article of clothing. The patch is intended as a fashion statement. | 03-03-2011 |
