Combination garment and spectacle holder

Abstract

A spectacle holder in combination with a garment. The spectacle holder has an elastic loop fastened to the first portion of the front side of the shirt. The elastic loop has an opening ¼″ to ⅜″ in width, is 1¼″ in length and is shaped to receive an arm of a pair of spectacles. The adjustable strap latch is sized and shaped to receive an arm of a pair of spectacles. A hook and loop fastener is provided to adjustably secure a pair of spectacles in the spectacle holder. The strap latch is spaced 2 inches to 3 inches from the elastic loop so that the hinge of the spectacle arm inserted through the elastic loop will rest against the top of the elastic loop and the strap latch will secure the arm in place in the spectacle holder. Alternate embodiments of the invention are also described and claimed.
