Specialized clothing capable of securing electronic devices

Abstract

The present invention comprises a novel class of clothing which may be worn as described herein. The various embodiments of such clothing share the common attribute that a pocket for accepting various devices or other items is sewn or otherwise embodied within the article of clothing. The clothing is easily manufactured and the pockets may be deployed in various configurations to accept and retain a wide variety of devices and other objects. Further, the pockets are designed to provide a secure and snug fit around the device to lessen movement during various activities such as exercising. The pockets may also contain a specially configured tab for accepting and routing wires and cords associated with, for example, electronic devices for playing music.
