Abstract

An outer garment is disclosed that keeps users warm at sporting events or other outdoor events. The outer garment comprises a main garment body having a length sufficient to extend down and substantially cover a torso of a user; an opening at the top of the main garment body for a user's head; and a continuous opening at both opposing side edges for receiving the arms of the user. Furthermore, the outer garment besides being worn by a user, can also be used as a blanket or throw. Typically, the main garment body is comprised of a front layer and a back layer that are tied together without sewing. The main garment body further comprises a hood removably secured to the opening. Additionally, the continuous opening at each opposing side edge is oversized, such that a user can wear the outer garment over long-sleeved clothing without restricting movement.
