Coat tote system and method

Abstract

A coat tote system provides users with an attachable strap which, when slung across the chest, allows for hands-free carrying of a clothing garment when it is not worn. The device features small holes or slits on the ends, enabling the strap to be secured to a coat, jacket, or other garment via snaps, buttons, clasps, or other fastener mechanisms. It attaches to the back panel of a coat or jacket via the fastener mechanisms. The device allows users to transport clothing garments without having to stuff it inside a backpack, purse, etc. or having to carry the jacket in hand. As designed it offers a much simpler and more convenient method of transporting clothing garments.

         17 . A tote coat system comprising:
 a strap member defined by a body having
 a front side; 
 a back side; 
 a first end; 
 a second end; 
   a length; and
 a thickness; 
   at least one receiver-aperture; and   at least one garment-attached fastener;   
       wherein said length of said strap member is rectangular; 
       wherein said at least one receiver-aperture comprises a first receiver-aperture and a second receiver-aperture; 
       wherein said first receiver-aperture is located proximate said first end; 
       wherein said second receiver-aperture is located proximate said second end; 
       wherein the at least one garment-attached fastener comprises a first garment-attached fastener and a second garment-attached fastener; 
       wherein the first garment-attached fastener and said second garment-attached fastener are located inside said garment;
 wherein said strap member is removably attachable to a garment pre-use and is concealed, in-use, and post-use via said at least one garment-attached fastener connected to said garment, during said in-use said garment is hands-free toted; 
 
       wherein the strap member is oriented cross-body when used; and
