Method, system, and/or device of one or more modular garments including as may be configured to form a coverall

Abstract

Discloses is a method, a device, and/or a system of modular garments including as may be configured as a coverall. In one embodiment, a modular garment includes an upper garment and a lower garment coupled by a horizontal coupler. The upper garment includes a body, arms, a first set of vertical fasteners, and a first set of horizontal fasteners circumferentially around a waist opening. The lower garment includes pant legs attached at a waist, a second vertical opening that includes a fly, and a second set of horizontal fasteners configured to detachably couple to the first set of horizontal fasteners of the upper garment. The modular garment enables a person to separate the upper garment from the lower garment with the horizontal fastener while leaving the vertical fasteners fastened and/or unfasten the upper garment and the lower garment while leaving the set of horizontal fasteners fastened.
