     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In one of its many aspects, this invention provides an adjustable size garment for outdoor wear. The garment is especially adapted for wear by adults, especially those adults carrying accompanying infants, with a portion of the garment being especially adapted to optionally fit around an infant carried on the torso of an adult wearing the garment. 
     The adjustable size garment preferably includes a central portion adapted to fit about an adult&#39;s torso. The central portion generally includes a front part, left and right side parts and a rear part. 
     The adjustable size garment may further preferably include a detachable hood which is preferably snap-attached to an upper part of the central portion. The detachable hood is adapted to fit around the head of an adult wearing the garment. 
     The adjustable size garment desirably includes a drawstring positioned within a fabric tunnel running circumferentially around the lower extremity of the central portion. The drawstring works to secure the central portion lower extremity about the torso of an adult wearing the garment. 
     A main zipper runs generally vertically, is fitted in a front part of the central portion of the adjustable size garment, and serves to optionally secure together generally vertically extending edges of the central portion. The main zipper extends upwardly preferably from the lower extremity of the central portion preferably to a position about midway between the lower extremity and an upper extremity of the central portion, where snap closures commence and run up to the collar of the garment, to secure the upper part of the front part and the collar optionally partially or completely closed. 
     The snap closures are particularly suitable for this garment when the wearer of the garment chooses to carry a small child within the garment. The snap closures allow the garment to be closed snuggly around the infant&#39;s neck or even the infant&#39;s face without the danger of irritation or chafing of the infant&#39;s skin, which would otherwise be present were zippers used to close the upper portion of the garment. 
     The adjustable size garment further preferably includes such a collection of snap closures. These snap closures serve to detachably secure together the generally vertically extending edges of the central portion and extend from a position about midway between the lower extremity of the central portion and the upper extremity of the central portion where the main zipper terminates, up to a position proximate an upper extremity of the upper portion. 
     The adjustable size garment further preferably includes a pair of closable generally vertically extending apparent openings in the outer cloth of respective side parts of the central portion. Pairs of left and right side vertically extending bisecting zippers are preferably attached to edges of the respective closable vertically extending openings. Each of the left and right side extending vertically bisecting zippers is preferably adapted to be manually substantially vertically moved to eliminate horizontal separation between respective inter-engaging portions of the zippers, thereby to tighten or to loosen the central portion of the garment about the torso of an adult wearing the garment. These vertically extending bisecting zippers are preferably of the “invisible” type, such that when the zippers are closed, only the pull for the zipper is visible. 
     The adjustable size garment preferably further includes zippered pockets on each arm of the garment. 
     The garment preferably further includes left and right front panel lower zippers, which provide openings to pockets located within the garment, and left and right panel upper zippers that provide openings to the garment interior. The left and right front panel lower zippers and left and right front panel upper zippers are essentially vertically aligned. The left and right front panel upper zippers close generally vertically extending openings in the respective front parts of the central portion, which openings are suitably adapted for passage therethrough of an infant or small child&#39;s arms when the infant or small child is carried by an adult, with the infant or small child within the garment upper portion, so that the infant or small child is carried generally on the torso, particularly on the upper chest or breast, of the adult. The closeable, generally vertically openings in the respective front parts of the central portion allow the infant&#39;s arms to protrude, thereby providing a posture of greater comfort for the infant while the infant is being carried by the adult. 
     In another one of its aspects, this invention provides an adjustable size garment for outdoor wear by adults, especially adapted for those adults carrying accompanying infants, with a frontal portion of the garment being adjustably enlargeable to fit around an infant carried on the upper torso of an adult wearing the garment. 
     In this aspect of the invention, the garment preferably includes a central portion adapted to fit about an adult&#39;s torso, with the central portion generally having a front part comprising left and right exterior panel side parts comprising respective left and right side exterior panels, and a back part comprising a back panel. The garment further preferably includes a drawstring positioned within a circumferential fabric tunnel located at the lower extremity of the central portion for securing the central portion lower extremity about the torso of an adult wearing the garment. 
     The garment in this aspect of the invention yet further preferably includes a front zipper fitted in a front part of the central portion. The front zipper serves to optionally secure together generally vertically extending edges of the left and right front exterior panels of the central portion. The front zipper preferably extends from the lower extremity of the central portion to a position generally midway between the lower extremity of the central portion and an upper extremity of the central portion. 
     In one embodiment of the invention, the garment further preferably includes a collection of snap closures for detachably securing together generally vertically extending edges of the left front and right front exterior panels of the central portion. The snap closures are preferably located between the upper extremity of the front zipper and an upper extremity of the central portion. The garment preferably further includes a pair of sleeves extending downwardly from the upper extremity of the central portion to accommodate the arms of the person wearing the garment. 
     Size adjusting zippers are provided in the form of left and right side panel bisecting zippers extending from the lower extremity of the central portion upwardly under the sleeves nearly to juncture of the respective sleeve and the central portion. These size adjusting zippers permit adjustment of the size of the garment around the girth of the adult wearing the garment. Linings are provided connected to the central portion. The linings are connected interior of the size-adjusting left and right side panel bisecting zippers, on both sides of respective ones of the size-adjusting left and right side panel bisecting zippers. The linings are preferably of a preselected width to control the extent to which a garment may be size adjusted to accommodate adults of varying size by raising or lowering the size-adjusting zippers. The linings are preferably fabric, most preferably elastic.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     As regarding nomenclature used in describing the invention, when using the terms “left” and “right”, reference should be made to the garment as illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The “left” side of the garment is the left side as the garment as worn. Consequently, the “left” side of the garment appears on the right in  FIG. 1 , and the “right” side of the garment appears on the left in  FIG. 1 . 
     Referring to the drawings in general, and to  FIGS. 1 through 16  in particular, a garment manifesting aspects of the invention is designated generally  10  and includes a collar designated  12  with the collar having collar snaps  14  for securing the two portions of the collar together. The collar and collar snaps are best illustrated in  FIG. 1 . Each pair of collar snaps  14  has a male portion and a female portion; male portions of collar snaps  14  are denoted “ 14 M” whereas female portions of collars snaps  14  are denoted “ 14 F.” The garment further includes a rear neck cover panel designated  16  and a back panel designated  18 , both best illustrated in  FIG. 2 . 
     The garment further includes a left side exterior panel designated generally  20 , and a left front panel designated generally  26 , both illustrated in  FIG. 1 . 
     The garment further includes a right front exterior panel  56  and a right side exterior panel  50 . The garment is generally symmetrical about a vertical axis such that right side exterior panel  50  corresponds generally to left side exterior panel  20  and right front exterior panel  56  corresponds generally to left front exterior panel  26 , with the exterior panel pairs  50 ,  20  and  56 ,  26  being essentially mirror images one of another in shape. When sewn together, left and right front exterior panels  26 ,  56 , left and right side exterior panels  20 ,  50 , and back panel  18 , together with rear neck cover panel  16  and collar  12 , form the exterior body portion of the garment of the invention. 
     In the drawings, seams joining two pieces of cloth are denoted by solid lines. One such seam, where rear neck cover panel  16  joins back panel  18 , is seam  100  illustrated in  FIG. 2 . Straight stitching joining adjacent pieces of fabric to form a seam, such as seam  100 , is depicted by dotted lines in the drawings; one such set of stitching forming a seam  102  between back panel  18  and right front exterior panel  56  is designated  104  in  FIG. 2 . Overlock stitching is denoted by closely spaced loops, such as stitching  226  in  FIG. 14 . 
     In the drawings, not all seams have been numbered to enhance drawing clarity. Similarly in the drawings, stitching such as stitch line  104  has not completely been illustrated to enhance drawing clarity. 
     A front zipper  36  is provided to releasably secure left front exterior panel  26  to right front exterior panel  56  as desired by the garment wearer. A set of front snaps, each of which snaps has been designated  38 , is provided, with front snaps  38  located about forty percent of the way from collar  12  to the lower margin of the garment. Front snaps  38  are spaced vertically along vertically extending margins of left front exterior panel  26  and right front exterior panel  56 . 
     Front snaps  38  are conventional and consist in each case of a mating male and female pair. The drawings depict the male and female pairs of each snap schematically; each of front snaps  38  has a male member and a female member comprising the snap  38 ; female members of snaps  38  are denoted “ 38 F” while male members of snaps  38  are denoted “ 38 M.” While garment  10  has been depicted with two pairs of front snaps  38  located in spaced apart relation along the margins of left front exterior panel  26  and right front exterior panel  56 , it is to be understood that the number of front snaps  38  that are used may depend on the size in which the garment is constructed, and the desire of the wearer for more or less closure as between left front exterior panel  26  and right front exterior panel  56 . 
     Garment  10  further includes left and right sleeves designated generally  48  and  68  respectively, with each sleeve having an outwardly facing portion and an inwardly facing portion that is more proximate to the garment and to the body of the wearer. An outer portion of right sleeve  68  is denoted  80 , while an inner portion of right sleeve  68  is denoted  82 . An outer portion of left sleeve  48  is denoted  84 , while an inner portion of left sleeve  48  is designated  86 . 
     Garment  10  further includes side zippers extending upwardly from the bottom margin of the garment, essentially bisecting the respective exterior side panels  20 ,  50  and terminating below the arm hole for the respective sleeve. These panel bisecting zippers are designated  150 ,  152  respectively and are illustrated in  FIGS. 12 and 13 . A seam  200  joins left side exterior panel  20  and rear exterior panel  18 . Another seam  202  joins right side exterior panel  50  and rear exterior panel  18 . The seam joining outer and inner portions  80 ,  82  of right sleeve  68  is designated  204 . The seam joining outer and inner portions  84 ,  86  of left sleeve  48  is designated  206 .

     In the garment of the invention, as illustrated, left front and right front panel upper zippers  32 ,  62  respectively define passageways to the garment interior. These zippers  32 ,  62  reside in seams joining vertically extending edges of respective left and right exterior panel edges to edges of the left and right side exterior panels. These upper zippers  32 ,  62  are spaced from and located above lower zippers  28 ,  58 . Zippers  32 ,  62 , when open, allow passage into the garment interior or, passage outwardly from the garment interior, for example by the arms of an infant carried by an adult wearing the garment and carrying the infant on the adult&#39;s chest, such as is illustrated in  FIG. 16 , clearly showing an infant carried by an adult wearer of the garment, with the infant&#39;s arms protruding through the spaces when upper zippers  32 ,  62  are disengaged. 
     Another feature of the garment of the invention is the presence of left and right side panel bisecting zippers  150 ,  152  respectively as illustrated in  FIGS. 12 and 13 . These bisecting zippers, when closed, define the garment as being of one size. When the zippers are open, the garment is of a larger size, being expandable to accommodate persons of larger girth, or to accommodate an adult carrying an infant, for example. Left and right side panel bisecting zippers  150 ,  152  are located in respective left and right side exterior panels  20 ,  50 , as well illustrated in  FIGS. 12 and 13 . Left and right side panel bisecting zippers  150 ,  152  preferably extend generally vertically as illustrated in  FIGS. 12 and 13 . Located behind left side and right side panel bisecting zippers  150 ,  152  are preferably fabric panels denoted  154 ,  156  respectively, which serve as expansion panels for the garment. 
     It is desirable that expansion panels  154 ,  156  be fabric. It is especially desirable that the fabric expansion panels  154 ,  156  be elastic and be elastically stretchable. 
     Left sleeve zipper  49  and right sleeve zipper  69  are positioned respectively in the forward portions of left and right sleeves  48 ,  68 , and are oriented essentially vertically when the garment is worn, as illustrated in  FIG. 1 . Left sleeve zipper  49  and right sleeve zipper  69  define entrances to pockets formed in the respective left and right sleeves  48 ,  68 . Vertical length of left sleeve zipper  49  and right sleeve zipper  69  are substantially the same as left front panel lower zipper  28  and right front panel lower zipper  58 . However, left sleeve zipper  49  and right sleeve zipper  69  are not disposed in seams. Left front panel lower zipper  28  and right front panel lower zipper  58  defining portions of seams  208  and  210  which respectively join left and right front exterior panels  26 ,  56  to left side exterior panel  20  and right side exterior panel  50  are disposed in seams, as illustrated clearly in  FIG. 1 . 
     Front snaps  38  are positioned to provide overlapping closure of the upper portions of left front exterior panel  26  and right front exterior panel  56 , with an upper portion of left front exterior panel  26  being formed as a placket designed to receive in overlapping fashion a corresponding interiorly facing placket formed in the upper portion along the vertically extending edge of right front exterior panel  56 . Overlapping of the placket portions provides secure warmth when snaps portions  38 M and  38 F are engaged, and the plackets are in overlapping facing contact one with another. 
     Waist drawstring  40  is equipped with a pair of spring-loaded drawstring push button releasable fasteners  46 , which the user may use to draw and hold waist drawstring  40  more tightly around the wearer&#39;s waist or loins, thereby to prevent loss of body heat. 
     In the drawing figures showing the patterns for fabricating the garment of the invention, notches are shown for matching edges of adjoining pattern pieces as a seamstress sews the garment of the invention. 
     When viewing  FIG. 6 , item  66  denotes the lining on the left side of the garment, which is seen looking through the opening defined when zipper  62  is in the open, disengaged position. It is to be understood that the opening defined by zipper  62  in its position as right front panel upper zipper, provides an opening to the interior of the jacket. Hence, in the view provided in  FIG. 6 , item  66  is actually the left inside lining of the jacket as one would look from the right side looking into and through the interior of the jacket and seeing the left inside lining. As noted above, the opening defined by disengagement of the zipper  62  is particularly suited for the arms of an infant or small child carried by the wearer of the garment, as shown in  FIG. 16 . 
     Similarly in  FIG. 7 , the portion of the garment visible through open right panel upper zipper  62  is denoted  214  and should be understood to represent a part of the rear lining of the garment, since there is no pocket associated with right front panel upper zipper  62 , but rather the open right front panel upper zipper  62  provides an opening which is particularly suitably well adapted for the arms of an infant carried by the wearer of the garment. Similarly in  FIG. 10 , the open left front panel upper zipper  32  reveals inside lining portion  216  which is actually a portion of the inside lining of the garment on the wearer&#39;s right side. 
       FIG. 11  reveals how the waist drawstring  40  fits into drawstring tunnel  42  through an eyelet  218  secured in place in drawstring tunnel  42  in conventional push-together fashion, with eyelet  218  actually being two different donut-shaped pieces that interengage when pushed together to define the eyelet with a circular opening within it. 
     The exterior seams of the garment, such as seams  200 ,  202 ,  204 ,  206 ,  208  and  210 , and other unnumbered exterior seams are preferably formed by overlock stitching. 
     Zippers such as left sleeve zipper  49 , right side exterior panel zipper  52 , and left side panel bisecting zipper  150  are preferably secured in place using straight stitching. 
     The overlock stitching used to secure seams  200 ,  202 , as well as the seam  100  and seam  102 , is clearly shown in  FIG. 14  as are the left front panel upper zipper  32  and the right front panel upper zipper  62 . 
     The straight stitching  220  used to finish the outer edge of collar  12  is shown schematically in  FIG. 14 , as is the straight stitching used to construct drawstring tunnel  42 , where these stitchings have been respectively designated  220 ,  222 . 
     Referring particularly to  FIG. 14 , there is visible overlock stitching  230  securing together rear neck cover panel  16  to rear exterior panel  18  to define seam  100 , with seam  100  being best shown in  FIG. 2 . Similarly in  FIG. 14 , there is shown overlock stitching  226  securing left side panel  20  and rear panel  18  together thereby to define seam  200 , with seam  200  being shown in  FIG. 2 . Further similarly, referring to  FIG. 14 , overlock stitching  228  as shown securing together right side panel  50  and rear panel  18 , define seam  202  with seam  202  being shown in  FIG. 2 .
