Abstract
A garment pocket for a shirt or T-shirt formed of textile fabric. The pocket is configured to house a touchscreen-operated electronic device such as a smartphone or pad computer or PDA when positioned therein through the employment of a front wall formed of transparent material formed of polymeric material adapted to communicate the touch of a user'"'"'s fingers to the touchscreen through the transparent material. A closure is employed to retain the electronic device in the pocket. A channel formed in the textile shirt fabric provides a conduit for wires engaged to the electronic device in the pocket to communicate to the collar area of the shirt such as for headphones. Stitching in the textile fabric between the pocket engagement area of the shirt to the shoulder area of the shirt communicates and distributes the weight in the pocket to the shoulder area of the shirt.
