Abstract
A garment is provided with first and second fastener tracks such as to extend transversely across respective front and back parts of its trunk portion. The fastener tracks can be fastened together with a portion of the garment other than a portion under these fastener tracks accommodated in the space defined by the portion under the fastener tracks. In this form, the garment can be used as a knapsack to be carried along on the back. Thus, it is possible to avoid losing the garment after it is taken off. Also, there is no need for the garment to occupy either hand when it is carried along. Further, small-sized goods may be carried along in the knapsack thus formed.
