Garment Retention Device and Method of Use Thereof

Abstract

A garment retention device with dual and continuous low profile work surfaces that adhere to fabric but not skin, that is infinitely adjustable for adaptable fit, and that comfortably accommodates user movement, yet holds clothing place.

1 . A clothing retention device, comprising:
 strap with two primary work surfaces and formed from molded low profile hook material in a back-to-back arrangement, wherein said two primary work surfaces removably stick to clothing fabric and do not stick to skin.   
     
     
         2 . The clothing retention device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 two short straps, each with a first work surface formed from low profile hook material and a second work surface formed from loop material,   wherein said second work surface of each of said two short straps removably engages with said elongate strap, functioning as closure segments.   
     
     
         3 . The clothing retention device of  claim 2 , further comprising a clasp, wherein each of said two short straps is operatively engaged with said clasp. 
     
     
         4 . The clothing retention device of  claim 3 , wherein said clasp is removably related to said clothing retention device. 
     
     
         5 . The clothing retention device of  claim 3 , wherein said clasp is a double loop clasp. 
     
     
         6 . The clothing retention device of  claim 5 , wherein a first loop of said clasp is adapted to receive a first end of said clothing retention device therethrough, and wherein a second loop of said clasp is adapted to receive a second end of said clothing retention device therethrough. 
     
     
         7 . The clothing retention device of  claim 2 , wherein said two short straps and said elongate strap are permanently related into a singular belt structure. 
     
     
         8 . A super adjustable, two-sided belt for wear between two articles of clothing, comprising
 a thin strap, said thin strap further comprising,
 a first low profile hook surface with concentrated hooks; 
 a second low profile hook surface with concentrated hooks, said first and said second low profile hook surfaces opposingly positioned; 
 a third loop surface carried proximate a first end of said thin strap, on a single side of said two sides; and 
   a buckle carried by said thin strap,   wherein said first low profile hook surface is removably engaged with the first of the two articles of clothing, and   wherein said second low profile hook surface is removably engaged with the second of the two articles of clothing.   
     
     
         9 . The super adiustable, two-sided belt of  claim 8 , wherein a second end of said thin strap is attached proximate a first edge of said buckle, and said first end of said thin strap extends through said buckle, proximate a second edge of said buckle, and removably engages one said low profile hook surface of said thin strap. 
     
     
         10 . The super adiustable, two-sided belt of  claim 8 , further comprising a fourth loop surface carried proximate a second end of said thin strap, on the same said single side of said two sides as said third loop surface,
 wherein said second end of said thin strap extends through said buckle, proximate a first edge of said buckle, and said first end of said thin strap extends through said buckle, proximate a second edge opposingly related to said first edge, and   wherein said third loop surface and said fourth loop surface removably engage one said low profile hook surface of said thin strap.   
     
     
         11 . The super adjustable, two-sided belt of  claim 8 , wherein said first low profile hook surface removably adheres to an outer surface of the first of the two articles of clothing, wherein said second low profile hook surface removably adheres to an inner surface of the second of the two articles of clothing, and wherein when so adhered, said adjustable, two-sided belt prevents the relative movement of the two articles of clothing. 
     
     
         12 . A method of clothing retention, comprising the steps of:
 passing a first end of a belt through a buckle;   removably fastening a loop surface of said first end of said belt to a first low profile hook surface of said belt to engage said buckle;   extending said belt around an individual's torso and over the individual's shirt, engaging a second low profile hook surface of said belt with the shirt;   passing a second end of said belt through said buckle;   pulling said second end of said belt, tightening;   removably fastening said loop surface of said second end of said belt to said first low profile hook surface of said belt,   wherein said first end and said second end of said belt are capable of selective engagement anywhere on said first low profile hook surface of said belt.   
     
     
         13 . The method of clothing retention of  claim 12 , further comprising the steps of:
 after passing a second end of said belt through said buckle, unfastening said loop surface of said first end of said belt from said first low profile hook surface;   pulling each said first and second ends of said belt, tightening; and   removably fastening said loop surface of said first end of said belt and said loop surface of said second end of said belt to said first low profile hook surface of said belt.   
     
     
         14 . The clothing retention device of  claim 1 , wherein a first of said two primary work surfaces is removably adhered to a first portion of a clothing article, wherein a second of said two primary work surfaces is removably adhered to a second portion of the same or a different clothing article, and wherein said clothing retention device secures the first portion of the clothing article relative to the second portion of the same or a different clothing article. 
     
     
         15 . The super adjustable, two-sided belt of  claim 8 , wherein said belt and buckle are formed without detectable metal features, facilitating passage of a wearer through security checkpoints. 
     
     
         16 . The clothing retention device of  claim 1 , wherein said molded low profile hook material is nylon. 
     
     
         17 . The super adjustable, two-sided belt of  claim 8 , further comprising an endcap proximate each of said first end and said second end of said thin strap. 
     
     
         18 . The garment retention device of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more resilient elements for a stretch feature. 
     
     
         19 . The garment retention device of  claim 1 , wherein said low profile hook material is formed on a backing with at least a minimal resilience. 
     
     
         20 . The super adjustable, two-sided belt of  claim 8 , further comprising one or more accessory features selected from the group consisting of a security zipper compartment and a slidably related wallet.
