Apparatus includes magnet assembly mounted to garment

Abstract

An apparatus is for a user. The apparatus includes (and is not limited to) a garment configured to be worn by the user. The garment is positionable in a hung position. The apparatus also includes a magnet assembly operatively mounted to the garment. This is done in such a way that the magnet assembly aligns portions of the garment once the garment is removed from the user and the garment is positioned in the hung position.

 the first leg-mounted magnet and the second leg-mounted magnet being magnetically attractive to each other. 
   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein:
 the first leg-mounted magnet and the second leg-mounted magnet are positioned on the inside of a front pant crease on respective pant legs of the pant.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein:

   the second magnet device includes:
 a second waist-mounted magnet operatively mounted to the waist band of the pant; and 
 the first waist-mounted magnet and the second waist-mounted magnet are magnetically attractive to each other. 
   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein:
 a fly line extends from the waist band between each front pant crease formed on each pant leg of the pant; and   the first waist-mounted magnet and the second waist-mounted magnet are positioned on opposite sides of the fly line; and   belt loops are positioned on opposite sides of the waist band, and the first waist-mounted magnet and the second waist-mounted magnet are positioned proximate to respective instances of the belt loops.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the first magnet device includes:
 a first leg-mounted magnet operatively mounted to a first pant cuff of the pant; and 
 a first waist-mounted magnet operatively mounted proximate to a waist band of the pant; and 
   the second magnet device includes:
 a second leg-mounted magnet operatively mounted to a second pant cuff of the pant; and 
 a second waist-mounted magnet operatively mounted to the waist band of the pant; and 
 the first waist-mounted magnet and the second waist-mounted magnet being magnetically attractive to each other;
