Abstract

Garment with a hood providing a wearer with hood embedded peripheral viewing capability and without compromising a wearer's protection from the elements is presented. Provides hood wearer protection from image recording surveillance state by offering a hoodie with peripheral viewing without exposing a wearer's face, without complicated side flaps, snaps or accessory caps, visors and/or bills.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A garment with a hood having embedded peripheral viewing comprising:
 a garment with fabric material hood for covering a wearers head, hood having a face opening, roughly two lateral sides, top and a back component contiguous with and connecting the sides;   the hood having embedded side view ports on each lateral side of the hood;   each hood lateral side having at least one embedded view port being more or less similar in construction and shape, positioned for more or less at wearer's eye level viewing and having at least one effective width of between 1 mm to 20 cm and a length measured at least 1 mm from a hood face edge and extending towards the rear or back of the hood with a length of between 1 mm and 30 cm, and   the lateral side view port edges having flexible support on the port edges to resist hood material from tearing through regular use,   whereby the hood garment wearer has hood unobstructed view to the front and sides as the hood protects a wearer's head and face while wearing the hooded garment.   
     
     
         2 . Garment with a hood as in  claim 1  further comprising embedded side view ports having stitched port edges for strengthening the side view port in a hoods fabric. 
     
     
         3 . Garment with a hood as in  claim 1  further comprising embedded side view ports having reinforced patch coupled to the port edges for strengthening the side view port structural stability in a hood fabric. 
     
     
         4 . Garment with a hood as in  claim 1  further embedded side view ports having grommet-like coupled port edges for strengthening the side view port integrity. 
     
     
         5 . Garment with a hood as in  claim 1  further comprising a side view port having transparent synthetic fabric covering the port for strengthening the port structural integrity as well as weather integrity. 
     
     
         6 . Garment with a hood as in  claim 1  further comprising a side view port having a mesh, veil, netting or semi-transparent fabric covering the port for strengthening the port structural integrity. 
     
     
         7 . Garment with a hood as in  claim 1  further comprising a miniature wireless camera on a hood's rear, cameral electronically coupled to a smartphone or other video image viewing devices. 
     
     
         8 . Garment with a hood as in  claim 1  further comprising a side view port surrounding hood area having the port integrated as part of the hood surrounding art, design or commercial decaled artifact or symbol. 
     
     
         9 . Method for a garment with a hood having peripheral viewing comprising the steps of:
 providing a garment having a fabric material hood covering for a wearers head, hood having an open front, with two lateral sides, top and a back component;   embedding side view ports of see-through fabric on each lateral side of the hood;   positioning hood side view port more or less at or within wearer's peripheral view, ports being of more or less similar in construction and shape, and having at least one effective width of between 1 mm to 12 cm and a length measured at least 1 mm from a hood face edge front and extending towards the rear or back of the hood with a length of between 1 mm and 10 cm, and   having the lateral side view port edges with structural support on the port edges to resist hood material from tearing through regular use,   
       whereby the hood Garment wearer has unobstructed view to the front and sides while hood obscures a wearer's face while wearing the hooded garment. 
     
     
         10 . Method for garment with a hood in  claim 9  further comprising the steps of: providing side view port having stitched port edges for supporting the side view port in a hoods fabric. 
     
     
         11 . Method for Garment with a hood in  claim 9  further comprising the steps of providing a side view port having reinforced patching fabric with adhesive coupled to the port edges for strengthening the side view port structural stability in a hood fabric. 
     
     
         12 . Method for garment with a hood in  claim 9  further comprising the steps of embedding side view port having port edge rigid components coupled port edges for strengthening the side view port integrity. 
     
     
         13 . Method for garment with a hood in  claim 9  further comprising the steps of embedding a side view port of transparent synthetic fabric for weather protection and port structural integrity. 
     
     
         14 . Method for garment with a hood in  claim 9  further comprising the steps of embedding a mesh, veil, netting, semi-transparent or see-through fabric covering the port for port structural integrity while reducing incoming light from outside of the hood. 
     
     
         15 . Method for garment with a hood in  claim 9  further comprising the steps of embedding a miniature wireless camera on a hood's rear, cameral electronically coupled to a smartphone or other video image viewing devices. 
     
     
         16 . Method for garment with a hood in  claim 9  further comprising the steps of embedding side view port surrounding hood area having the port integrated as part of the hood with surrounding art, design or commercial decaled artifact or symbol.
