Claims: We claim:

1. An article of wearing apparel comprising:

a. an elongated fabric member having an intermediate portion and opposite end portions, said fabric member having opposed side edges;

b. first and second facing fabric layers, a pair of fabric layers extending between a respective one of the opposite end portions and the intermediate portion of said fabric and connected at spaced points to define a passage, said pair of fabric layers each having opposed side edges having a spacing therebetween less than a spacing between the opposite side edges of said fabric member whereby when the other of the end portions of said fabric member have been moved through the passage adjacent the said end portion for use, said fabric portions provide resistance to pulling of said other end portion through said passage; and

c. a fabric panel having an end edge and a side edge, said fabric panel side edge being joined to said fabric member at one of said side edges thereof in a manner such that said fabric panel and the intermediate portion of said fabric member define a hood.

2. An article of wearing apparel comprising:

a. an elongated fabric member having an intermediate portion and opposite end portions, said fabric member having opposed side edges;

b. first and second facing fabric layers, a pair of fabric layers extending between a respective one of the opposite end portions and the intermediate portion of said fabric and connected at spaced points to define a passage, said pair of fabric layers each having opposed side edges having a spacing therebetween less than a spacing between the opposite side edges of said fabric member whereby when the other of the end portions of said fabric member has been moved through the passage adjacent the said end portion for use, said fabric portions provide resistance to pulling of said other end portion through said passage age; and

c. a pair of fabric layers extending between the other end end portion and the intermediate portion and connected at spaced points to define a second passage;

d. said fabric member being formed of knitted material;

e. said fabric layers between the intermediate portion and the opposite end portions being formed of double knitted material to define said first and second passages; and

f. a fabric panel formed of knitted material and having an end edge and a side edge, said fabric panel side edge being joined to said fabric member at one of the side edges thereof in a manner such that said fabric panel and the intermediate portion of said fabric member define a hood.

3. An article of wearing apparel as set forth in claim 2 wherein the intermediate portion of said fabric member has a length in the range of 14 to 22 inches.

4. An article of wearing apparel as set forth in claim 2 wherein the spacing between the opposite side edges of said fabric member is approximately twice the spacing between the opposite side edges of said fabric layers.

5. An article of wearing apparel comprising:

a. an elongated fabric member having an intermediate portion and opposite end portions, said fabric member having opposite side edges;

b. first and second pair of facing fabric portions, each pair of facing fabric portions extending between a respective one of the opposite end portions and the intermediate portion of said fabric member to define first and second passages, said fabric portions of said first and second fabric portions each having opposite side edges having a spacing therebetween less than the spacing between the opposite side edges of said fabric member, said fabric portions of said first and second fabric portions each having a length substantially less than the spacing between the opposed side edges of said fabric member end portions whereby when one of the end portions of said fabric member has been moved through the passage adjacent the other end portion for use, said fabric portions provide resistance to pulling of said one end portion through said passage;

c. the intermediate portion of said fabric member having a length in the range of 14 to 22 inches;

d. the spacing between the opposite side edges of said fabric member being approximately twice the spacing between the opposite side edges of said fabric portions; and

e. a fabric panel having an end edge and a side edge, said fabric panel side edge being joined to said fabric member at one of the side edges thereof in a manner such that said fabric panel and intermediate portion of said fabric member define a hood.
