Abstract A safety garment for human wear has a flat first sheet of fabric generally symmetrical about a center line. The first sheet includes a continuous, approximately rectangular, central area merging with an upper bib portion and merging with a pair of lower individual leg portions. There is a neck loop at the top of the upwardly converging bib portion, and there are several casings extending across the first sheet and the leg portions approximately normal to the center line and open near the margins of the first sheet to receive curved spring clasps to shape the sheet approximately to fit a wearer. There is a smaller, second sheet of fabric, also symmetrical about the center line, secured to the bib portion along three sides to define a pocket with an open top. The pocket can be inverted to receive the remainder of the garment when it is folded and inserted therein.
