This amazing invention by Justin Gargasz is called 'Vessel.' It easily transforms from a reversible jacket into a tent! Justin came up with the idea for this multi-purpose coat after discovering that we sometimes have a need to escape from our surroundings. This concept provides a private space for the wearer whenever it is needed.
An additional feature to this amazing concept is that if the weather gets too hot, the coat can also be folded up into a bag and so can easily be carried by tying the arms of the jacket around your shoulders.
