Collar can be used as a pillow

People tend to doze off easily on trains, but it is rather uncomfortable to do so. However, things are different now with the advent of a new type of perfect pajama jacket, allowing passengers to have a sound sleep on the train.

This coat called "Excubo" is invented by designer Matthew Geller and is twice the size of a cocoon. "Excubo" means "I sleep outside" in Latin. This garment not only keeps warm but also functions as a down cushion, sleeping quilt, mittens, and pillow. This gray coat has a tall stiff collar that prevents your head from rolling around or leaning against a neighboring passenger's shoulder while you sleep soundly with your eyes tightly closed.

This jacket is sure to catch the attention and favor of long-distance travelers or those who take night trains. The inventor of this garment, Geller from San Francisco, USA, came up with the idea after observing the discomfort of travelers alternating between sleeping and waking on trains. He said: "We've all experienced the uncomfortable naps on airplanes and buses. My invention targets these issues. The stiff collar covers the passenger's face and the turned-down collar can be used as a pillow. The garment can be tightened to keep the body upright, and the cuffs are open so that passengers can insert their hands into the gloves while sleeping."

Geller's invention has won the approval of James Dyson, the pioneer of air conditioning in the UK. Geller has already won in a design competition sponsored by him. Geller also has other invention plans, including a bone-shaped container to help dogs eat better, and some new artistic flat furniture that looks like it's been crushed by an earthquake.

However, Geller's focus is currently on negotiating with manufacturers who plan to mass-produce these pajama jackets and launch them in the UK and US markets. But note: this garment may not necessarily wake you up on time when you reach your destination.
