Dubbed the "Swiss Army Knife of jackets," the BauBax has 15 features to simplify your life in ways you hadn't imagined.

The jacket has everything from a built-in neck pillow and eye mask to pockets for your iPad, passport, and portable charger. Even the zipper has a purpose - it easily transforms into a pen that can extend up to four inches.

The invention is setting records on Kickstarter, where it has raised more than $7.25 million from 36,600 people and counting. The jacket's design team, Chicago-based BauBax LLC, originally set a goal of $20,000, but they have now raised more money than any other clothing item in the short history of Kickstarter.

It comes in a few different styles - 100% cotton sweatshirt, water-repellent windbreaker, fleece-lined bomber, and a wrinkle-free blazer.

Each style has several different color options, though the hoods on the windbreaker and sweatshirt are not detachable.

People who back the project on Kickstarter should expect to receive their jackets in November.
