Original Abstract Submitted
An article of clothing includes an electronic button assembly including an interface having a face and a base. The face defines a face periphery having a generally rectangular shape with two opposite corners cut-out as defined by six edges. The base defines a base periphery extending beyond the face periphery on all sides to provide structural support to the face. The article of clothing also includes a heater electrically coupled to the electronic control button assembly, and an outer shell coupled to the electronic button assembly. The outer shell has an outer surface and sewing edges. The sewing edges are folded inwardly and define a shell opening receiving the interface. A shape of the shell opening follows the shape of the face periphery. The base is disposed beneath the outer shell.
