A garment according to claim 1, wherein: said pocket is attached to an inside surface of the sleeve directly engageable with an arm of the wearer during use of the garment, an outer surface of the sleeve covering the pocket from view in both the lifted-up state of the distal portion and in a non-lifted-up state. 7. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: said arrangement for maintaining the distal portion in a lifted-up state includes snaps. 8. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: the proximal portion and the distal portion comprise snaps to maintain the proximal portion against the distal portion. 9. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: said arrangement for maintaining the distal portion is positioned on an upper part of the proximal portion. 10. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: said closable opening between the torso portion and the respective sleeve comprises a substantially U-shaped closable-opening with a first portion oriented substantially vertically and a second portion oriented substantially vertically. 11. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: said closable opening between the torso portion and the respective sleeve comprises a double slider zipper. 12. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: the first portion positioned on each underarm, extending along a side of the torso portion and the second portion extending on the respective one of the sleeves belong to the same piece of fabric. 13. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: the proximal portion comprises a lining. 14. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: said arrangement for maintaining the distal portion in a lifted-up state includes an elastic band adapted to extend at least partially around a wearer's arm to apply tension to the lifted-up distal portion of the sleeve against the arm. 15. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: in the lifted-up state, at least a portion of the distal portion of a sleeve has a shape of a roll with spaced-apart ends;in the lifted-up state, the roll is received within the pocket. 16. A garment according to claim 15, wherein: the pocket is attached to and forms a flap on an outer surface of the proximal portion;the pocket has an upward-facing opening, for receiving the rolled-up portion of the distal portion, and a bottom spaced downwardly from the opening, the bottom of the pocket forming a free end of the flap. 17. A garment according to claim 16, wherein: the pocket is an interior pocket, the flap having an outer surface covering the opening of the pocket from view. 18. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: said arrangement for maintaining the distal portion in a lifted-up state includes an elastic band extending only partially around a wearer's arm, between first and second spaced-apart ends of the band, to apply tension to the lifted-up distal portion of the sleeve against the arm. 19. A garment according to claim 1, wherein: said arrangement for maintaining the distal portion in a lifted-up state includes a band, separate from and affixed to the sleeve, said band extending only partially around a wearer's arm, between first and second spaced-apart ends of the band, to hold the lifted-up distal portion of the sleeve against the arm. 20. A garment comprising: a torso portion;a pair of sleeves attached to the torso portion;each of said sleeves comprising: a proximal portion adjacent to the torso portion;a distal portion;the garment being structured and arranged to reconfigure each of the sleeves from a sleeve extended configuration to a sleeve rolled-and-stowed configuration;in the sleeve extended configuration, the proximal portion of a respective sleeve and the distal portion of the respective sleeve are structured and arranged to extend around respective ones of an upper portion and a lower portion of an arm of the wearer;in the sleeve rolled-and-stowed configuration, the wearer's arm is not within the distal portion of the respective sleeve and the distal portion of the respective sleeve is rolled upon itself;means enabling the garment to be reconfigured from the extended sleeve configuration to the rolled-and-stowed configuration while the sleeves remain attached to the torso portion of the garment and while the torso portion of the garment is positioned around a torso of the wearer;a respective retention device attached to the proximal portion of each of the sleeves to retain respective sleeves in the rolled-and-stowed configuration;the retention device comprising a band or strap. 21.
