Upper body garments (10) (e.g., jackets, vests or the like) are provided having front (12) and back panels enclosing a torso region of a wearer. The back panel includes a cushion back panel (14) having an upper end attached to the front panel (12) at shoulder regions of the garment (10) and extending from the upper end thereof to a lower end positioned at or below a waist region of the wearer. A pull cord (50, 52) has one end operably connected to the lower end of the cushion back panel (14) and an opposite free end positioned near one of the shoulder regions of the garment (10) such that a pull force exerted on the latter when the cushion back panel (14) is in an unattached configuration causes the cushion back panel (14) to roll onto itself from the lower end thereof toward the upper end thereof and thereby form a cushion roll (60) at a neck region of the wearer.
