You touch the Bag of Holding and the article of clothing that serve as Material components for the spell. In so doing, you bind that article of clothing to a Bag of Holding, causing the inner surface or a pocket of the article of clothing to contain an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions—roughly 2 feet square and 4 feet deep on the inside. You can choose whether the space is the the inner surface, such as the lining of a coat, or specifically the inside of a pocket when you cast the spell. The article can then hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet, which it shares with the original Bag of Holding.
So long as the original Bag of Holding exists, the article of clothing weighs no more than it originally did, however, should the original Bag of Holding be destroyed, the article of clothing increases in weight, as it becomes the sole target of the magic that created the original Bag of Holding. This works in reverse as well, should the article of clothing be destroyed. As with the bag, the space accessed by the article of clothing holds enough air for 10 minutes of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside. Should the item of clothing be turned inside out, or a pocket reached into by someone other than the original caster, the secret compartment appears entirely mundane, until put right or reached into by the caster.
Placing the article of clothing inside an extradimensional space created by another item, such as a Portable Hole, instantly destroys all three items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane, both at the article of clothing's location as well as the location of the original bag of Holding. Any creature within a 10-foot-radius Sphere centered on either gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gates then close. The gates are one-way and can’t be reopened.
After 60 days, there is a cumulative 5 percent chance at the end of each day that the spell ends, unless recast using the original article of clothing and Bag of Holding. If the spell ends and the Bag of Holding no longer exists, the contents spill forth unharmed from the article of clothing. Otherwise the spell ends harmlessly.
This spell can be used multiple times on the same article of clothing, and different Bags of Holding, provided that the article used in the casting has at least one additional inner surface or pocket to bind to each magic item. Casting this spell using a higher level spell slot allows the caster to bind multiple articles of clothing to the same Bag of Holding, with one additional article of clothing being bound per spell slot level.
