Definitions

  • aspects herein relates to garments and/or coats that are not restrictive and allow a wearer to have an enhanced range of motion. Aspects herein offers several practical applications in the technical arts, not limited to athletic wear, casual wear, etc. More particularly, aspects herein relates to apparel that affords freedom of movement around the shoulders and arms of a wearer, especially when engaged in a physically demanding activity or any activity benefitting from a wide range of movement by the wearer's arms and shoulders.
  • Garments are constructed from different types of materials that have different stretchabilities or elastic characteristics. Additionally, depending on the placement of garment seams, the garments may diminish the range of motion afforded to the upper limbs of a wearer when the garment is worn. Further, cooler weather often requires a person wear extra layers of clothing when outdoors. The extra layers of clothing may additionally contribute to the restrictions on the range of motion of a wearer, especially when the wearer is engaging in an athletic activity, or any other type of physical activity.
  • US 2005/374050 A1 is directed at a jacket/coat designed to provide an enhanced range of motion by having a layered construction comprising different fabric/textile materials where the enhanced range of motion is desired.
  • aspects herein provide upper body garments with enhanced range of motion around the shoulders and the arms of the wearer.
  • the garments in accordance with aspects herein provide ventilation without compromising protection from the environmental elements.
  • An object of the technology described herein is to provide a garment that is comfortable and can be layered with other garments without restricting the range of motion of the arms and shoulders of a wearer.
  • the garment in accordance with aspects herein may have a layered construction where different layers of the garment may comprise the same or even different types of fabrics/textiles and/or pliable materials to achieve a comfortable wear for the wearer.
  • the garment may comprise a partial shrug portion (without front pieces covering the chest area of a wearer when the garment is worn) with a back panel, and with sleeves attached to the back panel.
  • the sleeves may be attached to the back panel by a seam, or alternatively, they may be continuous (no seams/ seamlessly adjacent) with the back panel.
  • Each sleeve of the partial shrug portion may comprise a front side edge.
  • the sleeves may be long sleeves, short sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, or any other length desired for the particular style and use for the garment.
  • the partial shrug portion may be constructed from an elastic and/or partially elastic type of material that may be knit or woven.
  • the garment may further comprise a vest portion comprising at least one front panel and at least one back panel, where the length of the at least one front panel and the at least one back panel may determine the full length of the garment.
  • the at least one back panel of the vest portion may be longer than the back panel of the partial shrug portion.
  • the vest portion may extend over the partial shrug portion, and the at least one front panel and the at least one back panel of the vest portion when affixed to each other, may define, in part, a collar opening, right and left sleeve openings, and a waist opening for the garment.
  • the front side edges of the sleeves of the partial shrug portion when extended through the sleeve openings of the vest portion may be seamed only to the front edges of the respective sleeve openings of the vest, while being completely detached from remaining portions of the sleeves of the partial shrug portion/remaining portions of the sleeve openings of the vest portion.
  • the sleeves of the partial shrug portion may essentially be free-floating from the sleeve openings of the vest portion but for the affixed front side edges of the sleeves/front edges of the sleeve openings so that when a wearer needs to stretch his/her back by pulling his/her arms forward, or in any other direction, this motion may be performed freely without strain caused by conventional sleeve constructions.
  • the vest portion may be constructed from the same stretchable material as the partial shrug portion, or alternatively, may be constructed from a different material from the shrug portion.
  • the partial shrug portion may be constructed from a stretch knit fabric/textile, while the vest portion may be constructed from a stretch woven fabric/textile.
  • stretch knit and stretch woven fabrics/textiles are stretchable materials having a particular modulus of elasticity depending on their composition and woven or knit pattern.
  • a stretchable material may be a four-way stretchable fabric/textile, a two-way stretchable fabric/textile, a composite material, a sheet-type material, and the like.
  • the partial shrug portion and the vest portion may be formed from inherently breathable materials that allow vapor moisture and heat to travel between an environment interior to the garment and an environment exterior to the garment.
  • the breathable materials may comprise moisture management properties that actually pull moisture (e.g., from perspiration) away from a wearer of the garment, in order to maintain a dry feeling for the wearer.
  • the partial shrug portion and/or the vest portion may be water-resistant or waterproof either inherently or due to a waterproofing treatment.
  • an elastic and waterproof layer of a polymer material may be applied to the inner face and/or outer face of the material prior to making the garment.
  • Another desirable property for the materials used in the construction of the garments in accordance with aspects herein is the resistance to UV radiation, in particular when the garments are meant to be worn outdoors and have full or partial exposure to direct sunlight when worn.
  • the back panel of the partial shrug portion may be affixed to a back panel of the vest portion near the bottom edge of the back panel of the shrug portion by a bottom edge seam.
  • the garments in the case where the garments are made from waterproof materials, rain or other environmental precipitation, or other water source, could potentially enter through the gap on the back created where the sleeves are detached "free-floating," and may accumulate in between the partial shrug portion and the vest portion near the bottom edge seam area. Therefore, the garment in accordance with aspects herein may be provided with a plurality of perforations on the vest portion, slightly above the bottom edge seam of the partial shrug portion between the partial shrug portion and the vest portion to allow the water to drain out without actually accumulating.
  • the bottom edge seam may follow the shape of the bottom edge of the back panel of the partial shrug portion.
  • the bottom edge seam may be completely straight and horizontal, or the bottom edge seam may be at an angle.
  • the angle may play an important role when the materials used are waterproof or water-resistant because the angle may serve to guide any water present between the vest portion and the partial shrug portion towards the plurality of perforations for more efficient water draining.
  • the seam angle may be adjusted to achieve both aesthetic and/or functional purposes.
  • the bottom edge seam may form a slight semi-circular, or a flattened "V" shape angled just enough to guide the water toward the center, where gravity may work to pull the water down and out of the garment through the plurality of perforations.
  • the bottom edge seam may be formed by for example using an adhesive to adhere the meeting surfaces of the vest portion and the bottom edge of the partial shrug portion.
  • the garment may comprise a shrug portion made out of a strong and flexible mesh-type material, or any other desired breathable material.
  • the material forming the shrug portion may be made from synthetic and/or natural fibers, and additionally, may contain elastic fibers to add elasticity to the material.
  • the sleeves of the garment may be attached to the shrug portion at the sleeve openings of the shrug portion.
  • the sleeves may be of any length desired for the garment, such as short, three-quarter, long, etc., and may be pieced together from different types of materials with differing properties such as elasticity, resiliency, and the like.
  • the garment may further comprise a longer vest portion over the shrug portion.
  • the shrug portion may be free-floating inside the vest portion except for the seams at the collar, the bottom edge, and the front edges of the shrug portion. Since in this garment construction, the sleeves are completely detached/free-floating from the stiffer vest portion at the sleeve openings of the vest portion, this construction may provide ventilation as well as enhanced range of motion in the shoulder are of a wearer, particularly when the wearer pulls his/her arms forward, or when a wearer lifts his/her arms above his/her shoulders.
  • a garment formed from a shrug component and a partial vest component may be provided.
  • the shrug component may comprise at least one front panel, at least one back panel, a right sleeve, and a left sleeve.
  • the vest component may comprise at least one front panel and at least one back panel, wherein the front and back panels may be affixed or attached to each other at left and right side seams, to form in part a right sleeve opening or sleeve opening and a left sleeve opening or sleeve opening.
  • the at least one front panel and the at least one back panel may be formed from a single piece of material.
  • the terms affixed or attached mean permanently joined to one another using affixing technologies known in the art such as stitching, bonding, welding, and the like.
  • the shoulder seams of the vest component may not be attached to each other but rather, they may be attached/seamed to front and back shoulder portions of the right sleeve and left sleeve of the shrug component when the vest component and the shrug component are assembled together to form the garment.
  • Further attachment points between the shrug component and the vest component may include the garment collar, a bottom edge of the shrug component, and in the case that the garment is a front opening jacket, at front edges of the garment where a releasable closing mechanism for the jacket may be provided.
  • the shrug component and the vest component may not be attached to each other at portions where the right sleeve and the left sleeve of the shrug component meet the sleeve opening edges of the vest component.
