  • Layered garments may contain different functional regions that are accomplished through integration of a variety of discrete materials with a variety of manufacturing techniques to form each of the different functional regions. For example, separate portions of the layered garments may be individually cut from different material sources to eventually be stitched and or adhered together to form the layered garments.
  • Traditional lower body garments for men including shorts, pants, tights, leggings, underwear, and the like fit poorly around areas of the male anatomy including the genital region. The garments are either too loose and do not support or stabilize the genital region or are too tight and restrict motion or compress and pinch sensitive areas. The garments also come in a few standard sizes, therefore, poorly fit the body shape of most men. As a result, existing lower body garments are uncomfortable to wear especially during sports, yoga, and other active recreational activities. Accordingly, there is a well-established need for lower body garments that have engineered portions for supporting and stabilizing the male genital region. There is also a well-established need for the engineered portions to be flexible to fit properly on a variety of body shapes and sizes to ensure comfort across a wide range of activities.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • FIGS. 1-5 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of a layered garment 100. The layered garment 100 includes multiple layers that are combined to form a cohesive garment comprising one or more engineered portions that enable different areas of the layered garment to have unique performance characteristics. The layered garment 100 shown in FIGS. 1-5 is a pair of shorts but this is just one exemplary embodiment of the layered garment 100. In other embodiments, the layered garment 100 may be pants, tights, underwear, leggings, or any other garment worn over the lower portion of the body of the wearer.
  • FIGS. 1-3 illustrate the layers that may be included in the layered garment 100. FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of the layered garment 100, FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of the layered garment 100, and FIG. 3 illustrates a rear view of the layered garment 100. The layered garment 100 may include an outer layer 102 that forms the exterior of the layered garment 100. The outer layer 102 may be attached to an inner layer 104 to form a layered garment 100 that has an integrated inner layer 104. For example, the outer layer 102 and the inner layer 104 may be attached along a circular seam 110 positioned around the waist of the wearer just below the waistband 112 of the layered garment 100.
  • The outer layer 102 and the inner layer 104 may be sewn together using any known manufacturing techniques. The outer layer 102 and the inner layer 104 may be attached along the circular seam 110 so that one or more portions of the inner layer 104 are loose inside the outer layer 102. For example, the lower portion 106 of the inner layer 104 that covers the upper leg of the wearer just below the buttocks may be loose inside the outer layer 102 and the upper portion 108 of the inner layer 104 just below the circular seam 110 may also be loose inside the outer layer 102. Additional seams and or other points of attachment may also be used to attach the inner layer 104 to the outer layer 102 to make the inner layer 104 tight against the outer layer 102. For example, the upper portion 108 of the inner layer 104 and an adjacent portion of the outer layer 102 may be sewn together along a second seam located in the upper portion 108 so that the upper portion 108 of the inner layer 104 is tight against the outer layer 102 and the lower portion 106 of the inner layer 104 is loose inside the outer layer 102. The lower portion 106 of the inner layer 104 and an adjacent piece of the outer layer 102 may be sewn together along a third seam located in the lower portion 106 so that the lower portion 106 of the inner layer 104 is tight against the outer layer 102 and the upper portion 108 of the inner layer 104 is loose inside of the outer layer 102. The inner layer 104 and the outer layer 102 may also be joined together along the circular seam 110, the second seam, and the third seam, to make the entire outer surface of the inner layer 104 tight against the inner surface of the outer layer 102.
  • The inner layer 104 and the outer layer 102 may both be configured to dynamically adapt to the shape of the body of the wearer as the wearer moves. The inner layer 104 and outer layer 102 may also be configured to wick moisture away from the skin of the wearer to enhance comfort. The inner layer 104 may be a breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. For example, the inner layer 104 may be a combination of polyester and lycra and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, the inner layer 104 comprises at least 70% polyester and up to 30% lycra. For example, the inner layer 104 may comprise between 75%-79% polyester and between 21%-25% lycra. In one embodiment, the inner layer 104 comprises 79% polyester and 21% lycra.
  • The outer layer 102 may be a breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. For example, the outer layer 102 may be a combination nylon and lycra and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, the outer layer 102 comprises at least 80% nylon and up to 20% lycra. For example, the outer layer 102 may comprise between 85%-89% nylon and between 15%-11% lycra. In one embodiment, the outer layer 102 comprises 88% nylon and 12% lycra.
  • The waistband 112 may configured to hold the layered garment around the waist of the wearer. The waistband 112 may also be configured to dynamically adapt to the shape of the body of the wearer as the wearer moves. The waistband 112 may be a non-slip, breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. For example, the waistband 112 may be a combination of nylon and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, the waistband 112 comprises at least 80% nylon. For example, the waistband 112 may comprise between 90%-99% nylon. In one embodiment, the waistband 112 comprises 100% nylon.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an exploded view of the layered garment 100 including the outer layer 102 and the inner layer 104. The inner layer 104 includes one or more engineered regions 206. The engineered region 206 may be positioned, for example, in a middle section of the front of the inner layer 104 (i.e., a front middle section of the inner layer 104). The engineered region 206 may include a pocket 202 and a liner 204 that fits around the exterior of the pocket 202. The engineered region 206 may be configured to hold, secure, and support one or more areas of the body of the wearer of the layered garment 100. For example, the engineered region 206 may be configured to hold, secure, and support the genital region of a male wearer of the layered garment 100.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an overhead view of the layered garment 100 including the inner layer 104 and the outer layer 102. The overhead view shows the inside of the layered garment 100 (i.e., the inner surface of the inner layer 104). The overhead view also shows the inner surface of the engineered region 206. The engineered region 206 may be formed by combining the pocket 202 and the liner 204 using any known manufacturing technique (e.g., sewing, stitching, gluing, and the like). For example, the pocket 202 may be sewn on to the outer surface of the liner 204. The engineered region 206 may be attached to the inner layer 104 of the layered garment 100 using any known manufacturing technique (e.g., sewing, stitching, gluing, and the like). For example, the inner surface of the liner 204 opposite the pocket 202 may be sewn onto the outer surface of the inner layer 104 so that the front surface of liner 204 and the pocket 202 are between the inner layer 104 and the outer layer 102 of the layered garment 100. To facilitate attaching the engineered region 206, the inner layer 104 may include an opening and the liner 204 may be attached to the inner layer 104 around the opening so that the opening in the inner layer 104 is covered by the pocket 202 when the engineered region 206 is attached to the inner layer 104. The pocket 202 may also be integrated into the inner layer 104 of the layered garment 100 so that the pocket 202 and the inner layer 104 are formed from the same piece of material. To accommodate the integrated pocket 202, the liner 204 may be attached to the inner surface of the inner layer 104 and the liner 204 may be positioned around the perimeter of the pocket 202.
  • FIGS. 6-7 are diagrams showing additional details of the liner 204. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the pieces of material included in the layered garment 100. The pocket 202 may be formed from one piece of material and the liner 204 and be formed from multiple pieces of material that partially overlap to form an opening that may be used to access the inside of the pocket 202. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a magnified view of the engineered region 206 shown in the diagram of FIG. 6 . When the layered garment is worn by a male wearer, the male wearer access the pocket 202 through an opening in a middle portion of the liner 204 to deposit the genital region (i.e., the penis and scrotum) of the wearer inside the pocket 202. The wearer wraps the liner 204 around the genital region with the genital region inside the pocket 202 to secure the genital region inside the pocket 202.
  • The liner 204 may include two or more curved portions (i.e., the left panel 402 and the right panel 404). The curved portions may overlap and or partially overlap to form a layered material. The left panel 402 may form the left side of the liner 204 and the right panel 404 may form the right side of the liner 204. The left panel 402 and the right panel 404 may each be formed from a curved piece of material. The left panel 402 and the right panel 404 may partially overlap at an upper overlap region 412 and a lower overlap region 414 to form a curved opening in the center portion of the liner 204 between the upper overlap region 412 and the lower overlap region 414. To provide the curved opening and support the male genital region, the sides of the upper overlap region 412 and the side of the lower overlap region 414 may be curved. The left panel 402 and the right panel 404 form a seal around the male genital region that ensures the male genital region is secure inside the pocket 202 and will not fall out of the pocket 202 when the wearer stretches or moves (i.e., bends, squats, stretches, runs, and the like). The lower overlapping portion 414 is placed behind the scrotum of the male genital region when the liner 204 is wrapped around the genital region inside the pocket 202 to provide support for the scrotum and maximize comfort by ensuring the scrotum or other area of the genital region is not compressed or pinched. The lower overlapping portion 414 may include a dart 406 or other structure that shapes the pocket 202.
  • The right panel 402 and the left panel 404 of the liner 204 may be a breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. The right panel 402 and the left panel 404 may also be a high-density gauze mesh material that is stretchable and highly elastic to provide a strong seal around the genital region that secures the genital region inside the pocket 202. For example, the right panel 402 and the left panel 404 may be a combination nylon and lycra and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, the right panel 402 and the left panel 404 comprises at least 90% nylon and up to 10% lycra. For example, the right panel 402 and the left panel 404 may comprise between 90%-95% nylon and between 5%-10% lycra. In one embodiment, the right panel 402 and the left panel 404 comprises 92% nylon and 8% lycra.
  • FIGS. 8-9 illustrate additional details of the pocket 202. FIG. 8 shows a side view of the pocket 202 and FIG. 9 shows a detailed view of the pocket 202. The pocket 202 may have an irregular shape that includes a rectangular section 502 at the top portion of the pocket 202 and a curved section 504 at the bottom portion of the pocket 202. The rectangular section 502 and the curved section 504 may connect at an angle 506. The shape of the pocket 202 including the rectangular section 502, the curved section 504, and the angle 506 ensures the pocket 202 fits the genital region of the male anatomy. For example, when the wearer puts on the layered garment, the rectangular section 502 may be configured to receive the shaft of the penis of the wearer. The rectangular shape of the rectangular section 502 may be configured to fit the shape of the shaft and secure and support the shaft of the penis inside the rectangular section 502. To provide personalized clothing, the length and or width of the rectangular section 502 may also be modified to fit the genital region of a particular wearer. The dimensions (i.e., length and width) of the rectangular section 502 may also be based on the dimensions of the shaft of an average and or typical male having the body size (i.e., height and weight) to fit a particular size of the layered garment. For example, the dimensions of the rectangular section 502 for a size small version of the layered garment may be based on the dimensions of the shaft of a typical male having a body size that fits the size small version of the layered garment.
  • The curved section 504 of the pocket 202 may be configured to receive the scrotum and testicles of the wearer when the wearer puts on the layered garment (i.e., places his genital region inside pocket 202 and seals the genital region inside the garment by wrapping the liner 204 around the genital region). The curved shape of the curved section 504 may be configured to fit the shape of the scrotum and secure and support the scrotum and testicles inside the curved section 504. To provide personalized clothing, the diameter, circumference, and or angle of curvature of the curved section 504 may be modified to fit the genital region of a particular wearer. The dimensions (i.e., diameter, circumference, and or angle of curvature) of the curved section 504 may also be based on the dimensions of the scrotum and or testicles of an average and or typical male having the body size (i.e., height and weight) to fit a particular size of the layered garment. For example, the dimensions of the curved section 502 for a size small version of the layered garment may be based on the dimensions of the scrotum and or testicles of a typical male having a body size that fits the size small version of the layered garment.
  • The angle 506 that connects the rectangular section 502 and the curved section 504 may be configured to match the angle between the shaft of the penis and scrotum and or testicles of a wearer of the layered garment. To provide personalized clothing, the number of degrees relative to a perpendicular axis 508 of the angle 506 may be modified to fit the genital region of a particular wearer. The dimensions (i.e., the number of degrees relative to a perpendicular axis 508) of the angle 506 may also be based on the dimensions of the angle between the penis shaft and the scrotum and or testicles of an average and or typical male having the body size (i.e., height and weight) to fit a particular size of the layered garment. For example, the dimensions of the angle 506 for a size small version of the layered garment may be based on the dimensions of the angle between the penis shaft and the scrotum and or testicles of a typical male having a body size that fits the size small version of the layered garment.
  • The curved portion 504 may also have a dart 406 that increases the depth of the pocket. As shown in FIG. 9 , the dart 406 may be a stitched seam or other structure sewn or otherwise attached to a middle section of the bottom surface of the curved portion 504. For example, the dart 406 may bisect the bottom surface of the curved portion 504 to divide the curved portion into two areas 602. In some embodiments, the dart 406 bisects the bottom surface of the curved portion 504 at the middle of the curved portion 504 so that the size of each of the two areas 602 on either side of the dart 406 is the same. The dart 406 may also bisect the bottom surface of the curved portion closer to one side of the curved portion 504 so that one of the two areas 602 is larger than the other. The dart 406 may have a length between 0.5 inches (in) and 3 in to create at least between 0.5 in and 3 in of depth inside the pocket 202. For example, in one embodiment, the dart 406 has a length of 2 in and creates at least 2 in of depth inside the pocket 202. The dart 406 provides a structure to the pocket 202 that ensures the depth of the pocket 202 is equivalent to at least the length of the dart 406. The dart 406 thereby creates an additional space in the pocket 202 to ensure the pocket 202 is large enough to receive and contain the entire genital region of the wearer.
  • The pocket 202 may be configured to dynamically adapt to the shape of the body of the wearer as the wearer moves. To enhance comfort, the pocket 202 may also be configured to wick moisture away from the genital region of the wearer. The material of the pocket 202 may have a distinctively soft feel that prevents chafing, rubbing, or other discomfort during sustained contact between the pocket 202 and the genital region and other sensitive areas of the body of the wearer. The pocket 202 may be a breathable, stretchable, lightweight, and or comfortable material comprised of a blend of one or more fabrics. For example, the pocket 202 may be a combination of polyester and lycra and or any other synthetic and or natural material. In one embodiment, the inner layer 104 comprises at least 70% polyester and up to 30% lycra. For example, the inner layer 104 may comprise between 75%-79% polyester and between 21%-25% lycra. In one embodiment, the inner layer 104 comprises 79% polyester and 21% lycra.
