A garment having an outer surface not designed for writing has at least one rewritable area comprising a layer of rewritable material deposited directly onto a selected region of the outer surface. One or more permanent artworks may be deposited onto the garment prior to deposit of the rewritable layer, which may be contiguous or non-contiguous. A stencil is provided for allowing a user to write on rewritable areas while protecting adjacent areas of the garment. In one method for forming the rewritable area, a first portion of a permanent artwork and a second portion of the permanent artwork are successively deposited on the garment, followed by curing the permanent artwork and depositing a rewritable area on the garment.

An end cover to be attached to an end of a string is provided. The end cover includes a finger-hooking projecting portion having a first finger-hooking face, and a base portion having a second finger-hooking face, and the second finger-hooking face is provided at a position to suppress a rotation of the end cover as a support point of the first finger-hooking face when a pulling force acts on the string using the first finger-hooking face.

A baby carrier T-shirt comprises a front part (12) and a rear part (51) arranged to form the body of the T-shirt (11); wherein the T-shirt comprises a first vertical strap (13) and a second vertical strap (14) arranged along the front part of the T-shirt (12) and joined to the T-shirt (11) from the area of the shoulders towards the lower end of the T-shirt (11); and a frontal vertical layer (15) arranged along the front part (12) and below the first and second strap (12, 13); the frontal vertical layer (15) being joined to the T-shirt by both vertical ends of the area of the chest of the T-shirt (11). The vertical frontal layer is removable by at least one upper end so that a removable joining zone is defined at a first outer edge of the upper portion of the T-shirt and at a second outer edge opposite the first edge, by sewing technique forms an outer edge seam, which can be gathered.

The invention concerns an arrangement and a method for configuring equipment for personal performance monitoring comprising at least one carrier item having a mounting zone for receiving a communication module, one or more sensors and/or actuators and a first processing unit functionally connected to said mounting zone and said sensors and/or actuators. The first processing unit is configured to process sensor signals from the sensors and/or actuators and to communicate with a communication module that is mounted on the mounting zone of the carrier item and having a second processing unit configured to further process said sensor/actuator signals and to communicate processed signals to a remote device over a wireless communication protocol. A remote device is adapted to provide a predefined code to configure the equipment to process sensor or actuator signals according to a use of said carrier item as identified by said predefined code.

Systems or methods for anatomy patterning a garment are provided. Anatomy patterning is any deliberate manipulation of a garment's pattern in order to change the perceived shape of a wearer of the garment toward a desired appearance. Additionally, the garments that result from use of these systems and methods for anatomy patterning are also provided.

A removable attachment system for temporarily attaching a portable pocket to an object made of fabric such as clothing, bag, or the like. The system comprises an outer part placed on the front side of the host fabric and an inner part placed on the back side of the host fabric in a manner such that the host fabric is compressed between the two parts thereby securing the two parts in place. The portable pocket being bound to the outer part is thereby quickly and easily attached to any location on the host object requiring no temporary or permanent modification to the host object and affecting no permanent alteration to the host object upon removal of the portable pocket.

The present invention provides a system for accurate three-dimensional (3D) capture of apparel by 3D scanning and stereo photogrammetry. One or more flexible deflated bladders are inserted into an apparel and inflated by a filling media source. The bladder is inflated to measure at least one of size of the apparel, tensile strength of the fabric of the apparel, or cross section perimeter of the apparel. A rotating structure is anchored onto the stable structure to uniformly rotate all the fixed points of the apparel. One or more 3D scanners are configured to scan the inflated apparel on the stable structure and export the scanned data to one or more software applications. The processor retrieves the 3D scanned dimensional data from a searchable database and compares the given apparel's dimensions with one or more apparels' dimensions in the database to provide the customer with size recommendation via a display.

A system and method which allows for a pre-constructed article of clothing to having printing on substantially all of its external surface area. Specifically, an image may be simultaneously printed across multiple components of a clothing article. The method generally provides for transfer of a digital image, such as a digital photograph, to be applied to an article of clothing in a manner that prints an entire two-dimensional surface of the clothing with a coherent image that maintains coherency when the article of clothing is worn. There is also provided an article of clothing produced using the systems and methods.
