The present invention relates to a multi-layered elastic air-permeable material structure, including an elastic cloth and an elastic film, wherein the elastic cloth is constituted of polylactic acid, has a plurality of penetrating air vents, and has a weft-direction stretchability. The elastic film is constituted of a thermoplastic elastomer material, and it also has a plurality of penetrating air vents. An upper surface of the elastic film is entirely or partially adhered to a lower surface of the elastic cloth. In particular, the elastic film has an air permeability of 17-25 cc/sec per square centimeter, and the multi-layered elastic air-permeable material structure has an air permeability of 7-10 cc/sec per square centimeter. The present invention has the advantages of weft-direction stretchability and air permeability and is suitable for applying to close-fitting clothing or diapers to improve comfort and prevent sultriness and moisture.

An improved garment, such as a shirt, is provided that can comfortably grip a wearer's body and remain in place, even if the wearer is engaged in physical activity. A preferred fabric for garments in accordance with the invention is spandex, a polyether-polyurea copolymer also known as elastane. When is the garment is a shirt, the shirt cuffs can be provided with a band of silicone on the inner surface of the cuffs. The band can be formed as stripes, dots or patches to form a uniform gripping surface around the wearer's arm.

A garment is manufactured by printing an ink including at least five percent of a ceramic by weight onto a first side of a fabric portion to provide a fabric with a ceramic print, the ceramic print covering at least ten percent and less than ninety percent of the inside of the fabric portion, and incorporating the fabric with the ceramic print into a garment with the first side of the fabric portion on an inside of the garment such that the ceramic print is exposed on the inside of the garment. In addition, a garment includes a fabric panel having an inner, user-facing side and an outer side opposite the inner side, and a discontinuous printed layer disposed on the inner side of the fabric panel, the printed layer including a heat retaining material and a binder, where the heat retaining material is present in an amount effective to provide heat retention properties to the fabric panel.
