Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. A technique includes using machine learning to create or extract a laser input file for wear pattern from an existing garment. Machine learning can be by a generative adversarial network, having generative and discriminative neural nets. The generative adversarial network is trained and then used to create a model. This model is used generate the laser input file from an image of the existing garment with the finishing pattern. With this laser input file, a laser can re-create the wear pattern from the existing garment onto a new garment.

A jacket includes a first back flap, a main body including a front portion and second back flap, and a pair of sleeves. The first back flap and the second back flap are detachably connectable to one another to selectively open and close an opening on the back side of the jacket. The first back flap may include a first connector disposed on an upper end of the first back flap and the second back flap may include a second connector disposed on an upper end of the second back flap, the first connector and the second connector being detachably connectable to one another to facilitate the opening and closing of the opening in the jacket. The jacket may also include a hood detachably connectable to a collar on the first back flap.

A video recording device, holster and article of clothing are disclosed to reliably and covertly provide for the capture of video, audio, and metadata, and perform other commands. The holster may be provided with a carrier that is, in turn, inserted into the holster. In one embodiment, the holster may be confirmed as being associated with the video recording device to authenticate a user, and establishes a docked position. Moreover, the video recording device may enter a mode of operation associated with using the video recording apparatus automatically when inserted into a holster.

Fabric materials are disclosed that have been treated with a water resistant and antimicrobial treatment. The water resistant and antimicrobial treatment includes a combination of a durable water resistant composition and an antiviral composition. Protective garments can be made from the fabric that provide protection against airborne pathogens by preventing penetration through the fabric material and by destroying any pathogens that land upon the fabric.

Relating to a multi-component garment including a first outer component, provided with first fixing; a second inner component for providing protection against knocks and/or falls, provided with second fixing; and a third, inner, thermal insulation component provided with third fixing. The first, second and third fixing are designed to cooperate with each other so as to allow selective mutual fixing of at least: (a) the first outer component and the second inner component, (b) the first outer component and the third inner component and (c) the first outer component, the second inner component and the third inner component to each other.
