An on-demand manufacturing of apparel system includes online customization and ordering of garments, previewing of the garments, manufacturing including laser finishing of garments, and delivery to the customer. Laser finishing of apparel products reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduces product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Fabric templates can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

A drinking bladder jacket apparatus for convenient beverage storage and drinking includes a jacket having a jacket body, a pair of sleeves coupled to the jacket body, and an inner lining. A bladder pocket is coupled to the inner lining. A bladder is coupled within the bladder pocket. The bladder has a fill port and a release port extending into a bladder inside that holds a beverage. A cap is selectively engageable with the fill port to seal or unseal the bladder inside. A drinking tube is coupled to the bladder and extends either through one of the sleeves of the jacket or through a hood portion of the jacket if present. A valve is coupled to the drinking tube to restrict or allow the flow of the beverage.

A garment for shaping a form of its wearer includes a front panel and a back panel coupled to one another at first and second seams. The front panel comprises self-lining material in each of a bottom portion and a pectoral portion and compression layer material in a torso portion of the front panel. The back panel includes a first arcuate portion of compression layer material along the first seam and a second arcuate portion of compression layer material along the second seam. Lining material extends from an upper portion of the back panel to a bottom portion of the back panel and is coupled to the two arcuate portions such that the two arcuate portions are separated by the lining material. The compression layer material has a higher elastic modulus than a respective elastic modulus of the lining material.
