3D Digital Imaging Technology for Apparel Sales and Manufacture

A manufacturing flow of apparel such as jeans uses a laser to finish the products. The products are designed using a digital design tool, where photorealistic previews are generated in three dimensions and two dimensions. Imagery of the products are sent to retailers where customers can order the products, such as online orders. Imagery of the products are sent to factories where the products are finished. Based on the imagery, the factories make adjustments to the processes as needed so that the actual products will have an appearance as in the received imagery. As orders are received by the retailers, the factories can manufacture the desired products on demand, and the products can be delivered to customers.

The present invention relates to a method for joining a first protective material (10) together with a second protective material (20) consisting of a thermally insulating fabric having a mesh configuration. The method comprises the steps of: providing a plurality of separate gluing points (30) on an inner surface (14) of the first protective material (10); hot-pressing the second protective material (20) onto the first protective material (10), in order to melt the plurality of separate gluing points (30), so as to firmly fix the second protective material (20) to the first protective material (10). The present invention relates furthermore to a protective garment, in particular for motorcyclists, comprising an article made using this method.

Fire resistant garments containing a high lubricity thermal liner

Protective garments are disclosed having an inner lining with high lubricity and high strength characteristics. The inner lining, in one embodiment, contains spun yarns combined with para-aramid multifilament yarns. The spun yarns may also contain flame resistant fibers, such as meta-aramid fibers, FR cellulose fibers, or mixtures thereof. The para-aramid filament yarns provide excellent strength characteristics to the fabric. In addition, in some embodiments, the multifilament yarns may enhance the fire resistant properties of the fabric. In one embodiment, the para-aramid filament yarns may have less than five twists per inch, such as from about 1 twist per inch to about four twists per inch.
