Elastic trims and articles incorporating the same, and also methods of manufacturing and processing elastic trims and articles incorporating the same, are provided. An elastic trim may include a base textile that is knitted or woven, and may further include cables that are movably positioned in tunnel structures located within the base textile, the cables having a lower stretch characteristic than the base textile. The cables may be secured and removed at certain locations, thereby imparting a variable stretch characteristic to the elastic trim. The elastic trims may be incorporated into various articles, including waistbands, apparel, footwear, and bags.

The present invention provides a cloth having different properties depending on regions, a cloth product comprising the cloth, and a method of producing the cloth product. The cloth of the present invention is characterized in that it includes a first region and a second region having a higher degree of fusion than the first region, wherein the first region includes a thermally fusible fiber and a fiber having a higher melting point than the thermally fusible fiber at a predetermined ratio. The cloth product of the present invention is characterized in that it includes the body made of the cloth, and the second region is positioned in a region requiring a greater strength than other regions.

The present invention relates to a denim-like fabric and jeans. In some embodiments, the invention relates to a denim-like knitted fabric.

A woven panel is provided that utilizes “grip” yarns in the weft direction in a first area to increase the coefficient of friction of the woven panel. The grip yarns are interlaced with a plurality of non-grip yarns to form a repeating pattern of floats on the woven panel, that when sewn into a garment, provide additional traction and friction for securing the garment to a wearer's body.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Users may collaborate while designing the apparel and designate what items should belong in specific collections.

A woven trim piece is provided that utilizes “grip” yarns in the warp direction to increase the coefficient of friction of the trim piece. The grip yarns are interlaced with a plurality of filling yarns to form a repeating pattern of floats on a first face of the trim piece, such that a high percentage of the first face of the trim piece comprises grip yarns.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The system guides how the user is allocating apparel items in the system, including feedback on what the user may like to change.

A system automatically generates apparel collection imagery from user-provided imagery. The user-provided imagery includes images of people wearing one or more garments. The system uses segmenting analysis to analyze the user-provided image to identify locations of the garment. From the locations of the garments, the system can determine which garments from an apparel collection can be used to replace those in the user-provided imagery. The system uses pose estimation on the user-provided imagery and modifies a preview image of a replacement garment from the collection. This modified replacement garment image is used to replace the garment in the user-provided imagery.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. As the user designs apparel, the system provides feedback as to what designs can be used, such as avoiding technical constraints with their designs.
