A fabric material with an electrode wiring includes: a fabric material body with stretchability; a first electrode portion that is disposed on a surface or in the interior of the fabric material body, and that includes a conductive linear body; a first wiring portion that is disposed on the surface or in the interior of the fabric material body so as to be electrically connected to the first electrode portion, and that includes a conductive linear body; a second electrode portion that is disposed on the surface or in the interior of the fabric material body, and that includes a conductive linear body; and a second wiring portion that is disposed on the surface or in the interior of the fabric material body so as to be electrically connected to the second electrode portion, and that includes a conductive linear body. In the fabric material with an electrode wiring, a resistance value between the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion is varied by stretching the fabric material with an electrode wiring.

Lightweight fabrics with a balance of high thermal properties, especially arc resistance and flash fire resistance, on the one hand, and durability and comfort properties, on the other hand, are disclosed. Articles, such as garments and linen, made from the lightweight fabrics are also disclosed. Spun yarns made with an intimate blend of fibers including flame resistant fiber, fire-resistant hydrophilic fibers, and a low level of anti-static fibers are described. The lightweight fabrics are particularly useful in garments for utility workers, industrial workers, military personnel, and firefighters.

A woven EMI sleeve has a wall with opposite edges extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The wall is wrapped about a central longitudinal axis into a tubular configuration bounding an enclosed cavity sized for receipt of an elongate member therein. The wall is woven with warp filaments extending generally parallel to the central longitudinal axis and weft filaments extending generally transversely to the warp filaments. The warp filaments include conductive filaments provided as wire filaments and separate non-conductive warp filaments. The weft filaments include heat-set filaments that are heat-formed to bias the wall into the tubular configuration and to bias opposite edges into overlapping relation with one another. The weft filaments also include conductive filaments.
