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.

Upper body garments (10) (e.g., jackets, vests or the like) are provided having front (12) and back panels enclosing a torso region of a wearer. The back panel includes a cushion back panel (14) having an upper end attached to the front panel (12) at shoulder regions of the garment (10) and extending from the upper end thereof to a lower end positioned at or below a waist region of the wearer. A pull cord (50, 52) has one end operably connected to the lower end of the cushion back panel (14) and an opposite free end positioned near one of the shoulder regions of the garment (10) such that a pull force exerted on the latter when the cushion back panel (14) is in an unattached configuration causes the cushion back panel (14) to roll onto itself from the lower end thereof toward the upper end thereof and thereby form a cushion roll (60) at a neck region of the wearer.

Embodiments herein are jacket systems with interchangeable elements that can form a jacket with configurable or swappable components. For instance, a customizable jacket that includes components of the jacket system includes a jacket body, a sleeve-receiver fastener, and a waist-receiver fastener. The jacket body is configured to fasten into a closed configuration and to unfasten into an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the jacket body defines an inner space interior to the jacket body. The sleeve-receiver fastener is integrated with the jacket body at a shoulder of the jacket body and is configured to attach a detachable sleeve, such that the detachable sleeve is toollessly detachable from the body. The waist-receiver fastener is integrated with the jacket body along a lower portion of the body, and the waist-receiver fastener is configured to attach a detachable waistband, such that the detachable waistband is toollessly detachable from the body.

An adjustably positioned foam chin support maintains the chin in a position precluding or minimizing upper airway obstruction. The chin support is seated within a garment with a portion of the support extending above the garment neck for engaging the user's chin. A garment neckband includes tangentially extending tension cords. Each cord extends through an opening in a front panel of the garment. The ends of the cords are pulled to tension the neckband against the back of the user's neck and apply upward compressive force to position the chin support. A cord lock fixes the tension of the cords. A pair of pouches is affixed to the interior of the garment at the mid-clavicular lines, spaced below the cord openings. The lower corners of the chin support are seated in the pouches.

A power supply system includes a wearing part worn on a hand of a worker, a connecting member held by the wearing part, and a control circuit. The connecting member is disposed at a position where it is attached to a tool-side attachment part provided on a grip of a power tool when the worker grips the grip. The connecting member includes, in an exposed manner, a power source terminal that supplies electric power to the power tool and a signal terminal that receives a response signal from the power tool, which are electrically connected to the power tool in an attached state where the connecting member is attached to the tool-side attachment part. The control circuit makes the power source terminal and a power source unit electrically continuous when the signal terminal receives the response signal and makes them electrically discontinuous when the signal terminal receives no response signal.

A body monitoring sensor system is described and wherein a sensor module is attachable to a thermally insulated article of warmth, such as an article of apparel, having a thermal insulation of a known clo index value and wherein the sensor system has various sensors to produce various atmospheric and body condition signals to feed a computer having a processor. The processor is programmed to perform calculations to generate a output signals indicative of the corrective action required based on the protection offered by the clo index of the thermal insulation of the article of warmth and taking into account the calculated wind chill temperature and humidity as well as the wearer person's body temperature and humidity conditions to provide warmth and comfort to the user person under the actual atmospheric conditions.

A jacket includes a main jacket body and an active heating system. The main jacket body is adapted for covering at least part of the body of a user, and has a neck section adapted to be disposed proximate to the neck of the user, a waist section adapted to be disposed proximate to the waist and lower back of the user, and at least one abdomen section adapted to be disposed proximate to the abdomen of the user. The active heating system is disposed in the main jacket body, is adapted for generating and transferring heat to the user, and includes at least three heating units. Each of the heating units is disposed in a respective one of the neck section, the waist section and the abdomen section of the main jacket body.
