A multilayer fabric for selectively blocking or transmitting particular wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, such solar radiation, and far infrared (FIR) radiation. The multilayer fabric may include a microporous water vapor permeable layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths depending on the size of its pores. In some embodiments, the multilayer fabric may include a nanostructured layer that selectively filters particular wavelengths.

A tool allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs in three dimensions before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Based on a laser input file with a pattern, a laser will burn the pattern onto apparel. With the tool, the user will be able to create, make changes, and view images of a design, in real time, before burning by a laser. Input to the tool includes fabric template images, laser input files, and damage input. The tool allows adding of tinting and adjusting of intensity and bright point. The user can also move, rotate, scale, and warp the image input.

It is disclosed a garment (1) having an inner side (1a), and an outer side (1b) opposite to the inner side (1a), the garment (1) comprising one or more woven fabrics (2, 3), wherein at least two ends (2a, 3a) of different woven fabrics (2, 3) and/or two ends (2a, 3a) of the same woven fabric are seamed by means of one or more threads (4a) that form a stitch (4), wherein said stitch (4) is an overlock stitch (4) and it is arranged so that at least one of said thread (4a) is present on the inner side (1a) of the garment (1), and at least one of said thread (4a) is present on the outer side (1b) of the garment (1), the thickness (T1) of the stitch (4) on the inner side (1a) of the garment (1) is less than the thickness (T2) of the stitch (4) on the outer side (1b) of the garment (1).

Mesh fabric panels that provide a compressive force to a wearer's mid-section and tummy-covering garments equipped with the mesh fabric panels are disclosed. The mesh fabric panels can be formed of a material having a suitable rigidity for providing the compressive force. The mesh fabric panels include left and right panels adapted to be stitched or otherwise affixed to left and right front sections, respectively, of a garment such as a pant, a dress, a skirt, shorts, swimwear, or the like. Each of the left and right mesh fabric panels includes a seam side edge adapted to be affixed to a corresponding seam side of a tummy-covering garment, a fly side edge adapted to be affixed to a fly facing of the garment, a waist edge, and a bottom edge. The left and/or right mesh fabric panel may be a dual layer panel.

A thermal camouflage garment containing at least two zones, each zone containing a thermal camouflage fabric. The camouflage fabrics each contain a printed layer. In at least 90% of the wavelengths between 400-700 nm at least one of the first, second, and third color deltas are less than about 10 percentage points, and wherein at 1 μm and 2 μm and the average over 3-5 μm, average over 8-12 μm the first, at least one of the first, second, and third color deltas are greater than about 15 percentage points. The first zone makes up at least about 10% of the outer surface area of the thermal camouflage garment and the second zone makes up at least about 10% of the outer surface area of the thermal camouflage garment.

Separable articles of clothing such as trousers to allow for field removal of the lower portion of the trousers are disclosed while maintaining control of a duty belt attached to an upper portion. Two or more separate portions of trousers may be removably attached by an attachment mechanism, such as a zipper. The zipper can be unzipped to allow for restroom use without completely removing the trousers. This may be especially useful for first responders, or other professions requiring complex trousers and a need to maintain control of their duty belt and its contents at all times.
