A revolutionary garment is disclosed that fits precisely to a pregnant woman's evolving body shape. Using a bonded film band instead of traditional seamless shapewear provides superior support, strength and comfort. By adding a bonded front band, the legging has the support of a medical maternity belt with the clean sleek look of a performance legging.

A garment can include a body having arm openings. Sleeves can be removably mounted adjacent the arm openings. Each sleeve can have a shoulder end and a wrist end. The garment also can include a jacket configuration where the sleeves are removably mounted to the body at the arm openings. In this mode, the body can be worn as a jacket on a torso and arms of a user. The shoulder ends of the sleeves can be removably fastened to fasteners on the body located adjacent the arm openings. The garment can further include a vest/leggings configuration wherein the sleeves are unfastened and removed from the body. The body can be worn as a vest on the torso of the user such that the garment does not cover the arms of the user. Each sleeve can be worn as a legging on a respective leg of the user.

Substrates with transparency to infrared body radiation and opacity in the visible light spectrum are provided and systems and methods for creation thereof are provided. The IR radiation transparent substrate is IR radiation transparent and visible light opaque with enough breathability and softness to make it suitable for use in garments for body thermal regulation. Further, the IR radiation transparent substrate is created utilizing nanofiber technology to form specific sized micro pores between the nanofibers.

An article or garment comprising a micro hook-and-loop closure system is provided herein. The article comprises at least one extremity-covering portion. The distal end of the extremity-covering portion comprises a first textile at an outer-facing surface and a second textile at an inner-facing surface. The second textile includes micro hook or micro loop materials that releasably mate with complementary micro hook or micro loop materials of the first textile in order to place the micro hook-and-loop closure system in a closed configuration. The placement, size, and shape of each of the first and second textiles, as extending from a distal end toward a proximal end of the article, enable the article or garment to be expediently and comfortably donned and doffed.
