A garment structure for making a base layer or midlayer jersey for sporting activities that includes a first tubular element that corresponds to both the front and the rear zone of the torso and a second tubular element that affects arms, shoulders and part of the torso in which both the first element and the second are obtained with circular machines making a knitted fabric that provides different processing that enable functional and structural features to be given to the knitted fabric and to the garment. In particular, the first tubular element has a cylindrical conformation with a lower edge that bounds the length of the jersey and an upper end divided into a pair of profiles: a first profile defined, laterally, by the line of the sides and a second profile that leads away from the line of the sides continuing the first profile with a trapezium configuration.

Examples of a sleeve for a garment are disclosed. The sleeve comprises an outer panel attached along respective side edges thereof to form an outer sleeve and an inner panel attached along respective side edges thereof to form an inner liner of the sleeve. The inner liner and the outer sleeve are attached at least along respective edges of their respective lower ends forming a hand opening. An elastic band is attached to the inner liner proximate a wrist area of the sleeve and is spaced apart from the outer sleeve. The elastic band is configured to draw the inner liner into contact with and hug a wrist area of the wearer while the outer layer is loosely fitted around the wrist area of the wearer.

A process for making a garment, provided at least with a trunk (T), a right sleeve (MD) and a left sleeve (MS), includes the steps of: producing a tubular textile article (3), by means of a textile machine, having a shape with cylindrical surface extended around a central axis (X) between an upper edge (4) and a lower edge (5), wherein on the tubular textile article a front side (6) and a rear side (7) are definable, divided from each other with respect to a median plane (A); defining or identifying the textile article a plurality of cutting lines; cutting the textile article along the plurality of cutting lines so as to define and separate a plurality of fabric portions from one another; joining the fabric portions so as to obtain the trunk (T) of the garment, the right sleeve (MD) and the left sleeve (MS). Following the joining step, the garment (1) obtained from the tubular textile article exhibits zones of passage between the trunk (T) and the right (MD) and left (MS) sleeves lacking seams or discontinuities in the fabric, i.e. the passage from the fabric of the trunk to the fabric of the right and left sleeves occurs without interruptions.

A wearable airfoil garment for reducing the cyclist aerodynamic drag. A garment material is elastically tethered between two or more anchor locations on the garment. The anchor locations are positioned and arranged to form transient, self-adaptive, body-conforming airfoil surfaces on the garment. The self-adjustment of the airfoil surfaces preserves the cyclist's comfort as well as the aerodynamic efficiency. The airfoil surfaces change in a body-conforming manner in response to the movements of a person wearing the garment. The aerodynamic performance of the garment is adjustable to the preference of the wearer. Garment airfoils constructed with seams suitably placed to trigger transition of boundary layers.

A garment includes a waistband having a first layer and a second layer. The first layer includes a concealed surface and an exposed surface. The exposed surface of the first layer configured to be in contact with a skin of a wearer. The second layer includes a concealed surface and an outer portion. The second layer secured to the first layer at an upper and a lower end to form the waistband. The garment further includes a first layer of polymer disposed on the concealed surface of the first layer and a second layer of polymer material disposed on the concealed surface of the second layer such that the first layer releasably engages the second layer.
