A garment includes a first plurality of panels including a rigid material and a second plurality of panels including a stretch fabric material. According to an exemplary embodiment, the first plurality of panels are selectively positioned so as to correspond in location to desired anatomical regions of a wearer of the garment. According to an exemplary embodiment, the second plurality of panels are selectively positioned to facilitate independent movement of each of the first plurality of panels relative to one another.

Fabrics comprising regenerated cellulose fibers and a nanoparticle dispersed throughout the fabric are disclosed herein. The regenerated cellulose fibers can be derived from a biomass such as a fibrous cellulose, wood pulp, cotton, paper, bast fiber, bagasse, or a combination thereof. The nanoparticle included in the fabric can be chosen to confer a desirable property, such as a thermal insulating property, to the fabric. Methods of making the fabrics comprising the regenerated cellulose fibers and nanoparticle are also provided. The method can include (a) at least partially dissolving a cellulose substrate in a medium comprising one or more ionic liquids; and dissolving or suspending a nanoparticle in the medium; (b) recovering a solid nanoparticle-modified regenerated cellulose material comprising the cellulose substrate and the nanoparticle; and (c) processing the solid nanoparticle-modified regenerated cellulose material to form the fabric.

The disclosed embodiments provide a smart garment on which implemented designs can be changed in terms of color, image, text, etc. Also, a system is provided that comprises: a server for providing various designs to be implemented on a smart garment; and a user terminal that can change the design of the smart garment by receiving various designs from the server and transmitting same to the smart garment. The system according to the disclosed embodiments comprises: a server including a design database for a smart garment; a user terminal for downloading a design for the smart garment from the server; and the smart garment on which the design transmitted from the user terminal is implemented.

The present invention discloses a spacer fabric structured garment, which comprises a garment body, a plurality of filling cavities arranged in the garment body, and spacer fabrics arranged in the filling cavities, wherein the spacer fabrics comprise a plurality of dragging units, and the dragging units comprise an upper surface layer, a lower surface layer and a dragging part connected to one side of the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer which are close to each other. The present invention has the advantage that the spacer fabrics can be used to prevent the filling materials in the filling cavities from piling up.

A jersey is disclosed, which includes a first portion made of a first material, and a second portion bonded to the first portion. The first portion comprises a main fabric, which is adapted to cover at least a chest and a stomach of the user. The second portion is adapted to cover at least a part of a back of the user, and includes a peripheral sub-portion and a center sub-portion. The peripheral sub-portion is provided along a periphery of the second portion bonded to the first portion, and the center sub-portion is surrounded by the peripheral sub-portion. The peripheral sub-portion is made of a second material, which is more flexible and more breathable than the first material. Whereby, the jersey could better fit the body shape of the user.

A device and method for authorizing a color change of an apparel device is provided. The apparel device is configured to at least partially change a color state upon a change of power. A power supply is coupled to the apparel device and configured to control the power to the apparel device. A controller is coupled to the power supply and a communication interface. The controller is configured to: transmit, to an authenticating device, using the communication interface, a request for an authorization to change the color state of the apparel device; receive, from the authenticating device, using the communication interface, the authorization; and control the power supply to supply a given power to the apparel device, thereby changing the color state from a default color state to a given color state.

This invention provides improved printed heaters for use in wearable garments. The improvement comprises replacing the single large area resistive material layer with a number of small patches of resistive material, i.e., replacing the single large area heater with a number of smaller individual heaters. Printing of the resistive material is facilitated since the area of each resistive material patch is greatly reduced. In addition, some embodiments enable the opportunity to provide a breathable heater.

A protective glove includes a series of armor plates positioned on the glove to protect the portions of the hand that are typically exposed to nail impacts when using a nail gun, while leaving other portions of the glove uncovered so as to preserve freedom of movement. The glove includes a main portion having a wrist opening for inserting a human hand, an index finger portion extending from the main portion and a thumb portion extending from the main portion. A plurality of articulated armor plates is disposed at least along a radial surface of the main portion, a radial surface of the index finger portion and a radial surface of the thumb portion to protect those surfaces.

The disclosed embodiments provide a smart garment on which implemented designs can be changed in terms of color, image, text, etc. Also, a system is provided that comprises: a server for providing various designs to be implemented on a smart garment; and a user terminal that can change the design of the smart garment by receiving various designs from the server and transmitting same to the smart garment. The system according to the disclosed embodiments comprises: a server including a design database for a smart garment; a user terminal for downloading a design for the smart garment from the server; and the smart garment on which the design transmitted from the user terminal is implemented.

System of production, measurement, combination and sizes of fabric, of garments and of bags aiming at their completion by any person individually and rendering each garment, clothing and bag unique, using a system of size and design determination, according on the body type and the uniqueness of each person. The system is composed of pieces of garments, parts of garments, garments, fabrics and bags and has as a goal to cover the needs of each person, while characterized by a system of combination of changes, exchanges, lengthenings, replacements, shortenings, enlargements, removals/subtractions, extensions, transformations and modifications, with the connections of parts of garments or/and of fabrics being detached, and therefore used simultaneously in any change. Due to the present invention, each type of garment is adapted to more needs of the user, with the direct results, firstly, of the creation of parallel and multiple options of clothing, and secondly, of the saving of the purchase cost of a completed garment, since the user, according to the invention, purchases pieces or parts of a garment.
