A garment includes a first material layer including a first surface, a second material layer laminated to the first material layer, where the second material layer includes a second surface, and a laminate material disposed in a non-continuous manner between the first and second surfaces of the first and second material layers. An amount of laminate material disposed between the first and second material layers varies at different zones defined along the first surface of the first material layer. The laminate material can be applied via a dot lamination process so as to form an array of laminate dots that varies by one or more of spacing between laminate dots, dimensions of laminate dots and shapes of laminate dots at the different zones.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth, a multilayered cloth, and a textile product, which have flame retardancy and heat insulation and develop a relief structure when exposed to flame or heat. As a means for resolution, a cloth characterized in that a yarn A having a high thermal shrinkage rate and a yarn B having a low thermal shrinkage rate are alternately arranged in the warp direction or weft direction is obtained, then, as necessary, a multilayered cloth is obtained using the cloth as an intermediate layer, and further, as necessary, a textile product is formed using the multilayered cloth.

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 durable lower body garment (1) formed of a plurality of fabric panels (17, 19, 21, 23, 25) and having an inner surface for facing towards the wearer and an outer surface for facing away from the wearer, the plurality of fabric panels defining a waist opening and a pair of leg openings (11, 13). The garment comprises a front fabric panel (17) and at least one further fabric panel, the front fabric panel (17) and the at least one further fabric panel being joined along their lateral edges to define the waist opening including a waist edge (31), each of the front fabric panel (17) and the at least one further fabric panel extending from the waist edge (31) to at least a crotch region of the garment, and wherein each of the front fabric panel (17) and the at least one further fabric panel is formed of an elastically stretchable fabric. The front fabric panel (17) defines from 10% to 60% of a length of the waist edge (31) and the at least one further fabric panel defines from 40% to 90% of the length of the waist edge (31), as measured when the garment is in its unworn state. The front fabric panel (17) is folded along the waist edge (31) to define a front waist hem (33) at the inner surface of the garment and the at least one further fabric panel is folded along the waist edge (31) to define a further waist hem (35) at the inner surface of the garment, the front waist hem (33) and the further waist hem (35) each having a depth of at least 15 mm. The front waist hem (33) and the further waist hem (35) are ungathered when the garment is in the unworn state. An elongation under a load of 3.6 kg exhibited by the front waist hem (33), in a direction about the waist opening, is at least 10% greater than an elongation under a load of 3.6 kg exhibited by the further waist hem (35), in a direction about the waist opening.

Laminates providing a simultaneous benefit of desirable breathability and puncture resistance are provided. The laminates include a nonwoven fabric and a vapor-permeable and liquid impermeable (VPLI) film bonded to the nonwoven fabric by an adhesive layer that is located between the nonwoven fabric and the VPLI film. The VPLI film has (i) a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of at least about 2000 Mocon or g/m.sup.2/24 hours as determined according to EDNA/INDA Worldwide Strategic Methods: WSP 70.4(08) and/or (ii) a puncture resistance of at least about 5 N as determined according to UNI EN 863:1997+UNI EN 14325:2005 Par. 4.10+UNI EN 13034:2009 Par. 4.1 with test conditions of (20+/−2)° C. at (65+/−4)% U.R. with an extension rate of 100 mm/min.
