A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. As the user designs apparel, the system provides feedback as to what designs can be used, such as avoiding technical constraints with their designs.

The present disclosure provides articles of manufacture with improved moisture control as well as methods of making such articles. In some embodiments, provided herein the article has a fabric with an outer hydrophobic surface and an inner surface with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions where the hydrophilic regions can form a pattern, allowing moisture to collect and move through the pattern, and the hydrophobic regions prevent the whole inner surface from becoming moist and the outer hydrophobic regions does not show moisture. The fabric may be used to make garments. The entire inner surface of the garment may be patterned with hydrophilic patterns for partial absorption, and the entire outer surface of the garment is hydrophobic, thereby preventing perspiration from being seen from outside of the garment. Further provided herein are methods of making fabrics with improved moisture control including by printing or knitting.

An innovative high-energy oxidative method using metallic copper and chlorine liquid to produce a superior copper chloride II element using electromagnetic induction and magnetic forces. This invention involves copper undergoing oxidation while in its highest energy state according to basic principles of electromotive forces described in Faraday's law. The copper attaches to a magnetic receptacle and held in place by a copper lid cover. Research studies demonstrate that metallic copper is not magnetic; however, when a magnetic field approaches copper, the electrons and subatomic particles forms a higher resistance against the magnets—Generating a force field response towards the approaching magnets. The oxidation of copper in its highest energy state provides additional improvements and benefits in copper's antimicrobial and antiviral properties. This new method for oxidizing copper chloride in its highest subatomic energy state provides vast improvements and coverage in the fight against microorganisms and the invisible pathogens abroad.

A protective garment containing a composite which has an alternating pattern containing groupings of woven fabric and groupings of biaxially oriented thermoplastic films. The composite has a thickness of greater than about 5 mm. Each grouping of woven fabric contains at least one woven fabric layer, each woven fabric layer containing tape elements having a base layer of a strain oriented olefin polymer disposed between covering layers of a heat fusible olefin polymer. Each grouping of biaxially oriented thermoplastic films contain at least one biaxially oriented thermoplastic film which has a core layer of thermoplastic disposed between covering layers of a thermoplastic able to bond to polypropylene.

The insect protective garment system is formed as an elastic mesh structure. The elastic mesh structure of the insect protective garment system forms a fluid permeable barrier around a wearer. The elastic mesh structure of the insect protective garment system forms a barrier structure that prevents an insect from directly contacting the skin of the wearer. The insect protective garment system comprises a plurality of tubular textiles, a plurality of gussets, a plurality of gusset seams, a plurality of seams, a plurality of openings, and a plurality of slits. The plurality of slits are cut in the plurality of tubular textiles. The plurality of openings are formed in the plurality of tubular textiles. The plurality of gussets, the plurality of gusset seams, and the plurality of seams assemble the plurality of tubular textiles into a shirt, pants, and a hood that protect the wearer from an insect.

The present invention relates to a unique therapeutic garment that wraps around the torso of a patient with a chest related ailment or recovering from a chest related procedure such as, without limitation, a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or the like. The therapeutic garment comprises a web, band or tube-like post-surgical wrap having two opposite ends along the length of the garment, which are secured together over the torso of the user. The therapeutic garment further comprises two pockets that are attached to, or integrally formed with, the wrap garment, such that one pocket covers the left breast of the wearer and the other pocket covers the right breast. Each of the pockets has an opening therein for receipt of a hot pack, cold pack and/or therapeutic device to combat swelling, pain and the like.

The present invention relates generally to the field of garment fabrics. More specifically, the present invention relates to an insulated garment fabric device comprised of a front layer, a rear layer and a middle layer between the front and rear layer. The front and rear layers are preferably manufactured from a fabric material. The middle layer is preferably manufactured from an insulated material such as, but not limited to, biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate or heat conducting-foil. The front and rear layers may further be comprised of indicia and may be infused with a plurality of compounds. In addition, the device is comprised of a method of manufacture and use, wherein the device can be used to make garments and other objects such as, but not limited to: blankets.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a nonwoven textile that is sustainable and that sustainably manufactured. The subject matter may be sustainable in one or more respects. For example, the nonwoven textile may be manufactured from recycled materials. In other instances, the nonwoven textile is itself recyclable to produce additional or subsequent nonwoven articles. In addition, the manufacturing processes used to make the nonwoven textile may consume less energy than other manufacturing processes.

An article of apparel, which may be a pair of water shorts, may include a stretch woven textile. More particularly, a pelvic region and a pair of leg regions may include the stretch woven textile element. A waistband region may also include the stretch woven textile elements, or may be formed from a variety of other material elements. In order to limit stretch in the waistband region, a variety of waistband elements may be utilized. For example, the waistband elements may be (a) a layered structure with a textile layer and a polymer layer, (b) a layered structure joined with stitching, (c) a layered structure joined with bonds, or (d) a layered structure formed from a folded material element. In order to limit stretch in the waistband region, a tensile component may be utilized.
