A method of manufacturing an enhanced, 3D, hand-shaped glove includes placing a seamless textile glove shell onto a laminating form, placing a solid laminate preform onto the glove shell, and applying pressure at an elevated temperature to laminate the preform to the glove shell. A platen or roller press can apply pressure to a glove shell on a flat surface of a laminating form, or a bladder or vacuum bag press can apply pressure to a glove shell on a curved surface of a laminating form. Edge peel resistance can be enhanced by extending the perimeter of a low modulus upper preform layer beyond underlying layers and bonding it directly to the glove shell. Fingers of the laminating form can be made wide and thin to cause warping of the preform about the glove fingers, or narrow and thick to minimize distortion of the finger shapes due to the preform.

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. The system guides how the user is allocating apparel items in the system, including feedback on what the user may like to change.

This present patent application discloses a glove designed to facilitate comfort while preventing fist clenching, arthritic pain, and hand cramps, and secures conveniently to the hand and wrist via adjustable hook and loop fastener straps. The invention also features a netting or attachment area integrated into a portion of the glove which is capable of supporting and holding therapeutic aids while the user is asleep or to help involuntary muscle contractions. The netting area allows the wearer to squeeze the therapeutic aid if needed, and prevents the user from clenching their hand into a fist while sleeping, minimizing the effects of PTSD, arthritis, etc. in the hands and joints.

A female two-piece swimsuit (1) with a lower halfsuit (3) forming a tubular first trunk portion (5) having an upper slip-in aperture (6) and two tubular thigh portions (8) joining each other in a first crotch portion (9), and with an upper halfsuit (2) forming a second tubular trunk portion (11) having two leg apertures (12), a second crotch portion (13) extending between the two lower leg apertures (12), a neck opening (14) opposite the second crotch portion (13) and two lateral shoulder openings (15), wherein the upper halfsuit (2) is slipped over the lower halfsuit (3) so that the thigh portions (8) of the lower halfsuit portion (3) extend through the lower leg apertures (12) of the upper halfsuit (2) on the outside of the upper halfsuit (2) and, in an overlap region (15), the second trunk portion (11) externally wraps the first trunk portion (5) and the second crotch portion (13) externally wraps the first crotch portion (9), wherein the upper and lower halfsuits (2, 3) are in slidable contact to each other in said overlap region (15).

A protective garment system including a bib configured to fit around at least part of an upper portion of a torso of a wearer. The bib includes an outer material and a particulate-blocking material which is configured to be positioned between the outer material and a wearer when the bib is worn. The bib has a perimeter and is configured to be releasably attached to a pair of trousers about the perimeter.

A garment has an excellent feel as well as cold protective properties and waterproof breathable performance. The garment includes a multi-layer woven fabric comprising a face-side fabric, a back-side fabric, a filling packed between the face-side fabric and the back-side fabric, and a waterproof breathable membrane, the face-side fabric and the back-side fabric being woven together to form the multi-layer woven fabric, the waterproof breathable membrane being provided on one surface of the multi-layer woven fabric.

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. The system swaps garments in a digital asset to garments that are designed using the system.

Users may collaborate while designing the apparel and designate what items should belong in specific collections.

An insulating garment for use as thermal and moist repellent barrier in a firefighter bunker gear is disclosed, the garment being adapted to be worn by a firefighter under a bunker gear. The garment being made from a fire-resistant insulating fabric comprising: a first woven or knitted fire-resistant fabric layer; a second woven or knitted fire-resistant fabric layer; and at least one monofilament yarn interconnecting the first and second layers, thereby creating an insulating space between the layers. Each monofilament yarn is made of a material having a compressive strength from about 0.5 to about 2.5 cN.Math.cm/cm.sup.2 and a resilience superiors or equals to about 25% to maintain the insulating space between the layers and therefore thermal and moist insulation. Preferably, the material further has a high melting point and/or high transition temperatures. The material of the monofilament yarn may comprise polyphenylene sulphide (PPS), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or Polyetherimide (ULTEM™).
