Embodiments provide methods of assembling an apparel product. The methods include applying a composition to a portion of a major component of the apparel product or a portion of a minor component of the apparel product. The methods include coupling the portion of the minor component with the portion of the major component via the composition. The major component forms a base portion of the apparel product and is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The minor component forms a secondary portion that is configured to be coupled to the major component with an adhesive. The composition is cured to form the adhesive and the apparel product. The adhesive includes a polymer having a cyclodextrin moiety bonded to an azobenzene moiety.

Embodiments provide apparel products. The apparel products each include a major component forming a base portion of the apparel product. The major component is configured to be supported and worn at least partially over a portion of a wearer. The apparel product includes a minor component forming a secondary portion configured to be coupled to the major component. An adhesive is disposed at least partially between a portion of the major component and a portion of the minor component. The adhesive includes a polymer having a cyclodextrin moiety bonded to an azobenzene moiety.

Clothes includes: fabrics having a stretchability; and a joined part where the fabrics are fixed together using an adhesive. A difference between a stress of the joined part at 50% elongation in a longitudinal direction of the joined part and a stress of the fabrics fixed by the joined part at 50% elongation in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the joined part is within 30%.
