Protective combat clothing (PCC) may include a shirt and trousers, wherein the shirt and the trousers are at least partially made of woven fabric made of a composition of the materials comprising flame-resistant fiber, flame-resistant meta-aramid fiber, heat-resistant fiber, polyamide and anti-static fiber.

A portion of a bra, such as a bra wing or bra cup, includes a double-faced fabric made with a polyurethane-based elastomer yarn. A silicone pattern is printed on a first face of the fabric, and at least partially penetrates the first face. In a first zone on the first face of the fabric, the printed silicone pattern has a first surface density, and in a second zone it has a second surface density. The first surface density imparts a first elastic modulus to the fabric in the first zone, while the second surface density imparts a second elastic modulus to the fabric in the second zone that is different than the first elastic modulus. A plurality of zones can be provided in order to provide a smoothing and/or support effect to the portion of the bra.

A two sock system, including an inner sock, and an outer sock surrounding the inner sock, wherein the inner sock and the outer sock include a support band system that prevents movement of the inner sock relative to the outer sock. A method of preventing movement between an inner sock and outer sock in a two sock system, by preventing movement of the inner sock on a user's foot, and preventing movement of the outer sock on the inner sock, wherein the inner sock and outer sock are unattached.

A portion of a bra, such as a bra wing or bra cup, includes a double-faced fabric made with a polyurethane-based elastomer yarn. A silicone pattern is printed on a first face of the fabric, and at least partially penetrates the first face. In a first zone on the first face of the fabric, the printed silicone pattern has a first surface density, and in a second zone it has a second surface density. The first surface density imparts a first elastic modulus to the fabric in the first zone, while the second surface density imparts a second elastic modulus to the fabric in the second zone that is different than the first elastic modulus. A plurality of zones can be provided in order to provide a smoothing and/or support effect to the portion of the bra.

A garment is configured to be worn over a thigh of an individual for protecting the thigh from irritation due to facing surfaces of the thighs of the individual bearing or rubbing against each other. The garment includes an elastic tubular member having a dimension smaller than a length of the thigh of the individual, having a circumference smaller than the circumference of at least a portion of the thigh of the individual, having a top and a bottom, and having an elastic characteristic. The garment also includes gripping member(s) along an inner circumference of the elastic tubular member. Methods of making the garment are also provided.

A durable lower body garment is provided that is formed of a plurality of fabric panels and has 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. The garment comprises a front fabric panel and at least one further fabric panel, the front fabric panel and the at least one further fabric panel being joined along their lateral edges to define the waist opening including a waist edge. Each of the front fabric panel and the at least one further fabric panel extends from the waist edge to at least a crotch region of the garment, and each of the front fabric panel and the at least one further fabric panel is formed of an elastically stretchable fabric.

The present invention teaches an apparatus for supporting, shaping, contouring, manipulating and lifting body parts in an inconspicuous and comfortable manner, which obviates or mitigates at least one disadvantage of the prior art. A single or double-sided coated adhesive with a variety of different textiles on the second side according to the pre-cut cut lifts and cupped lifts and their placement and function on the body. The body contouring adhesive is make-up blendable, cotton-lined for comfort for sensitive areas and acts as a secondary muscle in lifting, shaping and manipulating body part.

A gripping fabric and method for construction thereof is provided. A fabric structure that defines an inner surface and an outer surface is created. The fabric structure or the gripping fabric is configured to conform to a user's body part for constructing a garment, for example, a sock. The inner surface is proximal to a user contact surface and distal to an external contact surface. The outer surface is proximal to the external contact surface and distal to the user contact surface. A gripping material is selectively applied on the inner surface and/or the outer surface of the fabric structure. The gripping material on the inner surface and the outer surface of the fabric structure adheres to the user contact surface and the external contact surface respectively, thereby providing grip between the user contact surface and the fabric structure, and grip between the fabric structure and the external contact surface.

A bra includes a pair of bra cups, each bra cup in the pair having an inner edge and an outer edge, the inner edges configured to be coupled to one another. The bra includes a pair of bra wings, each bra wing in the pair having a first end and a second end, each first end being coupled to an outer edge of each bra cup, respectively, and the second ends configured to be coupled to one another. At least one of the pair of bra cups and the pair of bra wings comprises a layer of fabric having intrinsically sticky fibers. The layer of fabric having intrinsically sticky fibers comprises an inner layer of the pair of bra cups and/or the pair of bra wings and contacts a wearer's skin while the bra is being worn, causing the bra to cling to the wearer's skin.

A sock for covering at least a foot of a human wearer includes: a knitted toes-covering fabric-region, configured to cover toes of the foot; a knitted sole-covering fabric-region, configured to cover a sole of the foot; and a knitted toes-region stabilizing component, located between the knitted toes-covering fabric-region and the knitted sole-covering fabric-region. The knitted toes-region stabilizing component is configured to stabilize, and to prevent shifting or slippage of, the knitted toes-covering fabric-region in response to body movements. The knitted toes-region stabilizing component is a knitted band that is formed of a first yarn which is a High-Friction Low-Slippage yarn; the knitted toes-covering fabric-region and the knitted sole-covering fabric-region are knitted of a second, different, yarn. The first yarn has a first friction coefficient relative to human body; the second yarn has a second friction coefficient relative to human body; the first friction coefficient is greater than the second friction coefficient by at least 25 percent.
