This invention relates to an adjustable breast support garment that can adjust the size and the amount of breast support to preferred fit and sensation (more supported or less) from a single point using a single tensioning system that is easy reachable by the wearer. The adjustable breast support garment of the invention is configured to adjust the tension over the shoulders, around the chest, and in some implementations around the under-arm openings and neckline from a single point using a system of channels integrated into the garment. Elastic straps, webbings, shock cords or any combination thereof can be inserted and run through the system of channels in order to provide a tension change when pulled from a single point.

An upper-torso garment includes a tubular-jacquard knit structure within a chest-covering portion. The tubular-jacquard knit structure includes interlocked courses formed by each front-stitch course intermittently interlocking with a back-stitch course. The tubular-jacquard knit structure is divided into a plurality of zones across the chest-covering portion, and the zones may include different versions of the tubular-jacquard knit structure based on how front-stitch courses interlock with back-stitch courses.

A brassiere includes bra cups holding a wearer's breasts. A shaping foam layer is sandwiched between outer and inner layers of each bra cup and extends from a lower to an upper edge of each cup. A support shelf assembly spans across a lower portion of each bra cup and includes a support component located proximate the lower edge of the cups, a non-stretch stabilizer fabric layer spanning between both cups and along a full length of the support component, and a supportive foam layer spanning between both cups and along the support component. The inner, outer, shaping foam, stabilizer fabric, and supportive foam layers span across a center gore that connects the bra cups to form a front panel of the brassiere. The support shelf assembly is molded between the inner layer and the shaping foam layer and is an embedded, integral part of the front panel.

A garment including a breath sensor module. The breath sensor module includes a stretchable sensor configured to respond to at least one of expansion and contraction of a torso of an individual wearing the garment. The breath sensor module also may include an electronics module. The electronics module includes, for example, a processor and a haptic feedback device. In response to the processor determining that the individual's breathing meets predetermined criteria based on the response of the stretchable sensor, the haptic feedback device produces haptic feedback such that the individual is reminded to breathe. Further, the breath sensor module does not include a transmitter or a receiver configured to transmit or receive data outside of the breath sensor module. Advantageously, this allows for streamlined use, and less-intrusive reminders to the individual wearing the garment, without the complexities of signal transmission or receiving.

An adjustable athletic bra that provides support laterally (side to side), vertically (up and down), and in and out to provide stability in multiple directions.

A moisture management fabric using denier differential to facilitate the movement of sweat away from the wearer's body is presented. An exemplary moisture management support garment constructed from an exemplary moisture management fabric is presented. An exemplary moisture management support garment is a moisture transporting sport bra. A denier differential is employed to provide superior moisture transporting and evaporation of perspiration from a wearer during exertion. The denier differential relies upon a facing layer and a back layer with substantially different yarn thickness and fabric porosity to achieve fluid transport.

Disclosed herein is cooling sports bra that provides both support and cooling effect to a wearer. The cooling sports bra comprises a front panel configured to cover a chest area of a human torso. The front panel includes a first layer forming an outer surface, a second layer forming an inner surface, and a pair of front cooling pads are placed between the first and second layer. The front cooling pads are either fixed to the second layer or removable between the first and the second layer. The cooling sports bra further comprises a back panel coupled to the front panel, and the back panel includes at least one back cooling layer of a size and shape either fixed or removably attached to an inner surface of the back panel. The cooling sports bra further comprises a base support band coupled to the front and back panel.

Bras for high impact, high support activities are provided. A bra comprises a band that wraps around a torso. The band includes first and second cup regions, and a channel that runs below the collective cup regions. A gore is formed above the channel and between the respective cup regions, adjoining the respective cup regions. A molded cradle is fitted into the channel. For each cup region, a tessellated encapsulating bra cup is fitted therein. Each tessellated encapsulating bra cup includes a plurality of tiles. Respective tiles in the plurality of tiles that are further away from the cradle are larger in size than respective tiles in the plurality of tiles that are closer to the cradle. Each tessellated encapsulating bra cup has a generally concave first inner face and a generally convex first outer face. The tessellated encapsulating bra cups collectively contribute cantilevered support to the bra.

Articles of clothing are provided. An article of clothing includes a band. The band includes a back portion and a front portion. The front portion is seamlessly connected to the back portion. Moreover, the front portion includes a respective cup region that is formed with an extensibility. The extensibility varies from a base of the respective cup region to a top of the respective cup region.

Bras including an underband, a left shoulder strap, a right shoulder strap, a left support strap having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end of the left support strap being coupled to the left shoulder strap and the second end of the left support strap being coupled to the underband, the left support strap extending from the left shoulder strap to the underband along a path passing between the breasts of the wearer, and a right support strap having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end of the right support strap being coupled to the right shoulder strap and the second end of the right support strap being coupled to the underband, the right support strap extending from the right shoulder strap to the underband along a path passing between the breasts of the wearer.
