Hooded shirts and sweatshirts are worn for many reasons. One of the major reasons for wearing hooded sweatshirts, is for athletic, working out and exercising. Most athletes find the hooded sweatshirts, to be comforting while running, jogging, lifting weights, or other strenuous work outs and exercise. The concept behind working out in a sweatshirt hoodie, is to increase perspiring and sweating. Wearing the hood over the head while working out, allows for more heat to stay within the body, thus promoting an increased body temperature, which then results in an increased metabolism, and finally, resulting in a fat burning mode. Another use of the hoodie sweatshirt, is to shield and protect from weather conditions, such as the cold weather, to which the hood provides warmth, or when it's raining or snowing, the hood prevents the head from getting wet.

The current hoodie sweatshirts, have the hoods designed to fully cover your entire head on all side: front, left side, back, and right side. Both ears are covered as well.

Hooded sweatshirts have increasingly become more common, trendier, and more fashionable. Most recently a popular, yet common device has worked its way back into modern society, and it is proven to be just as trendier and fashionable as the hooded sweatshirt. The re-emergence of the over-the-ear headphones (OEH). The OEH, for the last few years, has become a fashion statement. Not only do they provide a more modern, superb acoustic sound, they are worn to make a fashion statement. That fashion statement includes showing which OEH is better artistically designed, or how expensive it is, the OEHs, are worn to represent style and class. These OEH have distinct, bilateral rounded ear pads covering the ears. Many athletes, and others, wear the OEH, while working out, running, jogging, or other strenuous activities. However, the current hooded sweatshirts, if wearing the OEH internally, under the hood, doesn't allow for the OEH external visibility, and does not allow the listener to make a fashion statement. In addition, wearing the OEH, internally under the hood, doesn't provide a large enough capacity for the OEH; also, it does not provide the securement of OEH, and does not keep the hood intact, with strenuous workouts and exercising.

If wearing the OEH externally, over the hood, the current garment of the hood, is a barrier, it prevents direct contact of the earpads of the headphones with direct contact of the ears, resulting in a muffled sound, which defeats the purpose of the quality sound OEHs. It also doesn't provide any external securement devices.

Garment and manufacturing method, describes a one size garment (1) for different sizes of women or men, made of a fabric comprising at least a natural non-elastic fibre material, a first synthetic fibre material and a second elastic synthetic fibre material, these synthetic fibres being covered by polyurethane and polyethylene, having chain stitch seams (3) using 100% polyester thread (4) in which are also stretchy, which join together the different pieces (2) to form the garment; and in that said garment (1) has a distressed look in certain areas of the material. The manufacture thereof comprises making, by hand or machine, using round point needles and a subsequent wash process in two phases, in which an emulsion to protect the elastic fibres is added.

An elongate elastic member for assisting an athletic motion and a lower-body garment incorporating the elongate elastic member are provided herein. The elongate elastic member may have various configurations that permit it to be attached to a foot or shoe of a wearer and a torso of the wearer. The structure and as-worn configuration of the elongate elastic member and associated lower-body garment augment or inhibit joint moments during an athletic motion, improving the actual or perceived amount of energy expended to complete the athletic motion.

A wearable exercise suit is taught which uses the elongated configuration of the raglan sleeve to ensure a more intense exercise experience. The invention teaches a long sleeved raglan shirt having resistance bands included therein for exercising the human muscles. The resistance bands are connected at the wearer's wrists and at shoulder locations. Tension is created in the resistance bands when the wearer moves his appendages. In one embodiment, the resistance bands are connected at multiple locations on the raglan sleeve to further increase tension and resistance to movement.

To wear and remove an assist instrument has been difficult because a user has to wear or remove the assist instrument on or from her/his body in a state that an elastic member is contracted. An assist instrument includes a wearing-removal member that is placed wearably and removably on a body of a user; an assist unit that is provided to the wearing-removal member, and assists muscular strength of the user by an action of at least one of extension and contraction by power supply; a control unit that controls an action of the assist unit; and something that adjusts constriction of the body by the wearing-removal member at a time of at least one of wearing and detachment of the wearing-removal member.

An apparel comprises a body portion and a pair of arm portions, where an underarm region is located between said body portion and each said arm portions. The body portion further comprises (a) a torso portion, (b) a skirt portion, (c) a band portion located between the torso and skirt portion and (d) at least one elastic element located between the band portion and underarm region. Alternatively, (d) the at least one elastic element may extend from the skirt portion to the underarm region. The band portion may be located in the interior space of the apparel.

Aspects herein are directed to a pocket structure that facilitates the secure storage of items stowed within the pocket structure. The pocket structure includes inner and outer pocket layers and a funnel-shaped structure positioned in the space between the inner and outer pocket layers. The funnel-shaped structure comprises an inlet opening that forms an opening to the pocket structure and an outlet opening that is in communication with the space between the inner and outer pocket layers. The outlet opening has a smaller circumference compared to the inlet opening.

The present invention relates to heatable garments, comprising a garment body and a heating pad adhered to at least a portion of the garment body, wherein the heating pad comprises graphene particles dispersed in a polymer matrix material. The invention also provides fabrics for making such garments, and methods of making such garments and fabrics. Also provided are heatable bedding incorporating a heating pad as described above.

An activewear garment having facial opening formed on an anterior side of an upper head portion of the garment. An elastic securing band is attached to the upper head portion. The elastic band includes a top portion and a bottom portion, each portion having a first end and a second end. There are first and second gaps between the respective ends of the top portion and bottom portion of the elastic band to facilitate the insertion and removal of items intended for insertion in or on a user's ears such as, for example, ear pods and athletic glasses.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a wearable resistive equipment that integrates endurance and strength training capabilities into the clothing, while enhancing the effect of exercise, rest and motion. In one embodiment, the wearable resistive pant member is designed to include built-in resistance bands.
