Provided is a laminated body, said laminated body being a laminated cloth the back surface of which has excellent properties against tangling and abrasion and good separability from the skin and which has a good texture and a favorable appearance and is comfortable to wear when made into clothing. The laminated cloth includes a front surface layer, a middle layer and a back surface layer, said layers being stacked one on another, wherein: the front surface layer comprises one member selected from the group consisting of a woven fabric, a knitted fabric and a non-woven fabric; the middle layer comprises a resin film or a non-woven fabric; and the back surface layer comprises a circular knitted fabric in which filament yarn of 60 dtex or less is used at least in part thereof and which is configured from knitting stitches and tack stitches, 9 to 72 said tack stitches being disposed per area of 12 wales×12 courses.

Aspects herein are directed to a lightweight, recyclable, double-knit textile used to form a recyclable, apparel item having stretch properties. The double-knit textile utilizes a combination of yarns, including a recyclable, elastic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) polymer yarn, in a knit construction where the technical face of the textile is formed form a non-elastic yarn such as a polyamide yarn, the technical back of the textile is formed the non-elastic yarn and the TPU polymer yarn in a plated relationship, and linking yarns that extend between the technical face and the technical back include the non-elastic yarn. The knit construction as described balances the need for opacity, optimal stretch features, support, and durability to an apparel item formed from the textile while still being lightweight.

Clothing articles formed of melting yarn and non-melting yarn, and system and method of producing such clothing articles. A clothing article includes: a first garment-region which consists of, exclusively, non-melting yarn, wherein the first garment-region has a first level of rigidity; and a second garment-region which comprises a mixture of both (i) non-melting yarn and (ii) stiffed melted-yarn, wherein the second garment-region has a second level of rigidity which is greater than the first level of rigidity. A garment includes multiple garment-regions having different levels of rigidity, wherein each garment-region consists of a different ratio of non-melting yarn to stiffed melted-yarn.

The present invention relates to a dynamic fiber/yarn capable of changing in response to external stimuli. The fiber/yarn in accordance with the present invention undergoes a radial symmetric change. The fiber/yarn in accordance with the present invention may be heat sensitive, moisture sensitive, magnetic field sensitive, electromagnetic field sensitive, etc.

A sea-islands type composite fiber includes an island component that is a polymer having moisture absorbability; a ratio (T/R) of a thickness T of an outermost layer to a diameter R of the fiber in a transverse cross section of the fiber of 0.05 to 0.25; and a moisture absorption rate difference (MR) after a hot water treatment of 2.0 to 10.0%, wherein the thickness of an outermost layer is a difference between a radius of the fiber and a radius of a circumscribed circle formed by connecting apexes of the island components disposed in an outermost circle, and represents a thickness of a sea component in the outermost layer.

The present invention is directed to a polyacetal stretched fiber of a polyacetal resin composition which contains a polyacetal resin and a fatty acid metal salt in an amount of 0.01 to 5 phr relative to the polyacetal resin, wherein the stretched fiber is obtained by stretching a fiber at a temperature of 100 C. or more to a temperature lower than the melting point of a polyacetal resin composition, and the fiber is obtained by melt spinning the polyacetal resin composition, and a fiber assembly comprising the stretched fiber as a main constituent.
