  • Patent number: 8053379
    Abstract: A polyester garment material including a set of 100% polyester warp yarns and a set of 100% polyester weft yarns, wherein the warp and weft yarns are interlaced to form the garment material. The warp and weft yarns comprise of air-jet spun polyester fibers that wisk moisture away from an individual wearing the garment material and, therefore, provide a quick-drying, breathable garment material that simulates the absorbency characteristics of cotton yarns. The set of polyester warp yarns and the set of polyester weft yarns may be interlaced to form a ground fabric, where a set of polyester pile yarns may then be interlaced with the ground fabric so that the pile yarns extend outwardly (e.g., forming a plurality of loops) on the front side, back side, or both sides of the ground fabric.
