Abstract: A garment with full silhouette ventilation assembly includes an air permeable front panel, and an air impervious lining sheet underlies and spans the air permeable panel. The air impermeable lining sheet includes peripheral edges, which is attached to peripheral edges of the air permeable panel. The air impervious lining sheet defines an opening, and a cover sheet is provided and shaped to cover the opening. The cover sheet has peripheral edges attached to peripheral portions of the opening by a selectively operable closure assembly, which extends along the peripheral portions of the opening and the peripheral edges of the cover sheet. The air permeable front panel is preferably made of a unitary sheet of a perforated leather, which is substantially non-stretchable, and no cuts or stitches on the panel, so that graphics, such as advertisement, can be painted on or attached to the panel at any locus on the panel as desired, and the panel can still provide ventilation to a wearer.

Abstract: A garment with subpanel ventilation assembly includes an upper air impervious panel having a top edge and a bottom edge, a lower air impervious panel having a top edge and a bottom edge, an air permeable vent panel having a top edge continuously joined with the bottom edge of the upper air impervious panel, and a bottom edge continuously joined with the top edge of the lower air impervious panel, and an air impervious underlay panel underlying and spanning the vent panel. The underlay panel includes peripheral edges affixed to the peripheral edges of the vent panel. The underlay panel includes a slit extending along a vent axis, wherein the slit includes a selectively operable closure assembly extending therealong.
