Abstract: Garments are produced from patterns with a size grid that provides custom-like fit for ready-to-wear garments. The patterns are generated from a size chart of groups, sub groups and sub sub groups of anchor measures and priority measures. The size grid for various garments (men, women, children) includes a large number of sizes, anywhere from a few dozen to over two hundred. Given measures of a customer, these measures are screened against the groups, sub groups and sub sub groups to determine a correct size.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes using additional yarn having a boiling-water shrinkage rate less than that of the base yarn, thereby suppressing shrinkage at the sides in the width direction of the fabric and thus reducing the difference in the crimp ratio between the center in the width direction of the fabric and the sides in the width direction. This enables the production of a fabric for airbags with high uniformity in the width direction.

Abstract: A woven fabric for a fiber web producing machine has a defined machine direction, a cross machine direction, a web facing side, and a machine side. The web facing side is formed by MD yarns that extend substantially in the machine direction and by CD yarns extending substantially in the cross machine direction of the woven fabric. The MD yarns and CD yarns are interwoven with each other and the woven fabric is configured to structure the fiber web produced on the woven fabric. A plurality of adjacent long flotations of MD yarns on the web facing side form together a discrete element that is raised on the web facing side for allowing the woven fabric to structure the fiber web. The term “long flotation” means that the MD yarn passes over at least six adjacent CD yarns on the web facing side of the woven fabric.
