Abstract: This disclosure relates to a garment including a composite nonwoven textile associated with aesthetics, fit, functionality, and the like. The garment can include an upper-body garment (e.g., hoodie), with a fit that allows for relatively easy or free range of motion. In addition, the garment can include one or more various features that contribute to an aesthetic. For instance, the garment can include a seam construction that includes a relatively flat seam and that also provides an interesting aesthetic in which elements of the composite nonwoven construction are exposed. In some examples, a dual-layer hood assembly can include a seam construction that, for aesthetics and/or functionality, can allow a seam to be positioned on an inward facing surface of the hood. In some examples, the garment can include an elegant pocket construction that is associated with a clean aesthetic and reinforced pocket-opening edges and that is relatively easy to manufacture.

Abstract: An upper-torso garment includes a chest-covering portion having a knit textile region, which includes a plurality of courses fully spanning a dome-shaped portion. In addition, the knit textile region includes a plurality of partial-length courses partially spanning the dome-shaped portion.

Abstract: A training tight having preconfigured compression zones with integrated knit structure patterns is provided herein. The compression zones may have differing compressive properties where zones having a higher compression force are located at the waist and thigh areas of the tight, and zones having a lower compression force are located at the knee and calf area of the tight. The integrated structure patterns modify the compressive properties of the zones in the areas where the patterns are located in order to further customize the compressive properties of the training tight.

Abstract: An upper-torso garment includes a tubular-jacquard knit structure within a chest-covering portion. The tubular-jacquard knit structure includes interlocked courses formed by each front-stitch course intermittently interlocking with a back-stitch course. The tubular-jacquard knit structure is divided into a plurality of zones across the chest-covering portion that may vary based on how front-stitch courses interlock with back-stitch courses.

Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to a composite nonwoven textile that includes non-linear entangled seams and method and systems for producing the same. The composite nonwoven textile includes at least a first nonwoven layer, a second layer, and a fill material positioned between the first nonwoven layer and the second layer. When the composite nonwoven textile is formed into a garment, the regions between the non-linear entangled seams may help store and retain heat to provide insulation, and the non-linear entangled seams may help prevent shifting or drift of the fill material.

Abstract: Aspects of a flat-knit support garment for an upper torso are provided. The flat-knit support garment may include a bra structure having a flat-knit bra material that includes a cup zone, a body zone, a wing zone, a strap zone, and a chestband zone. In some instances, a perimeter of the flat-knit bra comprising a neck opening and armhole openings includes a finished edge treatment corresponding to a high stretch modulus, covered yarn. Such finished edges are generated in seamless construction with the unitary, flat-knit structure of the flat-knit support garment for an upper torso. The flat-knit characteristics of the support garment for an upper torso may correspond to one or more of a flat-knit stitch sequence, a yarn type, and/or a finishing treatment.

In addition, the knit textile region includes a plurality of partial-length courses partially spanning the dome-shaped portion.

Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to a recyclable, asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile includes a first face formed, at least in part from a first entangled web of fibers and an opposite second face formed, at least in part from a second entangled web of fibers. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first face forms an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel, and the second face forms an inner-facing surface of the article of apparel. The first face includes features making it suitable to form the outer-facing surface such as resistance to abrasion, and the second face includes features making it suitable to form an inner-facing surface such as a soft hand.

Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to a printed composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the printed nonwoven textile includes an interior layer with a printed component that is visible on a first facing side of the printed nonwoven textile that is formed, at least in part, from a first entangled web of fibers, fibers of the interior layer, and/or a colored substance the forms the printed component. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first facing side is an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel that includes the printed component.

Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to a textile, and garments produced from the textile, having one or more insulation zones and one or more pile zones where the pile zones seamlessly extend from the insulation zones. The textile includes a first woven layer, a second woven layer, and a nonwoven layer positioned between the first and second woven layers. In the insulation zone, the first woven layer, the second woven layer, and the nonwoven layer are unaffixed from each other. In the pile zone, fibers/filaments from the nonwoven layer are entangled with fibers, filaments and yarns from each of the first woven layer and the second woven layer.

Abstract: An upper-torso garment includes a tubular-jacquard knit zone with a plurality of front-stitch courses and a plurality of back-stitch courses, where each front stitch course intermittently interlocks with a back-stitch course to form a plurality of interlocked courses. Interlocking cross overs within a first interlocked course are offset from interlocking cross overs within an adjacent second interlocked course.

Abstract: An article having a panel secured between two layers of a trim piece and having a pocket affixed to a zipper, where a first zipper tape is affixed to the panel, and a second zipper tape is secured between the two layers of the trim piece such that the pocket is in communication with an incised opening in the panel is provided. The panel may be secured between the two layers of the trim piece at a first edge, and the incised opening may be formed proximate to the first edge such that the article comprises a pocket presented proximate to the trim piece. The present invention further comprises a method of manufacturing the article including a pocket presented proximate to the trim piece.
