Abstract: An article of apparel is configured to cover at least part of a human head. The article of apparel includes a multi-layer face shield and a fabric panel coupled to the face shield. The multi-layer face shield includes an outer layer, a middle layer and an inner layer and is configured to cover a mouth and a nose of the human head when the article of apparel is donned by a wearer. The fabric panel is coupled to the face shield and forms a posterior loop such that the fabric panel and face shield are configured to extend completely around the human head when the article of apparel is donned by the wearer.

Abstract: A face mask configured to be worn on a human head includes a face shield and an ear loop. The ear loop is connected to a lateral side of the face shield. The ear loop defines an elongated narrow center portion positioned between an enlarged first end and an enlarged second end opposite the first end. The enlarged first end is connected to an upper portion of the lateral side of the face shield. The enlarged second end is connected to a lower portion of the lateral side of the face shield. The enlarged first end overlaps the enlarged second end along the lateral side of the face shield.

Abstract: A face mask face mask is configured to be worn on a human head and includes a face shield and at least one mounting strap. The face shield includes a multi-layer body portion comprising an outer layer, a middle layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is provided by a stitched fabric spacer, the middle layer provided by an open cell foam, and the inner layer provided a stretch fabric. The at least one mounting strap is an ear loop provided by a free-cut piece of fabric defined by an elongated narrow center portion positioned between an enlarged first end and an enlarged second end opposite the first end.

Abstract: Methods and systems of preparing custom clothing patterns are described. In particular, custom clothing patterns are prepared by obtaining a 2-D image of an individual, determining points of measurements of the individual from the 2-D image utilizing a body morphology technology, and modulating a digital clothing pattern template comprising measurement locations corresponding to the points of measurements by applying the measurements to the corresponding measurement locations of the digital pattern template, and altering the pattern based on the measurements and personal preferences.

Abstract: A garment made of a resilient material includes a waistband, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The waistband forms an interior layer, an exterior layer, and an interstitial space from a single piece of folded fabric. Disposed within the interstitial space are an adhesive film and a perforated film. The adhesive and perforated films are used to join the interior and exterior layers, while also providing additional structure to the waistband. The adhesive and perforated films may be constructed from resilient materials and may be configured to resiliently expand while being bonded to the exterior and interior layers. The adhesive and perforated films cooperate with the interior and exterior panels of the waistband to cinch the garment bottom around the waist of the user without causing the skin of the user to fold over the top of the waistband.

Abstract: An article of apparel includes an integrated support system. In an embodiment, the article of apparel is a tank top including a body and shoulder straps. The support structure, moreover, is a bra suspended from the interior of the body. The bra includes textile segments possessing predetermined degrees of resiliency. In an embodiment, the bra includes first and second cups, each including a pocket operable to receive an insert. The cups may be laterally spaced from each other by a non-stretch textile. The rear of the bra may be formed of a resilient textile.
