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: 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 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.

Abstract: A woven trim piece is provided that utilizes “grip” yarns in the warp direction to increase the coefficient of friction of the trim piece. The grip yarns are interlaced with a plurality of filling yarns to form a repeating pattern of floats on a first face of the trim piece, such that a high percentage of the first face of the trim piece comprises grip yarns.

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, and the zones may include different versions of the tubular-jacquard knit structure based on how front-stitch courses interlock with back-stitch courses.

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.

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

Abstract: Knit apparel formed using knitted structures and yarn content to create zonal properties provided. In aspects, garments, such as lower-body garments, have gradient missed-stitch structures creating protrusions on the external surface of the garment. Each gradient missed-stitch structure has at least a first missed-stitch segment and a second missed-stitch segment. The first missed-stitch segment is formed by a first set of float stitches along a first plurality of courses, and the second missed-stitch segment is formed by a second set of float stitches along a subset of the first plurality of courses. There may be additional missed-stitch segments formed across different quantities of courses such that the gradient missed-stitch structures are each tapered.

Abstract: An upper-torso garment includes a tubular-jacquard knit structure in a chest-covering portion. The tubular-jacquard knit structure is divided into a plurality of zones across the chest-covering portion, and the zones may include different versions of the tubular-jacquard knit structure.

Abstract: Knit apparel formed using knitted structures and yarn content to create zonal venting and material standoff are provided. In aspects, garments having standoff structures knitted into one or more zones within the garment, on an internal and/or external surface of the garment, include tops and half-tights. The standoff structures are created using missed stitches with floats adjacent knitted stitches are integral to the surrounding material. Additionally, garments having airflow apertures are included, with transfer-stitch structures creating integral openings within the surrounding material.

Abstract: An upper-torso garment includes a first knit zone and a second knit zone. The first knit zone includes a first tubular-jacquard knit structure and having a first modulus of elasticity, and the second knit zone includes a second tubular-jacquard knit structure and having a second modulus of elasticity, which is greater than the first modulus of elasticity.
