Patent number: 11352738Abstract: An on-demand manufacturing of apparel system includes online customization and ordering of garments, previewing of the garments, manufacturing including laser finishing of garments, and delivery to the customer. Laser finishing of apparel products reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduces product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Fabric templates can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Levi Strauss & Co.Inventors: James Barton Sights, Jennifer Schultz, Benjamin Bell, Debdulal Mahanty, Ozgur Taylan Kuzucu, Christopher Schultz, Kris Tulin

Publication number: 20150196068Abstract: A body shaping fit system for pants is based on the concept of actively shaping the body's silhouette. This fit system includes: a stretch coating formulation for fabric that provides stretch in all directions (e.g., four way stretch) in an engineered way to target specific parts of the body, shape contouring panels, cosmetic finishing techniques, and seaming and construction techniques for pants. In a specific implementation, a pair of jeans includes a shape contouring panel incorporated onto an inside of the jeans, the panel including a polyurethane based coating with holding power to enhance the body's natural curves while de-emphasizing the body's flaws. The fit system is also applicable to pants, shorts, capris, and other clothing where shaping and support is desirable in the waist, seat, hip, and thigh areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2015Publication date: July 16, 2015Inventors: Kris Tulin, Debra Laney, Issa Bielefeldt

Patent number: 8806765Abstract: A revolutionary, new sizing and fitting system for jeans is based on the concept of shape, not size. This sizing and fitting system is organized around some basic body shapes categories: e.g., slight curve (straighter figure, flatter fanny), demi curve (evenly proportioned hip and seat) and bold curve (smaller waist, larger seat). To use the system, the consumer finds their shape using a shape measuring tool. The shape measuring tool calculates a shape category based on a differential of two measurements in the seat area. With this shape category information, the consumer can easily locate a pair of form-fitting jeans. The sizing and fitting system is also applicable to pants, shorts, skirts, and other clothing where form fit is desirable in the seat and hip area.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Levi Strauss & Co.Inventor: Kris Tulin

Publication number: 20140165265Abstract: Jeans are fitted based on the concept of shape, not size. There are at least three shape categories for different levels of curviness. With shape category information, the consumer can more easily find and fit a pair of form-fitting jeans. These jeans can also include a body shaping panel on an inside surface of a material of the pants to help actively shape the body. The body shaping panel enhances the body's natural curves while de-emphasizing the body's flaws, so the consumer can feel confident and attractive in their jeans.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: LEVI STRAUSS & CO.Inventors: Kris Tulin, Debra Laney, Issa Bielefeldt
