Abstract: Methods for stabilizing insulation and constructing garments from the insulation are disclosed. Methods include arranging the fibers into a plurality of bundle structures. The fibers may be synthetic fibers. The method may include receiving the bundle structures into bundle channels. The bundle channels are formed by tacks. The bundle channels enable the uniform distribution of the bundle structures prior to stitching quilting stitch lines. Multiple quilting stitch lines are stitched after the bundle structures are uniformly distributed. The quilting stitch lines are orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the bundle structures. The quilting stitch lines provide lateral as well as longitudinal stabilization of the uniform density of the bundle structures. The distance between the quilting stitch lines may be based on the loft of the fibers and/or a required durability of the garment. The quilting stitch lines are generally horizontal, while the longitudinal axis of the bundle structures are vertical.

Abstract: Described herein are spun yarns, core spun yarns, and fabrics such as denim fabrics made thereof that contain recycled cotton fibers and recycled para-aramid fibers. The combination of fibers in the yarns and fabrics provide desirable properties such as increased tear strength, breaking strength, and abrasion resistance compared to yarns and fabrics made of 100 wt % cotton.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing improved feathers (including down feathers) by coating said feathers with coating materials via plasma deposition resulting in coated feathers and down feathers with improved properties such as moisture resistance, hydrophobicity, fill power (loft), and other improved characteristics.

Abstract: A wetsuit includes an outer layer and an inner layer. The inner layer is attached to the outer layer and includes a plurality of fibers having wool and being configured in a plurality of clusters. The inner layer also includes a plurality of interconnected channels. At least a portion of each channel is defined by a space between adjacent clusters. The wetsuit also includes an opening that is disposed on a rear side of the wetsuit. The wetsuit additionally includes at least one fastener that is connected to the opening to open and close the opening.
