Expandable clothing
An expandable clothing includes two cloth members, and an expandable element secured between the cloth members and having a resilience greater than that of the cloth members for allowing the clothing to be expanded to fit various users having different sizes or dimensions. The clothing may be selected from pants, trousers, skirts or shorts, sweaters, shirts, jackets or coats or the like having two tubular pant-legs or two sleeves for accommodating or receiving the legs or the feet, or the hands of the users. The expandable elements may be attached to the inner portions or the side portions of the pant-legs or the sleeves, or attached to the rear portion of the coat.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an expandable garment or pant or clothing, and more particularly to an expandable garment or pant or clothing including one or more expandable components or portions for allowing the garment or pant or clothing to be suitably retracted or expanded to fit various users having different sizes or dimensions.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical garments, clothing, clothes, pants, or the like comprise a clothing body for receiving and for engaging onto the upper portions or the lower portions of the users, and comprise one or more tubular sleeves, pant-legs for accommodating or receiving the hands, the legs or the feet of the users.
Normally, the clothing body and the tubular sleeves and the pant-legs include a predetermined size or dimension for fitting or for engaging with the users of a predetermined size or dimension, but may not be provided for fitting or for engaging with the users of different sizes or dimensions.
However, the users may have different buttock portions, leg portions, hip portions, portions, groin portions, inguinal portions, chest portions, shoulder portions, or other portions that include different sizes or dimensions, such that the clothing or clothes having the same neck size or dimension may not fit all of the users, and the pants having the same waist size or dimension also may not fit all of the users.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional garments, clothing, clothes, or pants. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
