Abstract

Patterns for bodies and sleeves are devised to reduce the pull of the bodies from the sleeves when an arm is moved up, down, forward and backward. In an upper garment 1 , portions 67 and 87 to be sewn to a first sewing reference position 6 on a front body 2 in a front portion to be sewn 54 in a front sleeve portion 51 project toward the front body 2 relative to a shoulder point SP, and project toward the front body 2 relative to a boundary point 65 between the front portion to be sewn 54 and the first end portion to be sewn 6 , and portions 72 and 89 to be sewn to a second sewing reference position 12 on a back body 3 in a back portion to be sewn 55 in a back sleeve portion 52 project toward the back body 3 relative to the shoulder point SP, and project toward the back body 3 relative to a boundary point 70 between the back portion to be sewn 55 and the second end portion to be sewn 12.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An upper garment having a front body, a back body, sleeves sewn to the bodies and configured to be worn on an upper half of a body of a wearer, the upper garment being characterized in that
each sleeve has a front sleeve portion and a back sleeve portion and is formed into a tubular shape by sewing the front sleeve portion and the back sleeve portion to each other;
the front sleeve portion has a front portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the front body, a front sleeve attachment line having a curved shape that is sewn, as an edge of the front portion to be sewn, to the front body, and a front sleeve bottom line representing a first end portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the back sleeve portion to form the sleeve portions into the tubular shape;
the back sleeve portion has a back portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the back body, a back sleeve attachment line having a curved shape that is sewn, as an edge of the back portion to be sewn, to the back body, and a back sleeve bottom line representing a second end portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the front sleeve portion to form the sleeve portions into the tubular shape;
a boundary portion between the front portion to be sewn and the back portion to be sewn forms a shoulder point configured to correspond to an outer end of a shoulder of the wearer when the front portion to be sewn is sewn to the front body, and when the back portion to be sewn is sewn to the back body;
the front body has a first portion to be sewn, to which the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn, and on which a first sewing reference position serving as a reference when the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn is set, the first sewing reference position being positioned nearest to a center of the front body in a widthwise direction in the first portion to be sewn;
the back body has a second portion to be sewn, to which the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn, and on which a second sewing reference position serving as a reference when the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn is set, the second sewing reference position being positioned nearest to a center of the back body in a widthwise direction in the second portion to be sewn;
a portion to be sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion of the front sleeve attachment line projects toward the front body relative to the shoulder point, and projects toward the front body relative to a boundary point between the front sleeve attachment line and the front sleeve bottom line, the boundary point between the front sleeve attachment line and the front sleeve bottom line being a corner of the front sleeve attachment line and the front sleeve bottom line, the corner of the front sleeve attachment line and the front sleeve bottom line being an intersection of the front sleeve attachment line and the front sleeve bottom line; and
a portion to be sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion of the back sleeve attachment line projects toward the back body relative to the shoulder point, and projects toward the back body relative to a boundary point between the back sleeve attachment line and the back sleeve bottom line, the boundary point between the back sleeve attachment line and the back sleeve bottom line being a corner of the back sleeve attachment line and the back sleeve bottom line, the corner of the back sleeve attachment line and the back sleeve bottom line being an intersection of the back sleeve attachment line and the back sleeve bottom line,
so that the shoulder point on the sleeve is positioned between the portion in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion, which portion is sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body, and the portion in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion, which portion is sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body, and so that the shoulder point on the sleeve is positioned at a bottom most portion in a concave portion formed by the front sleeve attachment line and the back sleeve attachment line, while part of a sleeve mouth of each of the sleeves is positioned above a line extended linearly from a shoulder line toward the sleeve that is continuous with the shoulder line, when the sleeve is sewn to the front body and to the back body, wherein the shoulder line is an upper end edge of a corresponding shoulder portion of the upper garment and passes through the shoulder point; and
wherein a sleeve width line connecting the boundary point between the front sleeve attachment line and the front sleeve bottom line and the boundary point between the back sleeve attachment line and the back sleeve bottom line and extending along the widthwise direction is drawn, and
wherein a length of a line drawn from the shoulder point so as to be perpendicular to the sleeve width line is A; a length of a line drawn from the portion sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion so as to be perpendicular to the sleeve width line is B; and a length of a line drawn from the portion sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion so as to be perpendicular to the sleeve width line is C, a relationship of A<B and a relationship of A<C are established.

2. An upper garment having a front body, a back body, sleeves sewn to the bodies and configured to be worn on an upper half of a body of a wearer, the upper garment being characterized in that
each sleeve has a front sleeve portion and a back sleeve portion and is formed into a tubular shape by sewing the front sleeve portion and the back sleeve portion to each other;
the front sleeve portion has a front portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the front body, a front sleeve attachment line having a curved shape that is sewn, as an edge of the front portion to be sewn, to the front body, and a front sleeve bottom line representing a first end portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the back sleeve portion to form the sleeve portions into the tubular shape;
the back sleeve portion has a back portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the back body, a back sleeve attachment line having a curved shape that is sewn, as an edge of the back portion, to be sewn to the back body, and a back sleeve bottom line representing a second end portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the front sleeve portion to form the sleeve portions into the tubular shape;
a boundary portion between the front portion to be sewn and the back portion to be sewn forms a shoulder point configured to correspond to an outer end of a shoulder of the wearer when the front portion to be sewn is sewn to the front body, and when the back portion to be sewn is sewn to the back body;
the front body has a first portion to be sewn, to which the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn, and on which a first sewing reference position serving as a reference when the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn is set, the first sewing reference position being positioned nearest to a center of the front body in a widthwise direction in the first portion to be sewn;
the back body has a second portion to be sewn, to which the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn, and on which a second sewing reference position serving as a reference when the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn is set, the second sewing reference position being positioned nearest to a center of the back body in a widthwise direction in the second portion to be sewn;
a portion to be sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion projects to
