Abstract

Clothing has a body including a front body and a back body, wherein a material constituting the front body and a material constituting the back body are the same, and a chest width of the back body is shorter than a chest width of the front body. The clothing guides a motion or state of the upper body of a wearer to a proper posture and improves motion followability and wearing comfort around scapulae.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Clothing having a body including a front body and a back body, wherein 1) a material constituting the front body and a material constituting the back body are the same, 2) a chest width of the back body is shorter than a chest width of the front body, 3) the back body is composed of a plurality of back body parts joined, 4) the plurality of back body parts has such a shape that a cutting out portion is formed when these back body parts are arranged in a plane without being joined, and when the plurality of back body parts is joined, a joint region closing the cutting out portion is configured to pass from superior angle of scapula to angulus inferior scapulae of a human body between the left scapula and the right scapula, and 5) a ratio of the chest width of the front body to the chest width of the back body (chest width of front body/chest width of back body) is 1.1 or more.

2. The clothing according to claim 1 , wherein an elongation 2 defined below of the back body is greater than an elongation 1 defined below of the front body, and in the materials constituting the front body and the back body, a stretching stress 2 in the chest width direction at the elongation 2 is greater than a stretching stress 1 in the chest width direction at the elongation 1:
Elongation 1(%)={(intermediate value in chest or bust measurement range of a specific clothing size specified in a specific clothing standard/2)−chest width of front body}/chest width of front body×100; and

Elongation 2(%)={(intermediate value in chest or bust measurement range of a specific clothing size specified in a specific clothing standard/2)−chest width of back body}/chest width of back body×100,

wherein “a specific clothing size specified in a specific clothing standard” is a clothing standard and a clothing size used as a standard in designing the clothing according to any of JIS L 4002 (1997), JIS L 4003 (1997), JIS L 4004 (2001), JIS L 4005 (2001), JIS L 4006 (1998) and JASPO.

3. The clothing according to claim 2 , wherein the stretching stress 1 at elongation 1 is 1 to 30 gf/cm (980 to 29,400 dyn/cm), and the stretching stress 2 is 20 to 100 gf/cm (19,600 to 98,000 dyn/cm).

4. The clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the fabric constituting the front body and the back body have an elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in the chest width direction at 14.7 N elongation of 70% or more.

5. The clothing according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in the chest width direction to the elongation 3 in the body length direction at 14.7 N elongation (elongation 3 in chest width direction/elongation 3 in body length direction) of the materials constituting the front body and the back body is 0.5 to 2.0.

6. The clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the materials constituting the front body and the back body have an elastic recovery of elongation after 14.7 N elongation of 85 to 100% in the chest width direction.

7. The clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the total measurement of the chest width of the front body and the chest width of the back body is lower than the lower limit of a chest or bust measurement range of a specific clothing size specified in a specific clothing standard;
wherein “a specific clothing size specified in a specific clothing standard” is a clothing standard and a clothing size used as a standard in designing the clothing according to any of JIS L 4002 (1997), JIS L 4003 (1997), JIS L 4004 (2001), JIS L 4005 (2001), JIS L 4006 (1998) and JASPO.

8. The clothing according to claim 2 , wherein the fabric constituting the front body and the back body have an elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in the chest width direction at 14.7 N elongation of 70% or more.

9. The clothing according to claim 3 , wherein the fabric constituting the front body and the back body have an elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in the chest width direction at 14.7 N elongation of 70% or more.

10. The clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the elongation 3 in the chest width direction to the elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in the body length direction at 14.7 N elongation (elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in chest width direction/elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in body length direction) of the fabric constituting the front body and the back body is 0.5 to 2.0.

11. The clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the elongation 3 in the chest width direction to the elongation 3 in the body length direction at 14.7 N elongation (elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in chest width direction/elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in body length direction) of the fabric constituting the front body and the back body is 0.5 to 2.0.

12. The clothing according to claim 2 , wherein the ratio of the elongation 3 in the chest width direction to the elongation 3 in the body length direction at 14.7 N elongation (elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in chest width direction/elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in body length direction) of the fabric constituting the front body and the back body is 0.5 to 2.0.

13. The clothing according to claim 3 , wherein the ratio of the elongation 3 in the chest width direction to the elongation 3 in the body length direction at 14.7 N elongation (elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in chest width direction/elongation 3 determined according to JIS L 1096 (2010) in body length direction) of the fabric constituting the front body and the back body is 0.5 to 2.0.
