Benefits of technology

[0006]In the “open-chest” area design embodiments, there is less fabric to trap heat against the body allowing for less propensity to generate perspiration and this in turns create a cooler and comfortable wearing experience. It is preferred that this undershirt garment be constructed of a lightweight cotton fabric type material to allow for some level of perspiration absorption and wear comfortability.

Problems solved by technology

These full length type undergarments have the potential problems of 1) restricting how a person wears the upper body outer garment, 2) creating a potential situation for the upper body temperature to be un-necessarily elevated causing the body to sweat because the entrapment of body heat.
For the upper body, the underarm areas perspire the most and this perspiration can cause permanent stains that can ruin the best of fabrics.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]This invention “Upper Body Undergarment” (Undershirt garment) is the type of undershirt garment that can be worn, preferably by men, as outer clothing protection from upper body perspiration, especially in the underarm pit area. It is contemplated that this upper body undershirt garment be utilized for the upper body similar to how underwears e.g. boxers, briefs and the likes are used for the lower body below the belt. To maximize its wearing effectiveness, it is preferred that this invention be fabricated in a lightweight fabric capable of absorbing perspiration from the body. The unique fashion of the upper torso chest area and back of said garment allows for maximum ventilation to the upper body and helps with reducing the upper body temperature when it is covered by the next layer of outer garment.

[0019]The upper body, where many of the crucial human body activities occur, is prone to generate heat easily and will heat up faster and cause the body to perspire if there is a...

Abstract

An Upper-Body Undergarment (undershirt garment) that can be worn directly on top of the skin but beneath the next layer of garment as outer garment protection from upper body perspiration stains. The said undergarment is fashioned to allow ventilation and concealment and is ideal for wearing under outer garments such as shirts, T-shirts, coats, jackets, sweaters and the likes, especially in climates that are hot and the need to wear less clothing becomes important.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 343,928 filed May 6, 2010 entitled, “Upper Body Under Garment (Undershirt Garment)”BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]Up until this invention, men wanting to wear an upper body undergarment under a dress shirt, casual shirt, a T-shirt, etc., had basically two choices either a T-shirt (round neck or V-neck) or tube ‘tank top’. Both of these styled under garments are designed to be worn in a full length fashion to cover the torso (extending from shoulder to below the waistline) and are usually tucked and secured into the pants, at the waistline, by a belt. These full length type undergarments have the potential problems of 1) restricting how a person wears the upper body outer garment, 2) creating a potential situation for the upper body temperature to be un-necessarily elevated causing the body to sweat because the entrapment of body heat. In other words, a T-shirt or ‘tank top” wearer is forced to wear thei...
