[0009] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1A and 1B are perspective views of the back side of a top 100, which is a garment according to an embodiment, and show a state in which a wearer has their arms down and a state in which the wearer is moving their right arm. Note that the up, down, left, and right directions are based on the state in which a wearer is standing and wearing the top 100, with the length direction being up and down and the width direction being left and right. The outer garment 100 according to the embodiment is what is called a jumper or blouson, and comprises a torso 101 made up of a front and back body section, and left and right sleeve sections 102. The back body section of the torso 101 is composed of a yoke section 103, a central body section 104, and left and right body sections 105L, 105R. The outer garment 100 thus constructed has a stretchable structure formed by forming a plurality of elongated openings 1 near the armholes of the left and right body sections 105L, 105R. Specifically, the stretchable structure has a plurality of rows of opening groups L, each of which has a plurality of elongated openings 1 arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction, formed in a predetermined region of upper garment 100, in the region near the armholes of left and right body portions 105L, 105R in the example of Fig. 1. Each opening group L is arranged to extend in the vertical direction.

[0010] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a plurality of rows of opening groups L. In the following, reference symbols L1 to L 11 In each drawing, only some of the numerous openings and reinforcing parts are labeled with reference numerals. In the example of FIG. 2, there are 11 rows of opening groups L1 to L11 Each of the opening groups L1 to L 11 The opening groups L1 to L2 are each a group of a plurality of elongated openings 1 arranged in a straight line in the longitudinal direction. 11 are arranged in parallel at a constant interval h. The length l of the openings 1 and the distance d between the openings 1 in the longitudinal direction are constant.

[0011] And the opening groups L1 to L 11 The openings 1 of any one of the opening groups are arranged with a longitudinal offset between them. For example, the openings 1 of opening group L1 are arranged with a longitudinal offset between them. For example, the openings 1 of opening group L4 are arranged with a longitudinal offset between them. Furthermore, the openings 1 of opening group L4 are arranged with a longitudinal offset between them. In the example of FIG. 2, the openings 1 of opening groups L1, L3, L5, L7, L9, L 11 The longitudinal positions of the openings 1 coincide with each other, and the opening groups L2, L4, L6, L8, and L 10 The longitudinal positions of the openings 1 are in agreement.

[0012] Opening 1 is formed in the same manner as a buttonhole and has the same structure as a buttonhole. Specifically, a linear slit 2 is made with a buttonhole sewing machine or by hand using thread and a needle, and the end of slit 2 is sewn with thread to act as a hook (also called a bar tack), forming opening 1 with a reinforced periphery. By reinforcing the periphery of opening 1 in this way (by providing reinforcing part 3), it is possible to make it less likely to tear even when force is applied to widen opening 1, and to prevent loss of functionality of the garment.

[0013] By forming a plurality of elongated openings 1 in this manner, as shown in Fig. 3, upper garment 100 has an elastic structure in which openings 1 expand when force F is applied in a direction different from the longitudinal direction of openings 1, and openings 1 return to their original closed state when the force is removed. As shown in Fig. 1, when upper garment 100 has an elastic structure near the armholes, openings 1 expand when the wearer moves their arms, thereby not interfering with arm movement and improving mobility.

[0014] As described above, by providing a stretchable structure with multiple elongated openings 1, it is possible to provide clothing with a stretchable structure that is structurally stretchable rather than being dependent on the material. The degree of stretchability can be adjusted by appropriately adjusting the number of rows of opening groups L, the number of openings 1 in each opening group L, the spacing h, the length l of the openings 1, and the distance d between the openings 1. As an example, the spacing h is set to 8 mm, the length l of the openings 1 to 25 mm, and the distance d between the openings 1 to 10 mm. Furthermore, by forming a plurality of elongated openings 1, it becomes possible to provide clothes with unique designs.

[0015] The material of the predetermined region, that is, the region where the rows of openings L are formed, may be a non-stretchable material or a stretchable material. Furthermore, a two-layer structure may be used in a predetermined region, with fabric parts provided on the back side (inside, wearer side). This prevents the clothing worn underneath the top 100 and the wearer's skin from being exposed even when the opening 1 expands. Stretchable fabric parts for the two-layer structure are preferably made of a stretchable material so as not to hinder the expansion of the opening 1. Examples of stretchable fabric parts include rubber mesh, mesh material, knit (knitted) material, and woven fabric (woven). Furthermore, using a stretchable fabric part makes it easier for the expanded opening 1 to return to its original closed state. The two-layer structure may also use regular fabric parts or stretchable fabric parts on the outside. That is, a two-layer structure may be used in which fabric parts (regular fabric parts or stretchable fabric parts) are provided on the front (outside) of the predetermined region.

[0016] Furthermore, the interval h, the length l of the openings 1, and the distance d between the openings 1 may be different in the multiple rows of opening groups L. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of multiple rows of opening groups L. In the example of Fig. 4, there are 11 rows of opening groups L1 to L 11 are formed. Then, each of the opening groups L1 to L 11 is a group of openings L1 to L2, each of which has a plurality of elongated openings 1 arranged in a straight line in the longitudinal direction thereof. 11 are arranged in parallel, and the opening groups L1 to L 11 The openings 1 of any one of the opening groups are arranged with a longitudinal offset from the openings 1 of the opening group adjacent to the one opening group, as in the example of FIG. 2. In addition, in the example of FIG. 4, the interval h and the length l are successively decreased from the opening group L1 on the left side to the right side (h1 <h2<···<h9<h 10 , l1 <l2<···<l 10 <l 11 4, by increasing the length l of the opening 1 on the left side and increasing the spacing h, and by decreasing the length l of the opening 1 on the right side and decreasing the spacing h, the stretchability on the left side can be increased and the stretchability on the right side can be reduced. In this way, the stretchability can be varied in a predetermined area, and it is possible to adjust the stretchability of the wearer's part corresponding to that area, such that the stretchability is increased in areas that move a lot and reduced in areas that do not move a lot. Note that in the example of FIG. 4, the length l and distance d of the openings 1 are the same within a row of opening group L, but the length l and distance d of the openings 1 may be varied within a row of opening group L.

[0017] Furthermore, the predetermined area of the garment is not limited. In the case of an upper garment, for example, multiple rows of opening groups L may be formed in the shoulders, sides, elbows, etc. Furthermore, the garment to which the present invention is applied is not limited to upper garments. In the case of lower garments such as trousers, multiple rows of opening groups L may be formed in the waist, crotch, knees, etc.

[0018] Furthermore, the opening 1 is not limited to a shape that extends linearly, but may have a curved shape. When the opening 1 has a curved shape, the direction along the curve is called the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the plurality of openings 1 are not limited to being arranged in a straight line in the longitudinal direction, but may be arranged in a curved line. Furthermore, several openings 1 may be arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction to form a ring. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of multiple rows of opening groups L (openings 1 are shown schematically). As shown in FIG. 5, multiple rows of opening groups L (labeled L1 to L6 from the inside out) may be arranged in a shape close to concentric circles. In this case, there are no openings 1 in the center, and stretchability is provided in areas away from the center. For example, multiple rows of opening groups L may be arranged in a shape close to concentric circles in the elbow area of the upper garment or the knee area of the lower garment, with the center of the elbow or knee as the center. Note that multiple rows of opening groups L may also be arranged in a concentric circle.

[0019] Furthermore, for example, as shown in Fig. 6, multiple rows of opening groups L in the vertical direction and multiple rows of opening groups L in the horizontal direction may be arranged. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of multiple rows of opening groups L (opening 1 is shown schematically). Furthermore, the plurality of rows of opening groups L may not be arranged in parallel, but may be arranged to spread out in a fan shape, for example.

[0020] Furthermore, the openings 1 may be formed as slits 2 as in the embodiment, or alternatively as elongated holes 4 as shown in Fig. 7. For example, a plurality of elongated holes 4 may be formed by laser cutting or the like to form a plurality of rows of opening groups L as shown in Figs. 2, 4 to 6. The periphery of the elongated holes 4 may be reinforced with a thermal transfer print sheet, a waterproof print sheet, silicone parts, or the like (reinforcement portion 5). The holes are not limited to elongated holes, and may be rectangular or have other geometric shapes.

[0021] Furthermore, when the opening 1 has the same structure as a buttonhole, an actual button may be used so that it can be fastened to the opening 1. This allows the garment to have a size adjustment function due to its elasticity in addition to its original opening and closing functions and size adjustment functions.

[0022] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the above-described embodiments are merely examples of specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited by these embodiments. In other words, the present invention can be carried out in various forms without departing from its technical concept or main features. In the embodiment, an example is described in which multiple elongated openings are formed in clothing, but multiple elongated openings may also be formed in clothing parts such as fabrics and materials used to construct the clothing. Alternatively, a pattern serving as a guide for forming multiple elongated openings in a fabric or material may be created using apparel CAD or a manual and provided. Based on the created pattern, the positions for forming the multiple openings in the fabric or material are marked, and the multiple openings can be easily formed in the same manner as forming buttonholes.
