[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a plan view schematically showing a garment 1 of this embodiment. The garment 1 is composed of a fabric body 2 made of cloth. FIG. 1 shows the front surface 2a side of the fabric body 2. The fabric body 2 is provided with protrusions 3 that extend in one direction on the front surface 2a side and control the flow of a fluid. Here, the fluid in this specification refers to, for example, gas or liquid. The protrusions 3 are formed integrally with the fabric body 2. Furthermore, a coating agent S is provided along the protrusions 3 on the back surface 2b side of the fabric body 2 (see the dotted lines in FIG. 1).

[0011] FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the garment taken along line II-II in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the protruding portions 3 protrude toward the front surface 2a and have a rectangular shape. The protruding portions 3 have a predetermined height h1 from the front surface 2a. The height h1 is greater than 1 mm and equal to or less than 5 mm. When viewed from the back surface 2b side of the fabric body 2, the protruding portions 3 can also be considered as recesses that are sunken toward the front surface 2a.

[0012] The coating agent S is provided along the shape of the convex portions 3 (in other words, concave portions) on the back surface 2b. The coating agent S is in close contact with the fabric main body 2 without forming any gaps between the coating agent S and the fabric main body 2. The thickness of the coating agent S is smaller than the thickness of the fabric main body 2. The coating agent S is provided on the convex portions 3 and the peripheries of the convex portions 3, but may be provided over the entire surface of the fabric main body 2. The coating agent S is provided on the back surface 2b of the fabric main body 2, but may also be provided on the front surface 2a of the fabric main body 2.

[0013] FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of another form of garment taken along line II-II in FIG. 1. In FIG. 3, the shapes of the fabric main body 2 and the raised portions 3 are the same as those shown in FIG. 2. The raised portions 3 (in other words, recessed portions) on the back surface 2b are filled with the coating agent S. That is, the coating agent S is filled into the raised portions 3 on the back surface 2b. For this reason, there are no recessed portions in the form shown in FIG. 3. The coating agent S is provided only on the raised portions 3 on the back surface 2b, but it may also be provided in areas of the fabric main body 2 other than the raised portions 3.

[0014] In this embodiment, silicone is used as the coating agent S. For example, a thermoplastic silicone ink is used as the coating agent S. Alternatively, a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer may also be used as the coating agent.

[0015] Next, a method for forming the protrusions of this embodiment will be described. The protrusions of this embodiment are formed by embossing the fabric body. Specifically, the protrusions are formed by one of the following methods: (a) a method in which a liquid coating agent is applied to one side of the fabric body, the fabric body is sandwiched between two molds and pressurized and heated to form protrusions, and then the method is allowed to dry naturally; (b) a method in which the fabric body is sandwiched between two molds and pressurized and heated to form protrusions, the protrusions on the back side (i.e., recesses) are filled with the liquid coating agent, and then the method is allowed to dry in a heated dryer to solidify the coating agent; (c) a method in which the back side (i.e., recesses) of the protrusions formed by method (a) are filled with the liquid coating agent, and then the method is allowed to dry in a heated dryer to solidify the coating agent; or (d) a method in which a liquid coating agent is applied to one side of the fabric body, a backing fabric is placed on that side of the fabric body, and the fabric body is pressurized and heated using upper and lower molds to form protrusions together with the backing fabric, and then the method is allowed to dry naturally.

[0016] In each of the above methods, instead of applying a liquid coating agent, a solid silicone sheet may be overlaid on the fabric body. Also, while molding convex portions that protrude from the front side of the fabric body, convex portions that protrude from the back side of the fabric body, i.e., concave portions that are recessed into the back side of the fabric body (see, for example, Figure 5), may be molded simultaneously.

[0017] Next, specific embodiments in which convex portions according to the present disclosure are arranged will be described. Note that the concepts of "external surface side" and "internal surface side" described below differ from the concepts of "surface side" and "rear side" described above. In the following embodiments, the side from which the convex portions protrude is the surface side. In some embodiments, the "external surface side" may correspond to the "surface side," and the "internal surface side" may correspond to the "rear side." In other embodiments, the "external surface side" may correspond to the "rear side," and the "internal surface side" may correspond to the "surface side."

[0018] [First embodiment] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an upper garment 1 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, viewed from the front. The upper garment 1 is formed from a fabric body 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper garment 1 is outerwear having a front body 4, a back body (not shown), sleeves 6, a hood 8, and two pockets 7. The outerwear is an outer layer worn as the outermost garment. The outerwear of this embodiment is a water-repellent outerwear for use as a raincoat, but it does not have to be for use as a raincoat. A zip fastener 9 is located in the center of the width of the front body 4, extending from the bottom to the top of the front body 4. The front body 4 opens and closes by moving the zip fastener 9 up and down.

[0019] The sleeves 6 are connected to the front body 4 at locations corresponding to the wearer's shoulders. The cuffs 61 of the sleeves 6 extend to locations corresponding to the wearer's wrists, making the top 1 what is known as long-sleeved outerwear. The hood 8 is connected to the front body 4 at locations corresponding to the wearer's neck. The hood 8 is formed to cover the wearer's head. The hood 8 has a hood opening 81 through which at least the wearer's face is exposed. Two pockets 7 are located on both sides of the center of the body width, at positions on the front body 4 corresponding to the wearer's abdomen. The pocket openings 71, which are the entrances to each pocket 7, are located at the outer ends of the pockets 7 in the body width direction and are inclined downward and outward in the body width direction.

[0020] A protrusion 3a is arranged above each pocket opening 71 so as to cover both ends of the pocket opening 71. Like the pocket openings 71, the protrusions 3a are inclined downward outward in the body width direction. The protrusions 3a are formed integrally with the fabric main body 2 and protrude toward the outer surface side of the fabric main body 2. That is, in the first embodiment, the "outer surface side" corresponds to the "front surface side" and the "inner surface side" corresponds to the "rear surface side."

[0021] The convex portion 3a has a first inclined portion 31 and a second inclined portion 32, each having a different inclination angle. The inclination angle means an acute angle with respect to the vertical direction. The first inclined portion 31 and the second inclined portion 32 are continuous. The second inclined portion 32 is disposed outward in the body width direction from the first inclined portion 31. The first inclined portion 31 has a first inclined angle A1. The second inclined portion 32 has a second inclined angle A2. The second inclined angle A2 is smaller than the first inclined angle A1. The respective inclined angles A1 and A2 are set in the range of 30° to 60°.

[0022] The second inclined portion 32 is disposed along the inclined direction of the pocket opening 71. The distance between the second inclined portion 32 and the pocket opening 71 is not less than 15 mm and not more than 40 mm.

[0023] A recess 10 is disposed above the protrusion 3a. The recess 10 is recessed into the inner surface of the fabric main body 2 and is formed integrally with the fabric main body 2. The recess 10 is disposed along the protrusion 3a.

[0024] Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the upper garment 1 taken along line VV in Fig. 4. Fig. 5 shows the cross-sectional shapes of the convex portion 3a and concave portion 10 located above the pocket opening 71. The convex portion 3a is formed integrally with the fabric main body 2 and protrudes from the outer surface side of the fabric main body 2 (the side opposite to the skin 11). The cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 3a is rectangular.

[0025] The recess 10 is adjacent to the protrusion 3a on the opposite side of the pocket opening 71. The cross-sectional shape of the recess 10 is rectangular. The depth h2 of the recess 10 is greater than 1 mm and not greater than 5 mm from the outer surface of the fabric body 2. When a protrusion and a recess are formed as in this embodiment, the sum of the height h1 of the protrusion and the depth h2 of the recess is set to be greater than 1 mm and not greater than 5 mm.

[0026] 5, the coating material S is provided along the convex portions 3a and the concave portions 10 on the inner surface side of the fabric body 2. The coating material S may also be provided along the convex portions 3a and the concave portions 10 on the outer surface side of the fabric body 2.

[0027] In Figure 4, a protrusion 3b is arranged above the hood opening 81. The protrusion 3b is formed integrally with the fabric main body 2. The protrusion 3b protrudes toward the outer surface of the fabric main body 2. The protrusion 3b is arranged along the upper edge of the hood opening 81, from the left side in the body width direction of the hood opening 81 to the right side in the body width direction of the hood opening 81. The distance between the edge of the hood opening 81 and the protrusion 3b is 15 mm or more and 40 mm or less.

[0028] A protrusion 3c is arranged on each of the left and right sleeves 6. The protrusion 3c is formed integrally with the fabric main body 2. The protrusion 3c protrudes from the outer surface of the fabric main body 2. The protrusion 3c is arranged at an angle extending outward in the width direction from the part of the sleeve 6 corresponding to the inside of the elbow when the wearer lowers their hand (elbow equivalent part 62) towards the sleeve end 61. The angle of inclination of the protrusion 3c changes on the way towards the sleeve end 61. The terminal position of the protrusion 3c is spaced upward from the sleeve end 61 by 30 mm or more.

[0029] The cross-sectional shapes of the protrusions 3b arranged at the hood opening 81 and the protrusions 3c arranged at the sleeves 6 are similar to the cross-sectional shapes of the protrusions shown in FIG. 2 or FIG.

[0030] The protrusions 3a, 3b, 3c and recesses 10 of this embodiment are preferably formed by the method (a), which is relatively easy and inexpensive, but may be formed by other methods. The protrusions and recesses are formed by an appropriate method depending on the type and purpose of the clothing to be worn.

[0031] The clothing 1 according to this embodiment has the following advantages.

[0032] (1) The garment 1 comprises a fabric body 2 and The fabric body 2 has protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c formed integrally with the fabric body 2 on the surface thereof for controlling the flow of fluid. A coating agent S for forming the convex portions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c; Equipped with.

[0033] As a result, the protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c are formed integrally with the fabric body 2, so the protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c do not peel off during use of the garment 1, preventing the loss of their fluid flow control function. Furthermore, because the coating agent S is used to form the protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c, the shape of the protrusions can be firmly maintained. This allows protrusions of a variety of shapes to be formed. Furthermore, there is no need to attach a separate member such as hydrophilic tape to control the fluid flow, and there is no need for a process for attaching a separate member, so manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[0034] (2) The coating material S is applied along the shapes of the protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c. As a result, the protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c can be formed with the smallest possible amount of coating agent S, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, with this configuration, protruding protrusions can be formed on the front surface of the fabric body, while recessed recesses can be simultaneously formed on the back surface of the fabric body.

[0035] (3) The protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c on the back surface 2b of the fabric body 2 are filled with the coating material S. As a result, the shape of the convex portion can be more firmly maintained.

[0036] (4) The coating agent S is silicone. As a result, by using silicone as the coating material S, the shape of the convex portions can be effectively and firmly maintained.

[0037] (5) The garment 1 is a top 1, The jacket 1 has a pocket 7 on the outer surface side of the jacket 1, The protrusion 3a protrudes from the outer surface of the upper garment 1, The protrusion 3a is disposed above the pocket opening 71 so as to cover the pocket opening 71, The convex portion 3a guides the flow of liquid such as rain in a desired direction.

[0038] As a result, when liquid such as rain moves downward along the surface of the upper garment 1 toward the pocket opening 71 due to gravity, the convex portion 3a located above the pocket opening 71 can block the liquid such as rain, thereby preventing the liquid such as rain from flowing into the pocket opening 71.

[0039] (6) Top 1 is Above the protrusion 3a, there is a recess 10 that is disposed at least along the protrusion 3a and is recessed toward the inner surface of the upper garment 1.

[0040] As a result, rain or other liquid blocked by the protrusions 3a flows into the recesses 10, allowing the liquid to flow without departing from any guide direction. The recesses 10 may be arranged above the protrusions 3b arranged on the sleeves 6 and / or the protrusions 3c arranged above the hood opening 81, along these protrusions 3b, 3c.

[0041] (7) The garment 1 is a top 1, The jacket 1 has a hood 8, The protrusion 3b protrudes from the outer surface of the hood 8. The protrusion 3b is disposed along at least the upper edge of the hood opening 81, The convex portion 3b guides the flow of liquid such as rain in a desired direction.

[0042] As a result, rain or other liquid flowing toward the hood opening 81 is blocked by the convex portion 3b and directed to the side, preventing the rain or other liquid from blocking the wearer's line of sight.

[0043] (8) The garment 1 is a long-sleeved top 1, The protrusion 3c protrudes toward the outer surface of the long sleeve 6, The protrusions 3c are arranged so as to extend outward in the body width direction from a region 62 corresponding to the inside of the elbow when the wearer lowers the hand toward the sleeve end 61, The convex portion 3c guides the flow of liquid such as rain in a desired direction.

[0044] As a result, rain or other liquids that try to flow from the shoulders or other areas of the top 1 toward the hands are blocked by the convex portions 3c and directed outward in the width direction of the body, preventing rain or other liquids from reaching the backs and palms of the hands. This prevents rainwater from flowing from the shoulders or other areas when taking an address position while playing golf on rainy days, preventing the palms and backs of the hands from getting wet, allowing the wearer to grip the golf club more firmly.

[0045] When rain or other liquid falls into the area between the pocket opening 71 and the convex portion 3a, there is no obstacle such as the convex portion 3a to block the flow of the rain or other liquid in the flow direction, so there is a possibility that the rain or other liquid will flow into the pocket opening 71. By arranging the convex portion 3a along the pocket opening 71 as in this embodiment, the area between the pocket opening 71 and the convex portion 3a can be made smaller, and therefore the possibility of rain or other liquid flowing into the pocket opening 71 can be reduced.

[0046] In this embodiment, rain or other liquid can be guided by the inclined portions 31, 32 to flow downward toward the outside in the width direction according to the inclination of the convex portion 3a. The convex portion may also be inclined downward toward the inside in the width direction. In this case, rain or other liquid can be guided downward toward the inside in the width direction according to the inclination of the convex portion.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first inclined portion 31 corresponds to the upstream side of the guide direction of the flow F1 of liquid such as rain, and the second inclined portion 32 corresponds to the downstream side of the guide direction of the flow of liquid such as rain. As a result, liquid such as rain is blocked by the first inclined portion 31, which has a large inclination angle (i.e., close to horizontal), and is then forcefully swept outward in the width direction of the body by the second inclined portion 32, which has a small inclination angle (i.e., close to vertical). Therefore, the upper garment 1 can have the function of blocking the flow of liquid such as rain, and the function of swept away liquid such as rain, in any direction.

[0048] When the convex portion extends downward toward the inside in the body width direction, the downstream side of the guide direction of the flow of liquid such as rain corresponds to the first inclined portion, and the first inclined angle is smaller than the second inclined angle. Therefore, the liquid such as rain is blocked by the second inclined portion and then vigorously swept toward the inside in the body width direction by the first inclined portion, leaving the upper garment 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the height h1 of the protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c from the outer surface of the fabric main body 2 is greater than 1 mm, which effectively guides the flow of liquids such as rain and air. Furthermore, by setting the height h1 to 5 mm or less, the protrusions can be stably formed using the protrusion molding method described above. Also, because the protrusions 3, 3a, 3b, and 3c are formed integrally with the fabric main body 2, it is easier to increase their height from the fabric surface compared to attaching a separate member such as tape to the fabric main body.

[0050] Among the protrusions in this embodiment, the arrangement and shape of the protrusion 3a arranged above the pocket opening may be changed as appropriate depending on the arrangement and shape of the pocket, as long as it covers at least the upper side of the pocket opening. For example, if the pocket is arranged in a position on the front body corresponding to the wearer's chest and the pocket opening extends approximately horizontally, the protrusion may be arranged so that a part of the protrusion is arranged above and along the pocket opening, and another part of the protrusion that is continuous with the part of the protrusion extends downward inward or outward in the body width direction.

[0051] [Second embodiment] Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a hat 12 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, viewed from the front. The hat 12 is formed from a fabric body 2. As shown in Fig. 6, the hat 12 is a cap having a crown 14, a top button 15, and a brim 13. The hat may be a general hat with a brim, such as a hat. The fabric body 2 of the hat 12 may be water-repellent.

[0052] The brim 13 is connected to the lower edge of the crown 14. The brim 13 extends a predetermined length in a generally horizontal direction so as to cast a shadow on at least a portion of the wearer's face. The brim 13 has a brim core (not shown) that forms the shape of the brim 13 itself. The brim 13 is formed by the fabric main body 2 of the brim 13 covering the brim core. The brim core has a generally flat shape.

[0053] The brim 13 has a protrusion 3d that extends forward from the center of the body width outward in the body width direction. The protrusion 3d is formed integrally with the fabric body 2 of the brim 13 and protrudes toward the outer surface side of the brim 13. That is, in the second embodiment, the "outer surface side" corresponds to the "front side" and the "inner surface side" corresponds to the "back side." The end position of the protrusion 3d is located on the periphery of the brim 13 excluding the front edge. The protrusion 3d of the brim 13 has the same cross-sectional shape as the protrusion 3 shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3.

[0054] The protrusions 3d according to the second embodiment are formed by the above method (a), but may be formed by the above method (b) or (c) in order to form protrusions with greater rigidity.

[0055] The garment 12 according to this embodiment provides the following advantages.

[0056] (9) The clothing 12 is a hat 12, The hat 12 has a brim 13, The protrusion 3d protrudes from the outer surface of the flange 13. The protrusion 3d is arranged to extend forward from the center of the body width outward in the body width direction, The convex portion 3d guides the flow of liquid such as rain in a desired direction.

[0057] As a result, rain or other liquid flowing toward the front of brim 13 is blocked by convex portion 3d and directed to the side, preventing rain or other liquid from blocking the wearer's line of sight.

[0058] Furthermore, because the convex portion 3d is formed integrally with the fabric body 2, it can be formed more easily than when the convex portion is formed on the brim by forming the convex portion on the brim core. This also has the advantage of allowing greater freedom in designing the convex portion shape. A recess 10 (see Fig. 5) may be arranged behind the convex portion 3d so as to follow the convex portion 3d.

[0059] [Third embodiment] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a lower garment 16 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, viewed from the front. The lower garment 16 is formed from a fabric body 2. As shown in FIG. 7, the lower garment 16 is a pair of trousers having a front body section 17, a back body section (not shown), and two pockets 18, with the front body section 17 and the back body section extending from a position corresponding to the wearer's waist to a position corresponding to the ankles. The lower garment may be so-called three-quarter-length trousers, in which the front body section and the back body section extend to a position corresponding to the wearer's knees and ankles, or so-called shorts, in which the front body section 17 and the back body section extend to a position corresponding to the wearer's waist and knees. The lower garment 16 of this embodiment may be water-repellent.

[0060] The two pockets 18 are arranged on either side of the center of the body width on the upper side of the front body 17. Pocket openings 181, which are the entrances to each pocket 18, are arranged at the outer end of the pocket 18 in the body width direction and are inclined downward outward in the body width direction.

[0061] A protrusion 3e is arranged above each pocket opening 181 so as to cover both ends of the pocket opening 181. Like the pocket openings 181, the protrusions 3e are inclined downward outward in the body width direction. The protrusions 3e are formed integrally with the fabric main body 2 and protrude toward the outer surface side of the fabric main body 2. That is, in the third embodiment, the "outer surface side" corresponds to the "front surface side" and the "inner surface side" corresponds to the "rear surface side". A portion of the protrusion 3a is arranged along the inclination direction of the pocket opening 181. The distance between the pocket opening 181 and the portion of the protrusion 3e that is aligned with the pocket opening 181 is 15 mm or more and 40 mm or less. The protrusions 3e have the same cross-sectional shape as the protrusions 3 shown in FIG. 2 or 3.

[0062] The protrusions 3e according to the third embodiment are formed by the above-mentioned method (a), but may also be formed by the above-mentioned method (b) or (c) in order to form protrusions with greater rigidity.

[0063] The clothing 16 according to this embodiment provides the following effects.

[0064] (10) The garment 16 is a lower garment 16, The lower garment 16 has a pocket 18 on the outer surface side of the lower garment 16, The protrusion 3e protrudes from the outer surface of the lower garment 16, The protrusion 3e is disposed above the pocket opening 181 so as to cover the pocket opening 181. The convex portion 3e guides the flow of liquid such as rain in a desired direction.

[0065] As a result, when liquid such as rain flows down the surface of the lower garment 16 due to gravity and moves downward toward the pocket opening 181, the convex portion 3e located above the pocket opening 181 can block the liquid such as rain, thereby preventing the liquid such as rain from flowing into the pocket opening 181.

[0066] Although only a protrusion 3e is arranged in the lower garment 16 of the third embodiment, a recess may be arranged along the protrusion, as in the upper garment 1 of the first embodiment. The arrangement and shape of the protrusion may be changed as appropriate depending on the arrangement and shape of the pocket, as long as it covers at least the upper side of the pocket opening. For example, if a hip pocket is arranged on the back of the lower garment, the protrusion may be arranged along the upper side of the hip pocket opening so as to cover the opening.

[0067] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of an upper garment 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, viewed from the back. The upper garment 100 is formed from a fabric body 2. As shown in FIG. 8, the upper garment 100 is an innerwear having a front body (not shown), a back body 5, and sleeves 6. The innerwear is an upper garment in which the fabric body is in close contact with the skin. The sleeves 6 are connected to the back body 5 at positions corresponding to the wearer's shoulders. Cuffs 61 of the sleeves 6 extend to positions corresponding to the wearer's upper arms.

[0068] A plurality of protruding portions 3f are arranged on the back body 5. The protruding portions 3f are formed integrally with the fabric main body 2. The protruding portions 3f protrude toward the inner surface side of the fabric main body 2. That is, in the fourth embodiment, the "outer surface side" corresponds to the "rear surface side" and the "inner surface side" corresponds to the "front surface side." The plurality of protruding portions 3f include a first protruding portion 33 arranged in the center of the body width and four second protruding portions 34, two on each side of the first protruding portion 33 in the body width direction. The first protruding portions 33 and the second protruding portions 34 extend in the vertical direction. The second protruding portions 34 are inclined from below toward the inside in the body width direction.

[0069] The first convex portion 33 extends from a height H1 corresponding to the wearer's waist to a height H2 corresponding to the wearer's armpits. The second convex portion 34 extends from a height H3 corresponding to the sleeve end 61 to a height H4 corresponding to the wearer's neck.

[0070] Each second protrusion 34 has a first inclined portion 341 and a second inclined portion 342 with different inclination angles. The inclination angle means an acute angle with respect to the vertical direction. The first inclined portion 341 and the second inclined portion 342 are continuous. The second inclined portion 342 is disposed inward in the body width direction from the first inclined portion 341. The first inclined portion 341 has a first inclined angle B1. The second inclined portion 342 has a second inclined angle B2. The second inclined angle B2 is smaller than the first inclined angle B1. The inclination angles B1 and B2 are set in the range of 10° to 20°.

[0071] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the upper garment 1 taken along line IX-IX in FIG. 8. FIG. 9 shows the cross-sectional shape of a convex portion 3f arranged on the back body 5. The convex portion 3f is formed integrally with the fabric main body 2 and protrudes toward the inner surface side (skin 11 side) of the fabric main body 2. The convex portion 3f includes three adjacent convex portions 3f1-3f3. The convex portions 3f1-3f3 have a tapered shape such that the tips of the convex portions are narrower, and the width w1 of the tips of the convex portions is smaller than the width w2 of the base ends of the convex portions. The width of the base ends of the convex portions is set in the range of 10 mm to 15 mm, and the width of the tips of the convex portions is set in the range of 2 mm to 4 mm. The distance L between adjacent convex portions 3f1-3f3 is 4 mm or less. The application agent S is applied along the convex portions 3f on the outer surface side of the fabric main body 2. The application agent S may also be applied along the convex portions 3f on the inner surface side of the fabric main body 2.

[0072] Since the protrusions 3f according to the fourth embodiment are formed on the innerwear, they are preferably molded by the above-mentioned method (a) or (d), which allows for the formation of lightweight protrusions with a relatively small amount of silicone. Furthermore, to prevent the silicone from coming into direct contact with human skin, it is preferable that the application agent S be applied to the outer surface side of the fabric body 2.

[0073] The clothing 100 according to this embodiment has the following advantages.

[0074] (11) The garment 100 is an upper garment 100, The protrusion 3f is disposed so as to protrude toward the inner surface of the upper garment 100, The protrusion 3f guides the air flow in a desired direction.

[0075] As a result, the tips of the protrusions 3f come into contact with the skin 11, and a predetermined space is formed between the fabric body 2 where the protrusions 3f are not present and the skin 11. This allows air to actively flow into the predetermined space, allowing hot air inside the upper garment 100 to flow out of the upper garment 100.

[0076] (12) The upper garment 100 has a plurality of protrusions 3f, The plurality of protruding portions 3f include two or more protruding portions 3f1 to 3f3 that are arranged adjacent to each other and protrude toward the inner surface of the upper garment 1, The plurality of protrusions 3f are a first protrusion 33 arranged to extend in the vertical direction at the center of the body width; At least two second protrusions 34 are arranged on both sides of the first protrusion 33 so as to extend in the vertical direction and are inclined from below toward the inside in the body width direction. Equipped with.

[0077] As a result, compared to an upper garment consisting of only one protrusion, even when the upper garment stretches due to body movement, the protrusion is less likely to collapse, ensuring an air flow path. Furthermore, an air flow path is formed between each of the protrusions 33, 34, and since each of the left and right second protrusions 34 is inclined from below toward the inside in the body width direction, the width of the air flow path becomes smaller toward the top.

[0078] Generally, air inside the upper garment flows from bottom to top (see fluid flow F6), so upstream corresponds to bottom and downstream corresponds to top. That is, the arrangement of the convex portions 3f in this embodiment means that the downstream flow path width is smaller than the upstream flow path width. This arrangement of the convex portions 3f allows air taken in upstream to flow forcefully downstream, allowing hot air inside the upper garment 100 to efficiently flow out of the upper garment 100.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first inclined portion 341 with a large inclination angle corresponds to the upstream side, and the second inclined portion 342 with a small inclination angle corresponds to the downstream side. Because the second inclination angle B2 is smaller than the first inclination angle B1, the width of the flow path further downstream is narrowed, and the air flows more forcefully, allowing the hot air inside the upper garment 100 to flow out of the upper garment 100 more efficiently.

[0080] In this embodiment, the width w1 of the tip of the convex portion is smaller than the width w2 of the base of the convex portion, so the contact area between the tip of the convex portion and human skin is minimized, thereby reducing discomfort caused by the upper garment 100 coming into close contact with human skin due to sweat.

[0081] The upper garment may be a general upper garment such as a jacket or shirt. The number of first convex portions 33 and second convex portions 34 is not limited to that of the present embodiment. The second convex portions may extend in the vertical direction parallel to the first convex portions 33 without being inclined. The number of convex portions 3f1 to 3f3 is not limited to three. The cross-sectional shape of the convex portions is not limited to a tapered shape, and the width of the tip of the convex portion may be reduced by, for example, a stepped shape. Furthermore, the convex portions 3f according to the fourth embodiment are arranged on the back of the upper garment 100, but may also be arranged on the front of the upper garment 100.
