Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, although the polo shirt of Patent Document 1 has ventilation by communicating the inside and outside of the clothing through the opening part and the mesh part, there is room for improvement in the ventilation between the inside and outside of the clothing.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an upper garment capable of improving the ventilation between the inside and outside of the upper garment.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] One aspect of the present invention is an upper garment main body that is worn on the upper body of a wearer and has a ventilation part located at least on the upper side of the back of the wearer, and a covering part that covers the outer surface of the ventilation part and has a lower edge part in which a concave part recessed upward is formed at a position corresponding to the central part in the width direction. The present invention provides an upper garment. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, during arm swinging movements such as running, the covering portion can be easily separated from and brought into contact with the ventilation portion on the left and right sides, using the recess as a pivot point (making it easier to flap). More specifically, when the covering portion separates from the ventilation portion, it is easier to take in air from the outside to the inside of the garment, and when the covering portion comes into contact with the ventilation portion, it is easier to expel air from the inside to the outside of the garment, thus providing a garment that can improve ventilation both inside and outside the garment.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a front view of the upper garment 1 as an upper garment according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rear view of the upper garment 1. Hereinafter, the up and down, left and right, and front and back of the upper garment 1 are defined based on the state in which the wearer wearing the upper garment 1 stands upright. Further, the direction from the outer surface in the thickness direction of the fabric toward the inside is the inner surface side, and the reverse is the outer surface side, the direction toward the outer side in the width direction is the outer side, and the direction toward the center side in the width direction is the inner side.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper garment 1 includes an upper garment body 10 that is worn on the upper body of the wearer and has a ventilation part 20 located at least on the upper side of the back of the wearer, and a covering part 30 disposed on the outer surface of the ventilation part 20.

[0012] The upper garment body 10 is, for example, a woven fabric and / or a knitted fabric. The upper garment body 10 may be, for example, a thin knitted fabric, a lightweight material, 100% polyethylene (PE) knitting, and a woven fabric. In the present embodiment, it is a knitted structure of 100% polyester. The upper garment body 10 has at least a front body 11 and a back body 12, and further has sleeve parts 13 and a collar part 14. The front body 11 and the back body 12 respectively mean parts that cover the front and back of the wearer, and the front body 11 and the back body 12 are divided at both outer parts (side lines SL) in the width direction. The pattern before sewing that constitutes the upper garment body 10 does not necessarily have to be formed to coincide with the division between the front body and the back body, the front body and the back body may include two or more patterns, or the front body 11 and the back body 12 may be integrally formed.

[0013] In the present embodiment, the front body 11 includes a front body pattern 11a and a front side portion 15a of the side gusset pattern 15. The back body 12 includes a back body pattern 12a and a rear side portion 15b of the side gusset pattern 15. The front body pattern 11a and the back body pattern 12a are connected via the side gusset pattern 15.

[0014] The front body pattern 11a and the back body pattern 12a are stitched at the shoulders 10a and the sides 10b. In the present embodiment, since a side gusset pattern 15 is provided between the front body pattern 11a and the back body pattern 12a, the front body pattern 11a and the back body pattern 12a are also stitched with the side gusset pattern 15. The front body pattern 11a and the back body pattern 12a are not stitched at the neckline part 10c, the armhole part 10d, and the hem part 10e. The sleeve pattern 13a that constitutes the sleeve part 13 is stitched to the armhole part 10d. The collar pattern 14a that constitutes the collar part 14 is stitched to the neckline part 10c.

[0015] Figure 3 is a rear view of the upper garment 1 with the covering part 30 removed. As shown in Figure 3, the back body pattern 12a has a back body main body 16 that constitutes the lower part of the back body pattern 12a and a mesh part 17 connected to the upper end of the back body main body 16. In the present embodiment, the ventilation part 20 is constituted by the mesh part 17. In other words, the ventilation part 20 is located at least on the upper side of the back of the upper garment main body 10. In the present embodiment, the back body main body 16 is generally the part below the lower end of the armhole part 10d, and the mesh part 20 is generally the part above the lower end of the armhole part 10d.

[0016] The back body main body 16 covers the lower part of the wearer's back. The back body main body 16 has a bulging part 16b that bulges upward at the central part in the width direction of the upper edge part 16a. The bulging part 16b bulges upward from both side parts in the width direction of the back body main body 16 toward the center. More specifically, the inclination angle with respect to the center line CL increases toward the uppermost part 16e of the bulging part 16b. The bulging part 16b has a main body arc part 16c that extends from the center in the width direction to both outer sides in the width direction and a pair of left and right main body inclined parts 16d that incline downward from both end parts of the main body arc part 16c toward the outer side in the width direction. The main body arc part 16c has a curvature center located on the hem part 10e side. At least a part of the main body arc part 16c has a part located above the lower end 10f of the armhole part 10d. The uppermost part 16e of the main body arc part 16c is located above the lower end 10f of the armhole part 10d.

[0017] The mesh section 20 only needs to be made of a fabric with higher breathability than the back body main body 16, for example, a breathability of 200 cm. 3 / (cm 2 A highly breathable mesh fabric (permeable fabric with excellent breathability) of the same quality as / s (JIS L1096 Fragile method), etc., 300cm 3 / (cm 2 A breathability of 1 / s or higher is preferable. The mesh section 20 uses free-cut fabric (fabric that does not fray at the cut edges), which reduces the weight of the fabric. The mesh section 20 covers the upper part of the wearer's back.

[0018] The lower edge portion 20a of the mesh portion 20 has a shape complementary to the upper edge portion 16a of the back body 16. More specifically, the mesh portion 20 has a ventilation recess 21 that is recessed upward in the widthwise center of the lower edge portion 20a. The ventilation recess 21 is recessed upward from both sides in the widthwise direction toward the center of the back body 16. More specifically, the angle of inclination of the ventilation recess 21 with respect to the center line CL increases toward the bottommost portion 21c of the ventilation recess 21. The ventilation recess 21 has a ventilation arc portion 21a that extends outward from the widthwise center toward both sides in the widthwise direction, and a pair of left and right ventilation inclined portions 21b that are inclined downward toward the widthwise side toward the widthwise side toward both ends of the ventilation arc portion 21a. The center of curvature of the ventilation arc portion 21a is located toward the hem portion 10e side.

[0019] In this embodiment, the back bodice pattern 12a is completed by sewing together the main body arc portion 16c and the ventilation arc portion 21a, and the left and right pair of main body inclined portions 16d and the left and right pair of ventilation inclined portions 21b, respectively.

[0020] Referring to Figure 2, the covering portion 30 is, for example, a woven and / or knitted fabric. The covering portion 30 is, for example, a knitted structure of 100% polyester with an air permeability of 50 cm. 3 / (cm 2 / s) or more 300cm 3 / (cm 2The duration is less than or equal to / s. The covering portion 30 is located above the vertical center of the back body 12 and covers the outer surface of the ventilation portion 20. The covering portion 30 generally matches the shape of the ventilation portion 20, and the ventilation portion 20 is covered by the covering portion 30.

[0021] More specifically, the width dimension of the covering portion 30 is the same as that of the ventilation portion 20 (back body pattern 12a), and the vertical dimension of the covering portion 30 is set to be longer than that of the ventilation portion 20. In other words, the vertical position of the lower edge portion 33 of the covering portion 30 is preferably positioned below the lower edge portion 20a of the ventilation portion 20. For example, the lower edge portion 33 of the covering portion 30 is preferably positioned 40 mm to 120 mm below the lower edge portion 20a of the ventilation portion 20, for example, 100 mm below (vertical difference ΔH between the lower edge portion 20a and the lower edge portion 33). Therefore, when the covering portion 30 is attached to the main body of the garment 10, the ventilation portion 20 is not exposed to the outside.

[0022] The covering portion 30 has an upper end portion 31 and a side portion 32, and a lower edge portion 33 which has a covering recess 35 that is recessed upward at a position corresponding to the center portion in the width direction.

[0023] In this embodiment, the upper end portion 31 is sewn to the shoulder portion 10a and the collar portion 14. More specifically, the upper end portion 31 has a first upper end portion 31a located in the center in the width direction and having a shape corresponding to the neck portion 10c, and a second upper end portion 31b that slopes downward toward the outside in the width direction from the first upper end portion 31a and has a shape corresponding to the shoulder portion 10a.

[0024] The side portion 32 is sewn downward from the outer end in the width direction of the upper end portion 31 to the armhole portion 10d and the side gusset pattern 15. More specifically, the side portion 32 has a first side portion 32a having a shape corresponding to the armhole portion 10d, a second side portion 32b that slopes inward in the width direction downward from the lower end of the first side portion 32a and has a shape corresponding to the side gusset pattern 15, and a third side portion 32c that slopes outward in the width direction downward from the lower end of the second side portion 32b and has a shape corresponding to the side gusset pattern 15.

[0025] The lower edge portion 33 is not sewn to the main body of the garment 10 and is therefore separable. A pair of fastening points 33a are provided at both ends of the lower edge portion 33 in the width direction, and are sewn to the back body pattern 12a. In this embodiment, the pair of fastening points 33a coincide with the lower end (lower end of the third side portion 32c) 32d of the side portion 32. In other words, the pair of fastening points 33a are provided in the back body 12 in the width direction inward from the pair of side seams SL.

[0026] The covering portion 30 has a length that overlaps, for example, the vertical position of the wearer's scapula. The vertical dimension H1 of the covering portion 30 is preferably 200 mm or more and 400 mm or less, for example, set to 300 mm. If the vertical dimension H1 is less than 200 mm, the lower edge portion 33 of the covering portion 30 is located above the scapula, so flapping is less likely to occur, and if the vertical dimension H1 exceeds 400 mm, it is more likely to overlap the area of ​​the wearer that sweats a lot. The vertical dimension H1 is the vertical distance between the upper end portion 31 and the lower edge portion 33 of the covering portion 30, and in this embodiment, it is the distance between the upper end portion 31 located on the center line CL and the outer end (fastening point) 33a in the width direction of the lower edge portion 33. The vertical dimension H1 may also be the distance from the wearer's back neck point to the lower edge portion 33. The back neck point is the tip of the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebra, the cervical point, in accordance with JIS L0111:2006.

[0027] The covering recess 35 is recessed upward from both sides in the width direction toward the center. More specifically, the angle of inclination of the covering recess 35 with respect to the center line CL increases toward the lowest point 35c of the covering recess 35. The covering recess 35 has a covering arc portion 35a extending outward from the center in the width direction on both sides, and a pair of left and right covering inclined portions 35b that inclin downward toward the outside in the width direction from both ends of the covering arc portion 35a. The covering arc portion 35a is provided such that the lowest point 35c of the arc coincides with the center line CL, and the covering recess 35 is symmetrical with respect to the center line CL. The center of curvature of the covering arc portion 35a is located toward the base portion 10e.

[0028] The covering recess 35 is inclined upward from a pair of left and right fastening points 33a toward the lowest point 35c. The depth H2 of the covering recess 35 is preferably 40 mm or more and 120 mm or less, for example, set to 100 mm. The depth H2 of the covering recess 35 is the vertical distance from the lowest point of the lower edge portion 33 to the lowest point 35c of the covering recess 35. In this embodiment, the lowest point is the fastening point 33a (the outermost point of the covering inclined portion 35b), and the lowest point 35c is the upper end of the covering arc portion 35a.

[0029] The covering recess 35 has a stepped portion 35d between a pair of left and right fastening points 33a and the lowest point 35c. More specifically, the stepped portion 35d is formed between the covering arc portion 35a and the covering inclined portion 35b. The inclination angle α1 of the covering inclined portion 35b with respect to a virtual line L1 connecting the fastening points 33a is smaller than the inclination angle α2 of the tangent line passing through the lower end of the covering arc portion 35a with respect to the virtual line L1. The stepped portion 35d is formed by the difference between the inclination angle α1 of the covering inclined portion 35b and the inclination angle α2 of the tangent line L2 passing through the lower end of the covering arc portion 35a. The difference between the inclination angle α1 and the inclination angle α2 is preferably 10 degrees or more and 30 degrees or less, for example, set to 25 degrees. In this embodiment, the inclination angle α1 is set to 15 degrees and the inclination angle α2 is set to 40 degrees.

[0030] The circumference W3 of the lower edge 33 of the covering portion 30 between the pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right is greater than the dimension W1 of the body fabric (back body pattern 12a) between the pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right. The circumference W3 is the length of the covering arc portion 35a and the pair of covering inclined portions 35b on the left and right. The ratio of the circumference W3 to the dimension W1 is preferably 105% or more and 130% or less, for example, it is set to 100%.

[0031] In this embodiment, the widthwise dimension W4 of the covering portion 30 between the pair of left and right fastening points 33a is approximately the same as the dimension W1 of the back body fabric between the pair of left and right fastening points 33a. Therefore, when the jacket 1 is laid flat, the covering portion 30 is positioned on the back body 16 without any bending.

[0032] The upper garment 1 according to this embodiment provides the following effects.

[0033] The upper garment 1 is worn on the upper body of the wearer and includes an upper garment body 10 equipped with a ventilation section 20 located at least on the upper side of the wearer's back, The ventilation section 20 has a covering section 30 which has a lower edge section 33 that covers the outer surface of the ventilation section 20 and has a covering recess 35 that is recessed upward at a position corresponding to the center in the width direction.

[0034] According to the present invention, a covering recess 35 is provided on the lower edge 33 of the covering portion 30 that covers the ventilation portion 20 located at least on the upper side of the back of the main body of the jacket 10. As a result, during arm swinging movements such as running, the covering portion 30 can be easily moved independently to the left and right, separating from and coming into contact with the ventilation portion 20, using the covering recess 35 as a pivot point (making it easy to flap). More specifically, when the covering portion 30 separates from the ventilation portion 20, it is easier to take in air from the outside to the inside of the jacket, and when the covering portion 30 comes into contact with the ventilation portion 20, it is easier to expel air from the inside to the outside of the jacket 1, thereby improving the ventilation of the inside and outside of the jacket 1.

[0035] More specifically, if the covering portion 30 does not have a covering recess 35 (for example, if the lower edge portion 33 is a straight line parallel to the width direction, and the covering portion 30 is not independent on the left and right sides), for example, when swinging the left arm forward and the right arm backward, the left covering portion 30 moves forward to the left and moves in a direction that comes into contact with the wearer's back, while the right covering portion 30 moves backward to move away from the wearer's back. However, because the covering portions 30 are not independent on the left and right sides, the right covering portion 30 tries to move forward in conjunction with the left covering portion 30, making it easy for the right covering portion 30 to come into contact with the wearer's back (making it difficult to move it away).

[0036] In contrast, by providing a covering recess 35 in the covering portion 30, the circumference of the lower edge portion 33 of the covering portion 30 can be extended, and as a result, the covering portion 30 can be made independent of the left and right sides. This makes it less likely for the right covering portion 30 to move in conjunction with the left covering portion 30 when swinging the arms as described above, and allows the right covering portion 30 to be separated from the wearer's back, making it easier to take in outside air between the covering portion 30 and the ventilation portion 20 (making it easier to flap).

[0037] The covering portion 30 is sewn to the main body of the garment 10 at its upper end 31 and side portions 32.

[0038] With this configuration, the main body of the jacket 10 and the covering portion 30 are sewn together, so the covering portion 30 can be formed without using other products. Since the covering portion 30 is sewn only at the upper end 31 and the side portions 32, the remaining portion is easily allowed to flap, which can further improve the ventilation of the jacket 1. In other words, the lower edge of the covering portion 30 is not sewn and has a so-called loose structure, making it easy to flap.

[0039] The vertical distance H2 from the lowest point 33a of the lower edge portion 33 to the lowest point 35c of the covered recess 35 is 40 mm or more.

[0040] With this configuration, the vertical distance H2 from the lowest point 33a of the lower edge portion 33 to the lowest point 35c of the covering recess 35 is appropriately set, which can improve ventilation through flapping. If the vertical distance H2 is less than 40 mm, it is difficult to form independent left and right portions of the covering portion 30. Therefore, it is difficult to separate the left and right portions of the covering portion 30 and make them come into contact with the ventilation portion 20 (making them difficult to flap), and ventilation may not be improved. In addition, the weight of the fabric tends to be excessive, making it difficult to flap.

[0041] The vertical distance H2 from the lowest point 33a of the lower edge portion 33 to the lowest point 35c of the covering recess 35 is 120 mm or less.

[0042] With this configuration, the vertical distance H2 from the lowest point 33a of the lower edge portion 33 to the lowest point 35c of the covering recess 35 is appropriately set, which can improve ventilation through flapping. If the vertical distance H2 exceeds 120 mm, the covering portion 30 becomes too independent on the left and right sides, and the left and right covering portions 30 tend to turn inside out with the recess as the base point. As a result, when performing arm swinging movements, etc., it may be difficult to separate the left and right independent covering portions 30 from the ventilation portion 20 (making them difficult to flap), and ventilation may not be improved. In addition, the amount of covering portion in the center of the back may be reduced, which may prevent the flapping effect in the center of the back from being obtained.

[0043] The lower edge portion 33 has a pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right sides at both ends in the width direction, which are fixed to the back body 12, and the covering recess 35 is inclined upward from the pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right sides toward the lowest point 35c.

[0044] With this configuration, by tilting upward from the pair of fastening points 33a on both ends toward the lowest point 35c, the flapping of the covering portion 30 is easily caused at the center of the back, making it easier for the covering portion 30 to flap naturally.

[0045] The covering recess 35 has one or more stepped portions 35d between the pair of left and right fastening points 33a and the lowest point 35c.

[0046] According to this configuration, the stepped portion 35 formed on the lower edge portion 33 of the covering portion 30 between the pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right makes it easier to increase the area of ​​the left and right independent portions of the covering portion 30, and makes it easier to separate the covering portion 30 from the main body of the jacket 1 while keeping the left and right sides independent.

[0047] The pair of fastening points on the left and right are located inward in the width direction from the left and right side seams SL on the back panel 12.

[0048] With this configuration, compared to the case where the pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right are positioned on the side seam SL, the width dimension of the fabric of the left and right independent covering parts 30 can be reduced, making it easier to reduce the weight of the fabric of the covering part 30 and making it easier to flap the covering part 30.

[0049] The circumference W3 of the lower edge 33 of the covering portion 30 between the pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right is greater than the dimension W1 of the back body fabric 12 between the pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right.

[0050] With this configuration, there is extra space in the circumference W3 of the covering portion 30 relative to the dimensions W1 of the body fabric, making it easy to separate the covering portion 30 from the main body of the garment 10 when wearing it. [Examples]

[0051] For the garments in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, temperature, relative temperature, absolute temperature, and flapping amount were measured at the back of the garment during exercise. The results of these measurements are shown in Table 1. Figures 2, 4-7 show the back views of the garments in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2.

[0052] Comparative Example 1 is the jacket 101 shown in Figure 4, in which the lower edge 133 of the covering portion 130 does not have a recess and is straight, and the fastening point 133a is positioned inward in the width direction from the side seam SL on the front body 11. Comparative Example 2 is the jacket 201 shown in Figure 5, in which the lower edge 233 of the covering portion 230 does not have a recess and is straight, and the fastening point 233a is positioned inward in the width direction from the side seam SL on the back body 12. Example 1 is the jacket 301 shown in Figure 6, in which the lower edge 333 of the covering portion 330 has an arc-shaped covering recess 335 that is recessed upward toward the center in the width direction, and the fastening point 333a is positioned inward in the width direction from the side seam SL on the front body 11. Example 2 is the jacket 401 shown in Figure 7, in which the lower edge 433 of the covering portion 430 has an arc-shaped covering recess 435 that is recessed upward toward the center in the width direction, and the fastening point 433a is positioned inward in the width direction from the side seam SL on the back body 12. Example 3 is the jacket 1 shown in Figure 2, in which the lower edge 33 of the covering portion 30 has a covering recess 35 that is recessed upward toward the center in the width direction and has a stepped portion 35d, and the fastening point 33a is positioned inward in the width direction from the side seam SL on the back body 12.

[0053] Measurement tests of the temperature inside the garment, relative temperature, and absolute temperature during exercise were conducted using Comparative Example 1 and Example 1. The method for measuring the temperature inside the garment, relative temperature, and absolute temperature during exercise will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 6. In the measurement tests of the temperature inside the garment, relative temperature, and absolute temperature during exercise, temperature and humidity sensors were attached to the upper back Q1 and back Q2 of the subject, indicated by dashed circles in Figures 4 and 6, to measure the temperature and humidity inside the garment.

[0054] This specification describes the measurement of the temperature, relative temperature, and absolute temperature inside the upper garment of subjects during running. More specifically, subjects performed a 10-minute run after 5 minutes of standing rest, and the study consisted of a sweating phase in which sweating was induced during the 5-minute standing rest period, and an evaluation phase in which a 5-minute run was performed after the sweating phase. The environmental conditions were 25°C and 40% RH (artificial climate chamber). Two male subjects were used for the study. The temperature, relative temperature, and absolute temperature inside the upper garment at the back are the average values ​​of the values ​​one minute prior to the end of the sweating phase and the evaluation phase. The rate of temperature change, the rate of relative humidity change, and the rate of absolute humidity change are the ratio of the evaluation phase to the sweating phase, and are calculated as ((value of evaluation phase / value of sweating phase) - 1) × 100%.

[0055] Next, the method for measuring flapping amount will be described with reference to Figures 2, 4-8. In this specification, flapping amount refers to the change in the covering portion 30 relative to a reference point. More specifically, in measuring the flapping amount, as shown by the dashed-dotted circles in Figures 2, 4-7, markers were attached to points on the center line CL, points near the sides, and points near the midpoint between the two points, along the lower edges 33, 133, 233, 333, 433 of each covering portion 30, 130, 230, 330, 430, as well as to points near the sides. The behavior of the markers was photographed with an infrared camera, and the change in the coordinates of each marker relative to a reference point P0 set up behind the neck of the subject 9 shown in Figure 8 was measured. The amount of change was defined as the angle difference Δβ, which is the difference between the angle β2 (the angle when the flapping is at its maximum) formed by the line L3 drawn vertically from the reference point P0 behind the neck and the line L5 connecting the marker point P2 on the covering part 30 that is furthest from the back during movement, and the angle β1 (the angle when the flapping returns to normal) formed by the line L3 and the line L4 connecting the marker point P1 on the covering part 30 that is in contact with the back during movement and the reference point P0.

[0056] [Table 1]

[0057] As shown in Table 1, the internal temperature, relative temperature, and absolute temperature of the garment in Example 1 were all lower than those of Comparative Example 1. This result indicates that having a covering recess improves ventilation inside the garment. Furthermore, the amount of flapping was increased in Examples 1-3 compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, because there was no covering recess, it was necessary to lift the entire fabric, making flapping difficult. In Examples 1-3, the fabric in the center of the width direction of the covering portion is shorter, the fabric itself is lighter, and the covering portion can be easily separated into left and right sides. As a result, when swinging the arms, the right covering portion is less likely to move in conjunction with the left covering portion, making it easier to separate the left and right covering portions from the wearer's back, and making it easier to take in outside air between the covering portion and the ventilation portion (making it easier to flap).

[0058] Comparing Example 1 and Example 2, Example 2, where the fastening point is located on the back of the garment, resulted in a greater amount of flapping than Example 1, where the fastening point is located on the front of the garment. In Example 1, the covering part wraps around to the front of the garment, so compared to Example 2, the covering part is more likely to move in conjunction with the forward swing of the arm, and the covering part on the side of the arm swinging forward is more likely to come into contact with the back (making it difficult to flap).

[0059] In this embodiment, the pair of fastening points 33a on the left and right have been described as being located inward in the width direction from the pair of side seams SL on the back panel 12. However, the embodiment is not limited to this configuration, and as shown in Figure 6, the pair of fastening points 333a on the left and right may also be located inward in the width direction from the pair of side seams SL on the front panel 11.

[0060] This configuration allows for a wider coverage area of ​​the covering portion 330, thus widening the opening and making it easier to increase the swing range of the covering portion 330. The fabric of the left and right independent covering portions 330 can be easily coordinated with the movement of the arms, and can be easily made to flap during arm swings.

[0061] In this embodiment, the widthwise dimension W2 of the covering portion 30 between the left and right pair of fastening points 33a is described as being approximately the same as the dimension W1 of the body fabric between the left and right pair of fastening points. However, this is not the only configuration, and as shown in Figure 6, the widthwise dimension W12 of the covering portion 330 between the left and right pair of fastening points 333a may be smaller than the dimension W11 of the body fabric between the left and right pair of fastening points 333a.

[0062] With this configuration, compared to a case where there is extra space in the width direction dimension W12 of the covering portion relative to the dimensions W11 of the body fabric, it is easier to suppress wrinkles in the covering portion and improve the aesthetic appearance.

[0063] In this embodiment, the covering recess 35 has been described as having one stepped portion 35d on each side between a pair of left and right fastening points 33a, but it is not limited to this configuration. The covering recess 35 only needs to be inclined upward from the pair of left and right fastening points 33a toward the lowest point 35c, and as shown in Figure 6, the covering recess 335 may be an arc shape without a stepped portion, or it may be an inverted V shape as shown by the dashed line in Figure 6, or it may have two or more stepped portions.

[0064] In this embodiment, the ventilation section 20 has been described as being made of mesh material, but it is not limited to this, and as shown by the dashed line in Figure 6, the ventilation section may be an opening 320 formed in the back body 16. More specifically, the covering section 330 may be formed integrally with the sleeve section 313 and sewn to the upper body 310 only by the collar section 314 (neck area 310c) and the side seam SL.

[0065] In this embodiment, a configuration in which the back panel 12 comprises a back panel body 16 and a ventilation section 20 has been described, but it is not limited to this. As shown in the first modified example in Figure 9, the back panel 512 may comprise a back panel body 516, a neck extension 518 located below the collar 514, and a pair of left and right tape members 536 connecting the neck extension 518 and the back panel body 516. Figure 9 shows a garment 501 with a portion of the covering section 530 torn. In the first modified example, the pair of left and right tape members 536 comprises a right tape member 536a extending from the lower right end of the neck extension 518 in the body width direction toward the left side of the back panel body 516, and a left tape member 536b extending from the lower left end of the neck extension 518 in the body width direction toward the right side of the back panel body 516. The pair of left and right tape members 536 intersect at the center in the body width direction. As a result, the upper garment 501 is provided with a ventilation section 520 that is continuous in the width direction of the body, located in the central part of the back panel 512 in the vertical direction, on the inner side of the covering section 530.

[0066] This configuration allows for a reduction in the amount of fabric used for the back panel 512 (the number of fabric layers covering the back), and allows for an enlargement of the opening 520, making it easier to reduce the temperature and humidity inside the upper garment 501 at the back. Furthermore, the back panel 512 may be made of a free-cut material, in which case it can be made even lighter as there is no need to provide seam allowances, etc.

[0067] In this modified example, a configuration in which no fabric is placed between the back body 516 and the neck extension 518 has been described. However, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 9, an intermediate section 519 connecting the back body 516 and the neck extension 518 may be provided, following the shape of a pair of left and right tape members 536. In this case, the dimensions of the intermediate section 519 tend to be smaller in the body width direction than in the vertical direction, and the rigidity of the intermediate section 519 tends to decrease. In contrast, by placing the left and right tape members 536 on the intermediate section 519, the rigidity of the intermediate section 519 can be increased, thereby suppressing the fabric twisting (sagging) that may occur due to insufficient rigidity of the intermediate section 519. In Figure 9, for the sake of explanation, the outline of the intermediate section 519 and the pair of left and right tape members 536 are shown in a misaligned state, but they may coincide. The intermediate section 519 may be integrated with the back body 516 and the neck extension 518.

[0068] In the first modified example, a configuration in which a pair of left and right tape members 536 intersect at the center in the width direction of the body was described, but the invention is not limited to this, and the pair of left and right tape members do not have to intersect, as shown in the second modified example in Figure 10. More specifically, the pair of left and right tape members 636 have a left tape member 636a that extends from the lower left end in the width direction of the neck extension portion 618 toward the left side of the back body body 616, and a right tape member 636b that extends from the lower right end in the width direction of the neck extension portion 618 toward the right side of the back body body 616. In the second modified example, the back body body 616 and the intermediate portion 619 are one unit. Figure 10 shows a garment 601 in which a part of the covering portion 630 has been cut.

[0069] This configuration allows for an enlargement of the ventilation area (opening) 520 while reducing discomfort at the intersection of the left and right tape members when worn. This makes it easier to reduce the temperature and humidity inside the upper garment 601 at the back. For example, when mannequins wearing the first and second modified examples were provided with a wet area and the covering was flapped, a test was conducted in which the temperature and humidity inside the upper garment were measured with temperature and humidity sensors before and after the test. The results showed that in the second modified example, the temperature and humidity were suppressed by 25% compared to the first example.

[0070] In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the pair of left and right fastening points 33a coincide with the lowest point of the covering portion 30. However, the embodiment is not limited to this, and for example, the lowest point may be located inward in the width direction from the fastening points. In this case, the covering recess only needs to be inclined upward from the lowest point toward the bottom point.

[0071] In this embodiment, a configuration in which the covering portion 30 is sewn to the main body of the garment 10 has been described, but the invention is not limited to this. As shown in the modified version of the garment 701 in Figure 11, the covering portion 730, which has a covering recess 735, may be an outer garment worn over the main body of the garment 710, integrally formed with the sleeve portion 713. For example, it may be a bolero, and may be detachable from the main body of the garment 710 (front body 711 and back body 712). In addition to a bolero, the outer garment may be a jacket, blouson, shirt, or sleeveless garment.

[0072] In this embodiment, the upper garment 1 has been described in an example of use in running, but it is not limited to this and can be applied to clothing for tennis, table tennis, and other sports. In particular, it is more effective when used in high-temperature environments.
