Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fabric and a garment using the fabric. [Background technology]

[0002] Among clothing, for example, there is known a double-knitted sweat-absorbing, quick-drying circular knit fabric (fabric) that uses polyester hollow yarns for the surface layer and polypropylene yarns for the back layer. The polyester hollow yarns are absorbent (hydrophilic), while the polypropylene yarns are hydrophobic. Therefore, by using a sweat-absorbing, quick-drying circular knit fabric, sweat-absorbent and quick-drying properties can be improved, providing clothing that is less likely to become stuffy (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Other known garments include those that use fabrics with an intermediate layer between a surface layer of polyester yarn and a back layer of polypropylene yarn. The use of such fabrics improves sweat absorption and drying properties, providing garments that are less likely to become stuffy (see, for example, Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-68602 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3214392 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Here, it is preferable that clothing not only does not get stuffy but also feels good against the skin. Also, for example, it is preferable that winter clothing has excellent heat retention. However, the clothing in Patent Documents 1 and 2 does not describe the feel or heat retention, and there is a demand for commercialization of clothing that has the functions of not only not getting stuffy but also has excellent feel and heat retention.

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a fabric that is not prone to becoming stuffy, has excellent heat retention, and is soft to the touch, and to provide clothing made from this fabric. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means. (1) The fabric of the present invention comprises a surface layer made of polyester hollow yarn, an intermediate layer made of polyester yarn, and a back layer made of polypropylene yarn with a raised back surface, the intermediate layer being disposed between the surface layer and the back layer, the three layers being laminated by circular knitting, the number of filaments in the hollow yarn being set to be greater than that of the polypropylene yarn, and the number of filaments in the hollow yarn and the polypropylene yarn being set to be greater than that of the polyester yarn.

[0008] According to this configuration, the fabric is formed into three layers: a surface layer, an intermediate layer, and a back layer. The surface layer is made of polyester hollow fibers, and the intermediate layer is made of polyester yarns. The back layer is made of polypropylene yarns. The polyester hollow fibers are absorbent (hydrophilic), and the polypropylene yarns are hydrophobic. This allows the fabric, formed into three layers by the surface layer, intermediate layer, and back layer, to have enhanced sweat absorption and drying properties. Furthermore, the number of hollow fiber filaments is set to be greater than that of polypropylene fibers, which allows the density of the fibers themselves in the surface layer to be set higher than that of the fibers themselves in the back layer, thereby preventing sweat from the surface layer from returning to the back layer.

[0009] This allows sweat absorbed from the back layer to be quickly absorbed by the front layer via the intermediate layer and evaporated from the front layer. This prevents sweat from accumulating in the back layer, resulting in a fabric that is less likely to become stuffy. Making the fabric less likely to become stuffy helps maintain a dry feel and prevents chills caused by sweat.

[0010] In addition, the surface layer is made of polyester hollow fibers, and the back surface of the back layer is brushed. This allows heat generated by the body to be stored inside the hollow fibers and between the multiple brushed fibers. This allows heat generated by the body to be stored in the surface and back layers, resulting in a fabric with excellent heat retention.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of filaments in the hollow fibers in the surface layer and the polypropylene fibers in the back layer is greater than that in the polyester fibers in the middle layer, resulting in a fabric that feels good to the touch. In other words, this fabric has three functions: it is not prone to becoming stuffy, has excellent heat retention, and is pleasant to the touch.

[0012] (2) The hollow fiber may have a thickness of 65 to 85 denier and a number of filaments of 90 to 110, and the polypropylene yarn may have a thickness of 65 to 85 denier and a number of filaments of 60 to 80.

[0013] According to this configuration, the thickness of the hollow yarn is set to 65 to 85 denier, and the number of filaments is set to 90 to 110. In addition, the thickness of the polypropylene yarn is set to 65 to 85 denier, and the number of filaments is set to 60 to 80. Therefore, the number of hollow fiber filaments can be set to be higher than that of polypropylene fiber, and the density of the fibers themselves in the surface layer can be set to be higher than that of the fibers themselves in the back layer. This prevents sweat from the surface layer from returning to the back layer, and allows sweat absorbed from the back layer to be quickly absorbed into the surface layer via the intermediate layer and evaporated from the surface layer.

[0014] In addition, the number of filaments in the hollow yarn was set to a large number of 90 to 110, and the number of filaments in the polypropylene yarn was set to a large number of 60 to 80. This allows for the production of a fabric that feels good to the touch. Furthermore, the thickness of the hollow yarn is set to a large value of 65 to 85 denier, and the thickness of the polypropylene yarn is set to a large value of 65 to 85 denier. This, for example, can increase the durability of the fabric. As a result, for example, even when clothing sewn using the fabric is worn under work clothes, the fabric can be prevented from tearing during work.

[0015] (3) The hollow yarn may have a thickness of 75 denier and a filament count of 100, the polyester yarn may have a thickness of 30 denier and a filament count of 24, and the polypropylene yarn may have a thickness of 75 denier and a filament count of 72.

[0016] According to this configuration, the hollow yarn was set to 75 denier and the number of filaments was set to 100. In addition, the polypropylene yarn was set to 75 denier and the number of filaments was set to 72. Therefore, the number of hollow fiber filaments can be set to be higher than that of polypropylene fiber, and the density of the fibers themselves in the surface layer can be set to be higher than that of the fibers themselves in the back layer. This prevents sweat from the surface layer from returning to the back layer, and allows sweat absorbed from the back layer to be quickly absorbed into the surface layer via the intermediate layer and evaporated from the surface layer.

[0017] In addition, the number of filaments in the hollow yarn was set to 100, and the number of filaments in the polypropylene yarn was set to 72. This allows for the production of a fabric that feels good to the touch. Furthermore, the hollow yarn is set to a thick 75 denier, and the polypropylene yarn is also set to a thick 75 denier, which prevents the fabric from tearing during work, even when worn underneath work clothes, for example.

[0018] In addition, the thickness of the polyester yarn forming the middle layer was set to 30 denier, and the number of filaments was set to 24. By setting the polyester yarn of the middle layer to be thin and the number of filaments to be low in this way, for example, it is possible to form a soft middle layer. This reduces the stiffness of the fabric, improving the feel when touching the front and back layers of the fabric, and making it more comfortable against the skin.

[0019] Furthermore, by using a thinner polyester thread in the middle layer and reducing the number of filaments, it is possible to improve the penetration of sweat, for example, which allows sweat from the back layer to penetrate well through the middle layer to the surface layer.

[0020] (4) The three-layered fabric may have a basis weight of 100 to 150 g.

[0021] With this configuration, the basis weight of the three-layered fabric is set to 100 to 150 g, which means that the hollow yarn can be set to 75 denier and 100 filaments, and the polypropylene yarn can be set to 75 denier and 72 filaments. This allows the number of hollow fiber filaments to be set higher than that of polypropylene fibers, and the density of the fibers themselves in the surface layer can be set higher than that of the fibers themselves in the back layer. This prevents sweat from the surface layer from returning to the back layer, and allows sweat absorbed from the back layer to be quickly absorbed into the surface layer via the intermediate layer and evaporated from the surface layer.

[0022] It is also possible to set the number of filaments in the hollow yarn to as large as 100 and the number of filaments in the polypropylene yarn to as large as 72. This allows for the production of fabrics that feel good to the touch. Furthermore, it is possible to set the hollow fiber to a thick 75 denier and the polypropylene yarn to a thick 75 denier, which will prevent tearing during work, even when worn under work clothes, for example.

[0023] In addition, it is possible to set the thickness of the polyester yarn forming the middle layer to 30 denier and the number of filaments to 24. In this way, by setting the polyester yarn of the middle layer to be thin and the number of filaments to be low, it is possible to form, for example, a soft middle layer. This reduces the stiffness of the fabric and improves the feel when touching the front and back layers of the fabric, making it more comfortable against the skin.

[0024] Furthermore, by using a thinner polyester thread in the middle layer and reducing the number of filaments, it is possible to improve the penetration of sweat, for example, which allows sweat from the back layer to penetrate well through the middle layer to the surface layer.

[0025] (5) The garments made of the fabric of the present invention are sewn using the fabric described in any one of (1) to (4).

[0026] According to this configuration, by sewing a garment using the fabric described in any one of (1) to (4), sweat absorbed from the back layer can be quickly absorbed into the front layer via the intermediate layer and evaporated from the front layer. Therefore, sweat can be prevented from accumulating in the back layer, and garments that are less likely to become stuffy can be obtained. By making the garment less likely to become stuffy, a dry feeling can be maintained and chills caused by sweat can be prevented.

[0027] In addition, the surface layer is made of polyester hollow fibers, and the back surface of the back layer is made of raised fibers. This allows heat generated by the body to be stored inside the hollow fibers and between the multiple raised fibers. This allows heat generated by the body to be stored in the surface and back layers, resulting in clothing with excellent heat retention.

[0028] Furthermore, the number of filaments in the hollow yarns in the surface layer and the polypropylene yarns in the back layer is greater than that in the polyester yarns in the middle layer, which allows for the production of clothing that feels good against the skin (hand feel). In addition, for example, by setting the hollow fibers in the surface layer to be thick and the polypropylene fibers in the back layer to be thick, the clothing can be prevented from tearing during work even when worn under work clothes. In other words, this clothing has three functions: it is not stuffy, has excellent heat retention, and is soft to the touch.

[0029] Furthermore, for example, by setting the polyester thread of the intermediate layer 13 to be thin and the number of filaments to be small, the intermediate layer 13 can be formed to be soft. This reduces stiffness of the garment, improving the feel and texture of the front layer 11 and back layer 12 of the garment.

[0030] Furthermore, by setting the polyester thread of the intermediate layer 13 to be thin and the number of filaments to be small, it is possible to make it easier for sweat to penetrate, for example. This allows sweat from the back layer 12 to penetrate well through the intermediate layer 13 to the front layer 11. [Effects of the Invention]

[0031] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a fabric that is not prone to becoming stuffy, has excellent heat retention, and is soft to the touch, and clothing made from this fabric. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0032] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view conceptually showing a fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing hollow fibers constituting a surface layer of a fabric according to an embodiment. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a perspective view conceptually illustrating an example in which sweat is absorbed from the back layer of a fabric according to an embodiment, passes through an intermediate layer, and evaporates from the surface layer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0033] Hereinafter, a fabric according to one embodiment of the present invention and a garment (clothing) using this fabric will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, fabric 10 includes a surface layer 11, a back layer 12, and an intermediate layer 13. Specifically, fabric 10 has intermediate layer 13 disposed between surface layer 11 and back layer 12, and both surfaces of the three-layer fabric 10 are laminated by circular knitting. In Fig. 1, to facilitate understanding of the structure of fabric 10, intermediate layer 13 is illustrated as being thicker than surface layer 11 and back layer 12, but in reality, intermediate layer 13 is thinner than surface layer 11 and back layer 12. Circular knitting refers to knitting fabric into a tubular shape by running yarn in a spiral using a circular knitting machine, for example. This fabric 10 has three functions: it is not stuffy, has excellent heat retention, and is soft to the touch.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the surface layer 11 is made of polyester hollow fibers 15. The polyester hollow fibers 15 have continuous or discontinuous cavities 16 inside the fiber, with a hollow ratio of, for example, 30%. The hollow fibers 15 have cavities 16 inside the fiber, which makes them easy to absorb moisture and have excellent absorbency (hydrophilicity). Furthermore, the hollow fibers 15 have cavities 16 inside the fiber, making them light, fluffy, and comfortable to the touch.

[0035] Furthermore, the hollow fibers 15 have high water absorption and quick-drying properties due to the presence of cavities 16. In addition, the hollow fibers 15 have excellent heat retention properties because they can store heat generated by the body inside the fibers (i.e., cavities 16). A preferred example of hollow fibers 15 is Thermolite (a registered trademark of The Lycra Company UK Limited).

[0036] The hollow yarn 15 has a thickness of 65 to 85 denier and a filament count of 90 to 110 filaments to provide three functions: resistance to stuffiness in the fabric 10, excellent heat retention, and a pleasant feel. Preferably, the hollow yarn 15 has a thickness of 75 denier and a filament count of 100 filaments.

[0037] The back layer 12 is made of polypropylene yarn, and has a raised back surface 18. The raised back surface 18 is formed, for example, by scratching the back surface of the back layer 12 with sandpaper or the like to fluff it up. Hereinafter, the raised back surface 18 will also be referred to as the "fleece lining 18." Polypropylene yarn is hydrophobic. The fleece lining 18 can store heat generated by the body between the multiple raised layers 18, providing excellent heat retention. Furthermore, the fleece lining 18 becomes soft to the touch when it is fluffed.

[0038] This polypropylene yarn has a thickness of 65 to 85 denier and a filament count of 60 to 80 filaments to provide three functions: resistance to stuffiness in the fabric 10, excellent heat retention, and pleasant feel to the touch. Preferably, the polypropylene yarn has a thickness of 75 denier and a filament count of 72 filaments.

[0039] The intermediate layer 13 is made of polyester yarn, which has absorbency (hydrophilicity) similar to the hollow yarns 15 of the surface layer 11. This polyester yarn has a thickness of 30 denier and 24 filaments to provide the fabric 10 with three functions: it is less likely to become stuffy, has excellent heat retention, and is pleasant to the touch.

[0040] In this way, the fabric 10 is formed by laminating three layers, namely, the front layer 11, the back layer 12, and the intermediate layer 13. The fabric 10 has a basis weight of 100 to 150 g, for example. Preferably, the fabric 10 has a basis weight of 140 g. The fabric 10 is made of 58.3% polyester and 41.7% polypropylene.

[0041] The reasons for setting the basis weight of the fabric 10, the material of each layer 11, 12, 13 of the fabric 10, the thickness of each material, and the number of filaments of each material to the above ranges or values ​​will now be explained.

[0042] That is, in order to provide the fabric 10 with the three functions of being less likely to get stuffy, having excellent heat retention, and being pleasant to the touch, it is preferable to set the polyester yarn of the intermediate layer 13 to be thin and the number of filaments to be small. By setting the polyester yarn of the intermediate layer 13 to be thin and the number of filaments to be small, it becomes possible to improve the feel when touching the surface layer 11 and the back layer 12, making it pleasant to the touch, and further to make it easier for sweat from the back layer 12 to penetrate into the surface layer 11. Therefore, the polyester yarn was set to a thin 30 denier and the number of filaments was set to a small 24 filaments.

[0043] In order to provide the fabric 10 with the three functions of being less stuffy, having excellent heat retention, and being pleasant to the touch, it is preferable to make the hollow fibers 15 in the surface layer 11 thicker and to have a larger number of filaments than the polyester fibers in the intermediate layer 13. Furthermore, it is also preferable to make the hollow fibers 15 in the back layer 12 thicker and to have a larger number of filaments than the polyester fibers in the intermediate layer 13. In addition, it is preferable to make the number of filaments in the hollow fibers 15 in the surface layer 11 greater than that of the polypropylene fibers in the back layer 12. This makes it preferable to make the density of the fibers themselves in the surface layer 11 higher than that of the fibers themselves in the back layer 12. From this perspective, the thickness and number of filaments of the hollow fibers 15 in the surface layer 11 and the polypropylene fibers in the back layer 12 were set.

[0044] Specifically, the polyester hollow yarns 15 constituting the surface layer 11 were set to a range of 65 to 85 denier and 90 to 110 filaments, and the polypropylene yarns of the back layer 12 were set to a range of 65 to 85 denier and 60 to 80 filaments, and the fabric 10 had a basis weight of 100 to 150 g. This fabric 10 has three functions: it is not prone to becoming stuffy, it has excellent heat retention, and it feels good against the skin.

[0045] In particular, it is preferable that the polyester hollow yarn 15 constituting the surface layer 11 is set to 75 denier and 100 filaments. Also, it is preferable that the polypropylene yarn of the back layer 12 is set to 75 denier and 72 filaments. Furthermore, it is preferable that the polyester yarn of the surface layer 11 is set to 30 denier and 24 filaments. In addition, it is preferable that the basis weight of the fabric 10 is set to 140 g. This fabric 10 was able to fully achieve the three functions of being less stuffy, having excellent heat retention, and being pleasant to the touch.

[0046] On the other hand, if the hollow fibers 15 of the surface layer 11 were outside the ranges of 65 to 85 denier and 90 to 110 filaments, and the polypropylene fibers of the back layer 12 were outside the ranges of 65 to 85 denier and 60 to 0 filaments, it was difficult to obtain the three functions.

[0047] Therefore, the polyester hollow yarns 15 constituting the surface layer 11 are set to 65 to 85 denier and 90 to 110 filaments, preferably 75 denier and 100 filaments. The polypropylene yarns of the back layer 12 are set to 65 to 85 denier and 60 to 80 filaments, preferably 75 denier and 72 filaments. The polyester yarns of the middle layer 13 are set to 30 denier and 24 filaments. The basis weight of the fabric 10 is set to 100 to 150 g, preferably 140 g.

[0048] As described above, according to the embodiment of the fabric 10, the following effects can be obtained by appropriately setting the basis weight of the fabric 10, the material of each layer 11, 12, 13 that constitutes the fabric 10, the thickness of each material, and the number of filaments of each material. In particular, the hollow yarns 15 of the surface layer 11 are set to 75 denier and 100 filaments, and the polypropylene yarns of the back layer 12 are set to 75 denier and 72 filaments. The polyester yarns of the middle layer 13 are set to 30 denier and 24 filaments. Furthermore, when the basis weight of the fabric 10 is set to 140 g, the following effects can be fully achieved.

[0049] That is, the surface layer 11 is made of polyester hollow fibers 15, and the middle layer 13 is made of polyester yarn. Furthermore, the back layer 12 is made of polypropylene yarn. The polyester hollow fibers are absorbent (hydrophilic), and the polypropylene yarns are hydrophobic. This allows the three-layer fabric consisting of the surface layer 11, middle layer 13, and back layer 12 to have enhanced sweat absorption and drying properties.

[0050] This allows sweat absorbed from the back layer 12 to be quickly absorbed into the surface layer 11 as shown by arrow A via the intermediate layer 13, and then evaporated from the surface layer 11 as shown by arrow B, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Furthermore, the number of filaments in the hollow fibers 15 is set to be greater than that of the polypropylene fibers in the back layer 12. Therefore, the density of the fibers themselves in the surface layer 11 is set to be higher than that of the fibers themselves in the back layer 12. This makes it possible to prevent sweat from the surface layer 11 from returning to the back layer 12 as indicated by arrow C.

[0051] In addition, by setting the polyester thread of the intermediate layer 13 to be thin and the number of filaments to be small, it is possible to make it easier for sweat to penetrate, for example. This allows sweat from the back layer 12 to penetrate well through the intermediate layer 13 to the front layer 11. Therefore, sweat can be prevented from accumulating on the back surface layer 12, and a fabric that is less likely to become stuffy can be obtained. By making the fabric 10 less likely to become stuffy, a dry feeling can be maintained and chills caused by sweat can be prevented.

[0052] Furthermore, the number of filaments in the hollow fibers 15 in the surface layer 11 and the polypropylene fibers in the back layer 12 is greater than that in the polyester fibers in the intermediate layer 13. This makes it possible to obtain a fabric that feels good to the touch. Furthermore, the hollow fibers in the surface layer 11 are set to be thick, and the polypropylene fibers in the back layer 12 are set to be thick. This prevents the fabric from tearing during work, for example, even when clothing sewn using the fabric is worn under work clothes.

[0053] The thickness of the polyester yarn forming the intermediate layer 13 was set to 30 denier, and the number of filaments was set to 24. By setting the polyester yarn of the intermediate layer 13 to be thin and the number of filaments to be small in this way, for example, the intermediate layer 13 can be formed to be soft. This reduces the stiffness (stiffness) of the fabric 10, improving the feel when touching the front layer 11 and back layer 12 of the fabric 10, and making it comfortable to the touch.

[0054] Furthermore, polyester hollow fibers 15 are used for the surface layer 11, and raised fibers 18 are formed on the back surface of the back layer 12. Therefore, heat generated by the body can be stored inside the hollow fibers 15 and among the multiple raised fibers 18. This allows heat generated by the body to be stored in the surface layer 11 and back layer 12, resulting in a fabric 10 with excellent heat retention. As explained above, the fabric 10 can fully achieve three functions: it is not prone to becoming stuffy, has excellent heat retention, and is pleasant to the touch.

[0055] (Variation) Modifications of the embodiment will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. In the modifications, the same reference numerals will be used to designate the same or similar components as those in the embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the fabric 10 of the modified example, for example, the polyester hollow yarns 15 constituting the surface layer 11 are set to 150 denier and 200 filaments. The polypropylene yarns of the back layer 12 are set to 150 denier and 144 filaments. Furthermore, the polyester yarns of the middle layer 13 are set to 50 denier and 68 filaments. Additionally, the basis weight of the fabric 10 is set to 160 to 300 g.

[0056] That is, in the fabric 10 of the modified example, the hollow fibers 15 forming the surface layer 11 are set to be twice as thick and have twice as many filaments as those in the embodiment. Also, the polypropylene fibers forming the back layer 12 of the modified example are set to be twice as thick and have twice as many filaments as those in the embodiment. Furthermore, the polyester yarn forming the intermediate layer 13 of the modified example is thicker and has a larger number of filaments than the embodiment, to match the hollow yarn 15 of the modified example and the polypropylene yarn of the modified example. In addition, the fabric 10 of the modified example is thicker and has a heavier basis weight, to match the hollow yarn 15 of the modified example, the polypropylene yarn of the modified example, and the polyester yarn of the modified example. As with the embodiment, the fabric 10 of the modified example also has three functions: it is less likely to become stuffy, has excellent heat retention, and is pleasant to the touch.

[0057] Clothing is sewn using the fabric 10 described above. Examples of clothing include winter T-shirts and spats. However, the clothing is not limited to winter T-shirts and spats. As shown in Figure 3, this garment allows sweat absorbed from the back layer 12 to be quickly absorbed into the surface layer 11 via the intermediate layer 13 as shown by arrow A, and then evaporated from the surface layer 11 as shown by arrow B. Furthermore, the number of filaments in the hollow fibers 15 is set to be greater than that of the polypropylene fibers in the back layer 12. Therefore, the density of the fibers themselves in the surface layer 11 is set to be higher than that of the fibers themselves in the back layer 12. This makes it possible to prevent sweat from the surface layer 11 from returning to the back layer 12 as indicated by arrow C. In addition, by setting the polyester thread of the intermediate layer 13 to be thin and the number of filaments to be small, it is possible to make it easier for sweat to penetrate, for example. This allows sweat from the back layer 12 to penetrate well through the intermediate layer 13 to the front layer 11. Therefore, sweat can be prevented from accumulating on the back surface layer 12, and clothing that is less likely to become stuffy can be obtained. By making the fabric 10 less likely to become stuffy, a dry feeling can be maintained and chills caused by sweat can be prevented.

[0058] Furthermore, the number of filaments in the hollow yarns 15 in the surface layer 11 and the polypropylene yarn in the back layer 12 is greater than that in the polyester yarn in the intermediate layer 13. This makes it possible to obtain clothing that feels good against the skin (touch). Furthermore, the hollow fibers in the surface layer 11 are set to be thick, and the polypropylene fibers in the back layer 12 are set to be thick. This makes it possible to prevent the garment from tearing during work, for example, even when worn under work clothes.

[0059] The thickness of the polyester yarn forming the intermediate layer 13 is set to, for example, 30 denier, and the number of filaments is set to 24. In this way, by setting the polyester yarn of the intermediate layer 13 to be thin and the number of filaments to be small, for example, the intermediate layer 13 can be formed to be soft. This reduces stiffness (stiffness) of the garment, improving the feel and texture when touching the front layer 11 and back layer 12 of the garment.

[0060] Furthermore, polyester hollow fibers 15 are used for the surface layer 11, and raised fibers 18 are formed on the back surface of the back layer 12. Therefore, heat generated by the body can be stored inside the hollow fibers 15 and among the multiple raised fibers 18. This allows heat generated by the body to be stored in the surface layer 11 and back layer 12, resulting in clothing with excellent heat retention. As explained above, this clothing not only prevents stuffiness, but also has excellent heat retention and is pleasant to the touch, making it possible to fully obtain three functions.

[0061] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0062] In addition, within the scope of the spirit of the present invention, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components as appropriate, and the above-described modifications may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
