FR2995188A1 - Trousers i.e. jeans, for use by women, have denim material exhibiting elasticity characteristic, where polyurethane coating is applied to portion of interior part of denim material and is not visible to outside of trousers - Google Patents

Abstract

The trousers (300) have a denim material exhibiting an elasticity characteristic, and a polyurethane coating applied to a portion of an interior part of the denim material in a region of an upper thigh (337) and except in a buttocks area (345). The denim material in the polyurethane coating exhibits another elasticity characteristic that is lesser than the former elasticity characteristic. The polyurethane coating is not visible to an outside of the trousers. The denim material comprises cotton mixed with a fiber i.e. spandex, different from a cotton fiber. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing trousers.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to garment-size systems, and more particularly to trousers, in particular jeans, having a body-fit cut which actively shapes the body of the body. the wearer. In 1853, during the California Gold Rush, Levi Strauss, a 24-year-old German immigrant, left New York for 10 San Francisco with a small tissue stock with the intention of opening a new tissue business branch. -yorkian of his brother. Shortly after arriving in San Francisco, Mr. Strauss realized that miners and gold seekers (known as "forty-nine") needed trousers that were strong enough to last under the harsh working conditions they faced. endured. So Mr. Strauss developed the now familiar jeans he sold to the miners. The company he founded, Levi Strauss & Co, still sells jeans and is the most famous jeans brand in the world. Levi's is a trademark of Levi Strauss & Co. Although jeans, at the time of the Gold Rush, were used as work clothes (which had a relatively loose fit as fashion was not a concern), jeans have evolved to be worn daily by fashionable men and women, appearing on billboards, commercials and parades. Fashion is one of the most important consumer industries in the US and the world. Jeans and related clothing is a sizable segment of the industry. To be fashionable, people want their jeans to have a custom fit (for example "tight-cut jeans"). Well-fitting jeans today have a cut that is very different, for example, from pants worn in 1800 and the early 1900s. Before, loose-fitting or baggy trousers and balloon dresses were the norm, since they were intended to hide or conceal the shape of the body. Today, modern technology has made ready-to-wear trousers, jeans and shorts that have a much better fit and are comfortable to wear. Despite the great success that jeans have had, there is a continuing desire to even better deal with consumer demands. Consumers want ready-to-wear jeans for their own buttocks and hips without having to pay for tailor-made. Existing jeans size systems, which may have responded to market demand at the time they were developed, do not adequately meet the demand of the modern consumer and their wide variety of morphologies.

People want their jeans to have a fitted look, where the jeans conform to the shape of the body. Plus, consumers want jeans that flatter the morphology that molds and shapes the body's natural silhouette, while flattering the body's natural curves.

Therefore, there is a need for a new modeling system for jeans and similar clothing (for example, pants, shorts and skirts) that offers consumers jeans that give them a good appearance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The inventive cut system conforming to the shape of the pants body is based on the concept of actively modeling the silhouette of the body. This cutting system is based on a combination of one or more unique conceptual and technical components including: an extensible fabric coating formula that customizes elasticity in all directions (eg, cross elasticity), panels silhouette outline, aesthetic finishing techniques, and sewing and construction techniques. The cutting system offers the consumer an adjustment of the pair of jeans with a power of maintenance to improve the natural curves of the body while concealing the defects of the body. The cutting system is also applicable to pants, shorts, skirts and other garments where fit and support are desirable at the buttocks, hips and thighs. A specific implementation of the cutting system of the invention works with the Levi's Curve ID @ system. Curve ID is a registered trademark of Levi Strauss & Co. Curve ID allows women to find the perfect fit based on body type. Curve ID specifically addresses women's body shapes with its basic body shape categories: for example, light curves, drawn curves, and generous curves. Optionally, Curve ID includes a fourth custom cut that is called "Supreme Curve". This Curve ID formula for finding the perfect cut goes further than the waistline to treat the true curves of a woman's body. In order to use the Curve ID system, the consumer finds its shape with the help of a silhouette measurement tool.

The Silhouette Measurement Tool calculates a shape category based on a two-bar differential in the buttocks area. With this shape category information, the consumer can easily spot a pair of fitted jeans. The Curve ID system is described in US Patent 8,307,560, issued November 13, 2012 (US Patent Application Serial No. 12 / 917,887, filed November 2, 2010), assigned to Levi Strauss & Co. The Invention System is not limited to one manufacturer or brand of jeans and it is also not necessary for the system to be used for or with another cutting system (eg Curve ID). The system can be used to create a single garment or clothing collection. In addition, specific system elements, methods, and techniques may be used alone or in combination, and may be applied to other apparel, or clothing collections made by other manufacturers.

A specific implementation of the cutting system of the invention is the Levi's Revel (TM) system. Revel is a brand of Levi Strauss & Co. After determining the category of morphology and a particular size in this category 5 using the Curve ID system, a consumer tries a pair of jeans. Through the Revel system, jeans are specifically developed and designed for the morphology of the consumer. The jeans provide support (eg, holding power) for the regions of the woman's 10 buttocks, hips and thighs by incorporating unique silhouette contour panels that are made by a unique screen printing process on the surface inside of the jeans. The unique organization and placement of the panels inside the jeans can remove and maintain the belly, buttocks and the inside and outside of the thighs while raising the buttocks. In addition, the jeans finish is specifically designed for the morphology of women. Specific design techniques such as shading, abrasion patterning, mustache positioning and sewing and stitching detail can create an illusion of longer, thinner thighs of buttocks. raised, and flatter the curves at the hips and buttocks. Although Revel specifically addresses cutting for women, aspects of the system can be applied to other categories of consumers, including men, children, adolescents, boys and girls. In one embodiment, a system comprises the steps of: mixing a solution for a coating mixture; provide a model of a silhouette contour board; create a silkscreen incorporating the pattern; print the model on the fabric; treat the fabric with the printed model; cut the fabric according to a pattern of clothing; form a garment from the garment pattern; and applying an aesthetic finish, sewing and construction details to the garment.

In one embodiment, a method for producing a silhouette contour panel includes the steps of: creating a screenprint having a silhouette outline panel pattern; screen printing the model on a substrate comprising placing the frame on the substrate; apply a coating mixture to the weft; apply pressure to the weft and remove the weft; and dry (or cook) the fabric. The method can be performed manually, automated or semi-automated.

In one embodiment, a method of applying the aesthetic finish to the pants comprises the steps of: adding light areas to a narrow portion of the front of the thigh; add a light shade on the inside and outside of the thigh; add whiskers on the front of the pants; and add a piece of abrasion to the back of the pants, along the buttocks. In one embodiment, a pair of jeans includes: at least one inner silhouette contour panel, the panel comprising a polyurethane coating; a darker shade along the inside of the thigh or outside of the thigh on the outside of the jeans; a clear area on a front area of the thigh; and a light area on the back of the jeans the butt of the buttocks. In one embodiment, pants comprise a denim material sewn into pants, wherein the denim material has a first elasticity characteristic; and a polyurethane coating applied to a portion of an interior of the denim material in the region of the upper thigh of the trousers and avoiding a buttock region where the denim material with the polyurethane coating has a second characteristic of elasticity which is less elastic than the first elasticity characteristic, and the polyurethane coating is not visible from the outside of the pants. This pant includes a degraded edge with respect to the polyurethane coating comprising a degraded polyurethane coating with a plurality of open spaces, wherein the degraded edge is positioned between a portion of the polyurethane coating comprising a solid polyurethane coating with no open spaces as in the degraded edge and the buttocks area of the pants, where the polyurethane coating is omitted.

In one embodiment, a method comprises the steps of: mixing a solution for a coating mix for a silhouette outline panel; create the silhouette outline panel on the fabric; cut and form the fabric according to a pattern for a garment; and add a detail of aesthetic finish to the garment. The method includes the step of providing a degraded edge on the silhouette contour panel comprising a degraded polyurethane coating with a plurality of open spaces, wherein the degraded edge is positioned between a portion of the silhouette contour panel comprising a solid polyurethane coating with no open spaces such as in the degraded edge and the buttocks of the pants, where the polyurethane coating is omitted. In one embodiment, a body modeling panel positioned on an inner surface of a thigh portion of the pants comprises: a first edge extending along the outside of the thigh of the pants, extending approximately from a hip area and down to a mid-thigh area; a second edge extending along the inside of the thigh, where a length of the second edge is shorter than a length of the first edge; a third edge extending from the hip area down to a crotch area; and a fourth edge that wraps around a portion of the outside mid-thigh of the trousers and goes up by curving inwardly of the thigh. These pants include a first body modeling panel positioned on the inner surface of a right thigh portion of the pants; and a second body modeling panel positioned on the inner surface of a left thigh portion of the pants, and the first and second body modeling panels touch at a crotch seam of the pants.

Alternatively, the pants comprise a first body modeling panel positioned on the inner surface of a right thigh portion of the pants; and a second body modeling panel positioned on the inner surface of a left thigh portion of the trousers, wherein the third edge of the first body patterning panel touches the third edge of the second body patterning panel at the waist level. a crotch seam of the trousers from the crotch point to a first point above the crotch point and a first distance between the crotch point and a trouser belt is greater than a second distance between the first point and the belt. Alternatively, in this pant, the third edge of the body modeling panel includes a degraded edge with respect to the polyurethane coating comprising a degraded polyurethane coating with a plurality of open spaces, wherein the degraded edge is positioned between a part of the polyurethane coating comprising a solid polyurethane coating with no open spaces such as in the degraded edge and the buttocks of the pants, where the polyurethane coating is omitted.

Figures 11A-11C show specific implementations of different aesthetic finishing techniques applied to a front side of fitted jeans. Figure 11A shows an example of jeans in a first category of cut A jeans (eg, light curves). Figure 11E shows an example of jeans in a second category of cut B jeans (eg, drawn curves). Figure 11C shows an example of jeans in a third category of cut C of jeans (eg, generous curves). Figures 12A-12C show specific implementations of different aesthetic finishing techniques applied to a back side of fitted jeans. Figure 12A shows an example of jeans in a first category of cut A jeans (eg, light curves). Figure 12B shows an example of jeans in a second category of jeans cut B (for example, curves 12C represents an example of jeans jeans category C generous cut). Comic). The figure in a third example, curves (by detailed description of the invention Many people find it difficult to find fitted jeans that flatter their figure and help define their figure.Adjusted jeans can really seem to be too tight in some areas and too loose in others A problem with tight jeans is that they do not provide support to the wearer's body to maintain and flatten some areas that need increased support. designate the belly, hips, buttocks and thighs as these problematic areas.After being worn repetitively, what was once fitted jeans can substantially begin to stretch, sag and wear out in the fabric around these areas of the body, so jeans can really accentuate areas of the body that have flaws rather than sharpen the curves natural and the shape of the user. Jeans manufacturers do not take into consideration the need to provide increased support for these areas of the body.

In order to address these disadvantages, the present invention features a body-fit cutting system for garments including, for example, pants, shorts, loungewear, undergarments and sheath garments. Although the system has been addressed in relation to pants, jeans, cropped pants, and shorts, the system can also be applied to other types of slimming garments, particularly those worn, at least in part, at the level of clothing. and below the waist.

These include skirts-shorts (combination of shorts and skirts), loose clothing, evening wear (eg tuxedo pants), school uniforms, military uniforms, athletic wear, clothing (eg, cycling clothing, ski clothing, golf apparel, martial arts clothing, sportswear, swimwear, gymnastics, softball clothing, baseball, football outfits, hockey outfits, lacrosse outfits, summer and winter Olympic team clothing, gymnastics and other clothing), dancewear, lingerie, panties, boxers, underpants, corsets, costumes (for example, Halloween or disguise costumes), restraints and many others.

Figs. 1A and 1B show views of specific areas of a wearer's body that require holding and modeling. Figure lA shows a front view of the wearer's body. Women want an attractive, feminine silhouette when wearing jeans. Women want their hips 102a and 102b to be refined and maintained. They want to hide any roundness of the hips, while accentuating the natural curves of their hips. A flat stomach is another desirable feature that women want to have in a pair of jeans. Along the thighs 104a and 104b, the women want to have a long, thin appearance so that their legs look thinner.

Figure 1B shows a back view of the wearer's body. Buttocks 106a and 106b are a region that can be problematic for many women. Women want to have their buttocks raised and bulging while wearing jeans. Thinner women who are less buxom may want a pair of jeans to accentuate their natural curves in the buttocks area. On the other hand, more buxom women with wider hips and rounder buttocks may want jeans that contain and maintain these areas while concealing roundness. In addition, a thin thigh, around the inside of the thighs 108b and 108c and the outside of the thighs 108a and 108d, is another desirable appearance. A specific implementation of the body-shaped cutting system works with Levi's Curve ID @ system. The Curve ID is a registered trademark of Levi Strauss & Co. The Curve ID is specifically made for women's morphologies with its morphology categories: for example, slight curves (a straighter silhouette, flatter buttocks), drawn curves (hips and buttocks well proportioned) and generous curves (smaller size, rounder buttocks). The light curved cut is intended for relatively straight silhouettes. The cut defines the size of a woman, while accentuating her curves. The 25 curves drawn cut is aimed at well proportioned women. This cut is designed to flatter a woman's waist while slimming down her figure. The generous curves cut is intended for round women. The generous curves cut tightens the woman's waist without yawning or pulling. Optionally, the Curve ID includes a fourth custom cut, which is called supreme curves. In order to use the Curve ID system, a woman finds her figure using a silhouette measurement tool. The silhouette measurement tool calculates a shape category based on a two-bar differential in the hip region. With this silhouette category information, the woman can easily spot a pair of fitted jeans.

A specific implementation of the cutting system conforming to the shape of the body of the invention is the Revel system of Levi's. Revel goes further than the Curve ID cutting system by offering a new jeans cutting system that actively models a woman's body. In the Revel system, jeans are specifically developed and designed for the woman's morphology. The jeans provide support (eg, the holding power) for the buttocks, hips and thighs of the woman by incorporating unique silhouette contour panels of a liner that are formed through a Unique printing process on the inner surface of the jeans. The organization and positioning of the coated panels inside the jeans can flatten and maintain the belly, buttocks and the inside and outside of the thighs while raising the buttocks. In addition, the jeans finish is specifically designed for the morphology of women. Specific design techniques such as shading, abrasion patterns, mustache positioning, sewing and stitching details can create an illusion of longer, thinner thighs, raised buttocks and thinned curves at the hips and buttocks. Jeans with the Revel system are designed for each Curve ID shape category in a variety of styles, sizes, colors, rinses, finishes and decorations. For example, styles can include tapered leg, straight leg, semi-flared cut, wide leg, flared, cut pants, boyfriend cut, low waist, high waist and many others. Colors can include blue, black, indigo, white, and many other colors. In a specific implementation, a tapered cut and a straight cut style of jeans are offered in each Curve ID shape category. For each denim style, we offer different sizes, different colors, rinses (for example, indigo, red, purple, black and others), and decorations (for example, contemporary, modern, and others). In other implementations, any combination of style, size, color, rinse, finish and decoration can be used for jeans with the Revel system.

Figure 2 shows a flow chart for making a garment of the cutting system conforming to the shape of the body. The system has components for generating a garment or clothing collection that actively shapes the shape of the person's body to accentuate natural curves while concealing flaws. The components include the steps of: mixing a solution for a liquid coating mixture for a silhouette contour panel 205, creating the silhouette contour panel on fabric 210 (for example, natural or synthetic fabric), cutting the fabric according to a pattern for a garment 215, turn the pattern into a garment 220 and add aesthetic finish details to the garment 225. The contour silhouette liner is engineered to be incorporated into different positions of a garment to target specific areas of the body. The liquid coating mixture is applied (eg screen-printed, sprayed, painted, brushed, glued or otherwise deposited) to an interior surface of a garment to form silhouette contour panels (or coated panels) . Figures 3A and 3B show a specific implementation of the silhouette contour panel incorporated in a pair of jeans. Another technique includes the digital printing of the silhouette contour board on the material. In a specific implementation, the liquid coating mixture is used as an ink for a printer, such as an ink jet printer. The printer is used to print a model using the liquid coating mix on the material. The step of creating the liner panel includes the step of applying a liquid liner of a compound to the fabric. The compound has a different elasticity factor than the tissue, and when incorporated into the tissue, changes the elasticity properties of the tissue in the areas in which it has been applied. The compound is applied to one or more areas of the fabric, and may be formed according to a predetermined pattern (to produce a panel of a specific shape and design) or applied to random areas of the fabric without the use of a pattern. In some implementations, the compound is applied to the entire surface of a piece of fabric. The fabric having the compound incorporated, can be used to create a garment. The silhouette contour panel is not visible from the outside of the finished garment. The compound is applied to an inner surface of the garment and configured to be in contact with the wearer's body in different positions. From the outside of the garment, the edge lines of the panels are not visible. As will be explained below, the panels have regular transitions and do not create unsightly visible lines in the fabric of the garment when the garment is worn by the wearer (for example, a panel device within the fabric). garment is visible through the garment).

FIG. 4 shows a specific implementation of the silhouette contour panels which are formed according to a pattern for trousers. There are four cladding panels, each of which can be applied to a different area of an inner surface of the pants. The upper left 402 and right 404 panels are applied to an inner front surface of pants (as shown in Fig. 3A). The lower 406 and 408 lower right panels are applied to a rear inside surface of the pants (as shown in Figure 3B). In a finished pair of pants, as discussed below for Fig. 5, the front panels and rear panels meet at a crotch point 420. The first edge 313 of the panel 402 and the first edge 341 of the panel 406 can be assembled to form a side seam 424 pants on the right side of the trousers, the left side or both. Referring again to FIG. 3A, an example of the silhouette contour panels is a placement of the front panels 305a, 305b on an inner surface of the jeans 300. The front panels are wrapped around a portion of the interior. from the top of the thigh 307 to the outer side of the thigh 309. The two front panels are assembled at a crotch seam 311. A first edge 313 of the panel is longer than a second opposite edge 315. . The first edge extends along the outside of a wearer's thigh, approximately from hip region 317 and down to an outer region at mid-thigh 319. A third edge 321 curves to the hip area and back down to the crotch. A fourth edge 323 wraps around the outside of the thigh of the user and goes up by curving towards the inside of thigh 325. The shape and dimensions of the front panel can be modified or changed if necessary , for a particular application or depending on the particular garment or situation. In the embodiment shown in Figures 3A, the front panel is designed to thin and maintain the hips and the outside of the thigh, as well as part of the inside of the thigh. Figure 3B shows an example of placing the rear panels 335a, 335b on an inner surface of the jeans. The back panels wrap around a portion of the back from the top of the thigh 337 to the outer side of the thigh 309. The two back panels are assembled at the crotch seam 311. A first edge 341 of the panel is longer than a second opposite edge 342. The first edge extends along the outside of a user's thigh, approximately from the hip region 317, down to the outer region at mid-thigh 319. A third edge 343 curves around the buttocks 345 (or buttocks area) from the hip area and down to the crotch region. A fourth edge 344 wraps around a portion of the outside mid-thigh of the user and goes up by curving towards the inside of thigh 325. The shape and dimensions of the rear panel can be modified or changed, if necessary, for a particular application or depending on the particular garment or situation. In this implementation, the back panel is designed to thin and hold the hip and the outside of the thigh, as well as part of the inside of the thigh. In addition, the third edge is designed to lift the user's buttocks as it curves around and rounds the natural buttocks. The third edge of the right side of the jeans, the third edge of the left side of the jeans 10 meet along the crotch seam. These two edges may form a heart shape, as shown in Figure 3E, or any other shape (for example, a U shape). In one specific embodiment, a body modeling panel positioned on an inner surface of a thigh portion 307 and 337 of the pants comprises a first edge 313 and 341 extending along a thigh extender 309. pants, approximately from a hip region 317 and down to a mid-thigh region 319, a second edge 315 and 342 extending along a thigh interior 325, wherein a length of the second leg is shorter than a length of the first edge, a third edge 321 and 343 extending from the hip region and descending to a crotch region 311; and a fourth edge 323 and 344 which wraps around a portion of the outside mid-thigh 337 of the pants, and rises by curving inwardly of the thigh. Figure 5 shows a specific implementation of liner silhouette contour panels where the panels 402 and 406 are assembled to form the pants. The first edge 313 of the front panel 402 and the first edge 341 of the back panel 406 can be assembled to form the side seam 424 of the pants on the right side of the pants, the left side or both. In the finished pair of pants, the front panels and back panels meet at a crotch point 420. The trousers need not have all four panels incorporated or assembled in this manner in a only clothing. In other implementations, the pants may have any combination of front and back panels incorporated into the finished garment. For example, a pair of jeans may have a single panel (front or back), two front panels, two back panels or only a front panel and a rear panel. The panel or panels can be placed in any position inside the pants, depending on the particular application or depending on the particular garment or situation. For a clothing collection where there are different sizes for a type of garment (for example, increasing sizes of jeans from size 0 to size 24, or size 15 to size 23 to waist circumference 34, or sizes increasing size of XS to size XL), the size of the panels can increase with the size of the garment. This increase in size may be proportional to the increase in size of the garment, but may also not be proportional. A panel of a specific size and shape can be used for a specific size garment or for more than one garment size. For example, the panel of the same size and shape can be used both for a pair of size 2 and size 4 jeans, while a large size and shape panel is used for size 6 jeans and a Even larger panel is used for both size 8 and size 10 jeans. In other implementations, the size and shape of the panel need not be changed and can be used in every garment of the entire clothing collection. In a specific implementation, where the Levi's Revel system is used as an extension to the Curve ID system, there are different size panels for different sizes of jeans in each silhouette category (for example, light curves). curves, curves, generous curves and supreme curves). For example, there may be a set of patterns (i.e., patterns) of increasing size that is used to form the panels on jeans of increasing size in a category of curved shapes (e.g. 24 drawn, 25 drawn, 26 drawn, and so on). In a specific implementation, a set comprises from 8 to 12 models of increasing size for each category. One model can be used for two consecutive sizes. For example, the smaller model is a set that can be used to create waist 23 jeans and size 24 jeans. In other implementations, each denim size may have a different size panel, or for at least two sizes of jeans, you can use the same size panel. The panel comprises a coating (eg, film or layer) of a compound (e.g., a liquid compound having specific elastic properties when dry or cooked) which is applied to the fabric of the garment. In a specific implementation, the coating compound may have the properties or consistency of a liquid. The coating, after it has been dried on the fabric, will have a different elasticity factor than that of the fabric. The coating modifies the elasticity properties of the fabric in the areas to which it has been applied. Thus, the tissue-coated regions stretch differently from the uncoated fabric. In implementations, after being applied to the fabric, the coating limits the natural elasticity of the fabric. The coated fabric has a lower elasticity factor than the uncoated fabric (i.e. the elasticity is more limited, less elastic). These areas of the liner with less elasticity (lower elasticity) may provide support and modeling for the wearer in the areas where the cladding panels are positioned (e.g., below the buttocks, inside and outside the thighs). This coating may be referred to as a liquid modeling technology (or liquid stretching technology) and may regulate the level of elasticity in the predetermined areas of the garment. For this reason, the panels can be positioned in targeted areas on the garment to shape the wearer's body. For example, silhouette contour panels in a pair of jeans can actively shape a person's lower body to create the appearance that the person has longer, thinner legs, raised buttocks and a flat stomach. In other embodiments, the coated board may have about the same elasticity as the fabric or have a higher elasticity factor.

In a specific embodiment, a pair of trousers comprises a denim material sewn into pants, wherein the denim material has a first elasticity characteristic, and a polyurethane coating, applied to a portion of an interior of the denim material in a region of the inner thigh (see reference numerals 307 and 337 in Fig. 3B) of the pants and avoiding a buttock region (see reference numerals 345, 350 and 343 in Fig. 3B ). The denim material with the polyurethane coating has a second elasticity characteristic which is less elastic than the first elasticity characteristic. The polyurethane coating is not visible from outside of the pants. In one embodiment, the built-in cladding panel customizes a bi-stretchable effect of the fabric, wherein the coated fabric can stretch in all directions in a personalized or technical manner. This allows the panels to mold and shape the natural curves of the wearer's body. In other implementations, depending on the compound used and the placement of the panel on the garment, the panel may stretch along a certain direction but not in other directions. The embedded panel has a smooth feel. The coating is lightweight and provides the wearer with lasting comfort. In addition, the panels can stretch and regain the shape of the user's body when the user moves, so that the pants are not felt to be restrictive against the body.

In implementations, a compound for coating is a mixture of different compounds. In other embodiments, the compound is a single compound. In some embodiments, the blend comprises a polyurethane (PU) compound that is applied (e.g., pulverized, printed, brushed, painted, or otherwise deposited) onto the fabric. Polyurethane compounds are soft and lightweight but durable when applied to the fabric. In other implementations, other types of PU and synthetic compounds may be used in the coating mixture. For example, these may include plastisol, polyethylene, water-based coatings, polypropylene, thermoplastics and many others. The polyurethane compound can be used in a coating or finish for textile fabrics. Polyurethane is resistant to wear and cracks, and can be folded and moved with the fabric once it has been applied. When applied to the fabric, the polyurethane compound can limit the elasticity of the fabric. In implementations, the fabric is a woven or knitted fabric (e.g., denim, serge or corduroy) made from a blended cotton fabric (e.g., cotton blended with Lycra, polyester, acrylic, nylon, acetate, viscose and triacetate). In other embodiments, the fabric may be any of a natural fiber textile (eg, wool or silk), a synthetic fabric, or a combination thereof. The polyurethane compound may be mixed with other compounds to form the coating mixture. Other compounds include resins, emulsifiers, thickeners and many others. The blend may further comprise colored dyes so that the finished panels have a different color from the fabric to which it is applied. In a specific embodiment, the blend comprises a combination of polyurethane, a crosslinking agent, an emulsifier, a blue dye, a black dye and a thickener. The crosslinking agent may be a resin that serves as a crosslinking agent for other compounds such as paints, inks, adhesives and coatings. It can crosslink dispersions and emulsions at ambient and elevated temperatures. An emulsifier can be used for printing processes. Dyes can be used for textile printing. In a specific implementation, the dye is a shade of navy blue. In other implementations, another textile printing dye having a bluish black color is used. The thickener may be a synthetic thickener for liquids and coating pastes. In other embodiments, other compounds may be replaced by or replace any of the one or more compounds described above. In one embodiment, the mixture is a specific formula of a quantity of each compound. In a specific embodiment, the blend comprises 30-70 percent polyurethane (eg, polyurethane resin), 1-5 percent crosslinking agent, 10-20 grams per liter (or equivalent percent), and emulsifier, 1 - 2 grams per liter (or equivalent percentage) of a blue dye, 0.5 - 1.5 grams per liter (or equivalent percentage) of a black ink, and 10 - 20 grams (or equivalent percentage) ) a thickener. The range of specific percentages presented may be in percent by volume or percent by weight, depending on the particular application or on the data or situation. For example, the blend may comprise 10-40 percent or 10-70 percent of a polyurethane resin, 0.5-5 percent crosslinking agent, 0.5-3 percent emulsifier, 0.05 - 0.3 percent of a dye and 1 - 5 percent of a thickener. It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific percentages presented. A formula of the invention may have additional compounds (not necessarily described in this application), different compounds that replace certain compounds presented, fewer compounds presented or any combination thereof. In addition, the compounds in other embodiments of the invention may not be exactly the same as the compounds presented and may be modified or changed, if necessary, for a particular application or depending on the data or the situation. For example, in other implementations, other polyurethane compounds and other resins, emulsifiers, thickeners, dyes and the like may be used in any combination for coating. Referring again to Figure 2, the silhouette outline panel is created. This step can be processed before, during, or after the mixing solution for the coating has been mixed.

Figure 6 shows a flowchart of a specific implementation for creating the panel. The flowchart indicates the components of: creating a screen (for example using a mesh screen) with a model of a silhouette contour panel in preparation for printing 605, placing the frame on a substrate (eg , fabric) and apply the coating mixture to the weft 610, apply pressure to the weft to compress the coating on the fabric and remove the weft 615, and allow the printed pattern of the panel to dry (or bake) on the fabric. fabric 620.

In a specific implementation, a method comprises the steps of mixing a solution for a coating mix for a silhouette contour panel, creating the silhouette contour panel on fabric, cutting and forming the fabric according to a pattern for a garment; and add a detail of aesthetic finish to the garment. Figure 7 shows a specific implementation of three frames with different models for making the panels. The panel can be made by means of a screen printing process (for example, silk screen printing), in which a frame 701 is created with a template 705 of the panel. The weft can be prepared using a 707 mesh that is stretched on a 709 frame. Other types of porous materials (eg, any woven fabric, nylon, polyester, steel and many others) can be used in the process. A pattern stencil can be formed by applying an emulsion to the weft, and hiding portions of the weft in the negative image of the pattern (for example, using a stencil, cutout, or transfer paper). The weft may undergo a pre-press process in which the shape of the pattern is burned in the weft (for example, by exposure to light). Many other pre-printing methods used in screen printing can be incorporated before printing. The weft is then placed on the fabric and the coating mixture (of previously blended compounds) is applied (sprayed, painted, brushed, spilled or otherwise deposited) onto the weft. In screen printing, special inks are used which are known in the industry as either inks or pastes. These special inks have a pigment to give a desired color, and are also formulated to give good work consistency for the process. Depending on factors such as the temperature and the mesh material or the texture used, the viscosity of the screen printing inks used may vary from more viscous (eg, like butter) to less viscous (eg, like syrup) . The viscosity of the ink can be adjusted if necessary, using a plasticizer or additive. For the screen printing process, the coating mixture is formulated to have similar or similar properties to the inks or pastes used for screen printing. In other implementations, the liquid coating may be formulated to have properties suitable for other processes. For example, for printers such as inkjet printers, the liquid coating may have similar or similar properties to the inks used for such printers. A bar (e.g., filler bar or dipping bar) is pulled over the weft and is used to push the liner mixture into the openings of the mesh. The bar starts at one end of the frame and is moved to an opposite end with a slight downward force. During this, the real weft is slightly raised from the garment to avoid contact. A blade (for example, a rubber squeegee) is then used to lower the mesh to the printing surface of the fabric. The ink that is in the mesh opening is pumped or compressed by capillary action to the fabric in a controlled and predetermined amount (i.e., the amount of coating mixture deposited is proportional to the thickness mesh and stencil). Since the squeegee moves towards the rear of the weft, the tension of the mesh causes the mesh to move upward away from the fabric, leaving the coating mixture on the surface of the fabric. The screen printing can be completed by a manual, automatic or semi-automatic process. There are semi-automatic and automatic screen printing machines that are distributed commercially. In a specific implementation, an automated method for printing a fabric panel includes the steps of using a mesh size having an opening size of about 43-60 microns, applying the coating mixture to the weft, making knock the weft 2 - 4 times through a bar of the printing machine, at a pressure of 2 - 4 bars of air pressure. The method further comprises the step of cooking (or drying) the fabric having the printed board. In specific implementations, cooking is completed through an automated process of about 100 degrees Celsius to about 175 degrees Celsius, from about 1 minute to about 10 minutes. This description of the screen printing process has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form described and many modifications and variations are possible. The implementations have been chosen and described in order to better explain the principles of the invention and its practical applications. In a specific implementation, the printed panel of the coating has a degraded edge. Figure 8 shows a panel with a degraded edge 805 printed on the inner surface 801 of a pair of jeans. The gradient edge provides a smooth, seamless transition between the printed panel and the underlying fabric (for example, the edge of the panel where the panel passes to the denim). For this reason, there are no visible seams (neither lines, hems, or edges) through the outer fabric when the pants are worn by the wearer. See US Patent Application Nos. 29,431,723 and 29,431,724. FIGS. 9A-9B show an implementation of printed trousers panels having a degraded edge 805. FIG. 9A shows a front panel and FIG. a back panel. Fig. 10 shows an enlarged view of a portion of the gradient edge 805. The figure is a digital interpretation of the true gradient pattern and does not precisely show the characteristics of the gradient itself. In one embodiment, the panel is a solid fill 1010 of the coating mixture, while the edges comprise open spaces 1015 of the underlying tissue 1020 (shown as white regions in Fig. 8) where the blend of coating does not adhere and the fabric is visible. In a specific implementation, a width (w) of the degraded edge is about 1/2 inch to about 1 inch (about 1.27 cm to about 2.54 cm). In other implementations, the size of the degraded edge may be smaller or larger, and the solid fill area may also be degraded at different intensities. As described above, it is not necessary that the coated panel be made in a pattern. The shape of the panel may be indefinite and arbitrary (e.g. straight, curved, degraded, stipulated or patterned). In addition, in some implementations, the edge may not be visible on the interior surface of the fabric because it is concealed by a seam, other material or fabric, a pocket, a zipper, a button or the like. In a specific implementation, the fabric is denim.

Denim includes cotton and Spandex (or Lycra (R).) Spandex is a synthetic fiber, made from a polyurethane-polyresin copolymer, which gives a better elasticity to the cotton material, especially with respect to denim 100 per cent cotton Spandex is also known as elasthane Spandex is a specific brand is Lycra (R) Lycra fiber is an Invista brand, again with reference to Figure 2 With the printed coating board is cut or otherwise formed according to a pattern for the manufacture of a garment In a specific implementation, in which the Levi's Revel system is used as an extension to Curve ID system, in order to facilitate the manufacture of trousers with a fitted cut, fabric patterns are created according to the determined cut categories (for example, light curves, drawn curves, generous curves, etc.). supreme curves) Fabric models are models used to cut material for trousers. After the pieces have been cut according to the model, the pieces are sewn together. In addition, rivets can be used to hold certain pieces (eg, pocket openings) together, increasing durability and strength. See U.S. Patent No. 139,121 issued May 20, 1873 to Levi Strauss & Co. In a specific implementation, the fabric patterns are generated by an engineer (who may be referred to as a "model engineer") with A computer-aided design (CAD) tool The engineer uses the tool to create individual model components, these model components are two-dimensional models. "For example, Assyst GmbH, Autometrix, OptiTex, Bluewater Software, Gerber Scientific, Inc., and Quest CAD / CAM are manufacturers of CAD software for apparel, and with a CAD tool for garment, 2D fabric models are developed, and the tool can also include a 3D visualization component. which can be used to represent the design from a three-dimensional perspective.To ensure that the cut is good, the trousers can be manufactured according to computer generated models. sounds real can try the pants. Depending on the results, the engineer may make other changes to the computer models. This process can be repeated if necessary, to ensure a good cut and a correct appearance. Separate models can be created for each pair of jeans with a particular size and shape category. For example, there is a first model for jeans size 27 in the light curves category. There is a second model for jeans size 27 in the category curves drawn. There is a third model for jeans size 27 in the generous curves category. The sizes can range from 23 to 34 in waist size, with different crotch sizes. Jeans with the same waist are made with different crotch measures to go to people with shorter or longer legs. The jeans are also made with different leg shapes or different leg cuts like slim, straight, narrow, semi-flared, flared, wide, pants, boyfriend and others. They offer different styles of jeans for different preferences. These can use different models. Since crotch sizes and bottoms do not necessarily affect the cut in the buttocks region (sometimes referred to as the upper block), some of the parts or model parts or model pieces may be similar or identical for jeans with a different crotch or different funds. The upper block is a cut of jeans from the belt through the hips and buttocks. Therefore, the upper block can remain the same or nearly the same for some jeans, while the crotch and leg shapes or leg sections differ.

The models for the parts are designed to facilitate the adjusted cut. Thus, for one size (for example, size 27) of the jeans in three different cuts, the models differ to obtain the desired fit. A model piece for jeans is the belt. In a specific implementation, a difference between sizes for a cut (for example, light curves) and a more generous cut (for example, generous curves) lies in the fact that the two-dimensional (2D) size model is more arcuate or more curved.

Referring again to Figure 2, aesthetic finishing techniques are applied to the exterior of the jeans to further flatter the wearer's figure. Sewing and construction techniques can also be applied to create the appearance of a well-made silhouette. Aesthetic finishing techniques may include strategically placing whiskers (eg, straight or angled) on the front of the jeans, and adding light areas to the center of the front of the leg and darker areas to the inside and outside of the thigh to visually thin the hips and lengthen the thighs. In addition, a knee positioning is raised to lengthen the leg, adding herringbone-facing downwards to the inside and outside of the thigh to create a visual thinning and adding light areas under the buttocks and Gradients to create an appearance of raised buttocks. Other aesthetic finishing techniques may also be included. The aesthetic finishing techniques can be applied differently for different silhouettes. When there are several categories of cut, a woman with a less round silhouette may want to highlight its natural curves while a woman with a rounder silhouette may want to hide or not show these curves on his body . In a specific implementation in which the Revel system is used as an extension to the Curve ID system, the aesthetic finishing techniques include the addition of mustaches, the introduction of abrasion pattern, and the addition of darker areas. Figures 11A-11C show specific implementations of different aesthetic finishing techniques that can be applied to a front side of fitted jeans to create a patterned silhouette. Figure 11A shows an example of jeans with a first category of cut A jeans (for example, light curves). Fig. 11B shows an example of jeans in a second category of cut B (for example, drawn curves). Figure 11C shows an example of jeans in a third category of cut C of jeans (eg, generous curves). For the light curvature category 1110, angular whiskers 1115 are added at such an intensity that they accentuate the curve of the hip. For the curved category 1120, the angle and the intensity of the whiskers 1125 flatter the hip curve, whereas for the category generous curves 1130, the angle and the intensity of the whiskers 1135 conceal the widest part of the curves. hips. Horizontal whiskers can be suppressed 1132 from the generous curves category, since horizontal lines can draw attention to the widest part of the hips. Subtle 1134 wear features on the front side of the jeans can conceal the front region of the hip. A darker shade 1137 (eg, darker areas) can be added to the inside and outside of the jean thighs in all trim categories to thin and visually lengthen the thighs. Abrasion patterns 1141 (eg, light areas) can be added to the narrow front of the thigh to create a thin, elongated thigh. The abrasion pattern can be shortened for any silhouette category, any silhouette category, or any combination of silhouette categories. The abbreviated 1143 abrasion pattern can be added to visually lengthen the front of the leg. In addition, aesthetic finishing techniques are applied to the back of the jeans. Figures 12A-120 show specific implementations of different aesthetic finishing techniques that can be applied to the back side of fitted jeans to create a patterned silhouette. Figure 12A shows an example of jeans in a first category of jeans cut A 1110 (for example, light curves). Figure 12B shows an example of jeans in a second category of cut B jeans 1120 (eg, drawn curves). Figure 120 shows an example of jeans in a third cut category C of jeans 1130 (eg, generous curves). 1141 abrasion models can be added to jeans of all cut categories along the rounded buttocks to improve buttocks. The size and positioning of the abrasion pattern can vary with each shape category to fit different silhouettes. Darker areas can be added to hide more generous curves. The darker areas 1137 (or darker shade) can be added to the periphery of the abrasion pattern to create a degraded, fleeing effect to hide important curves. For example, more darker areas can be added in rounder shape categories (for example, generous curves and supreme curves) to further hide the wider parts of the buttocks. Sewing and construction techniques are shown in Figures 1A and 1B. These techniques may include: the front seam 110 inside the pockets of the pockets 112 (for example, hollow before curved pockets) to draw the eye on the waist and away from the widest part of the hips, l omitting a coin pocket for less space and providing a more regular silhouette; the curved rising seam 114 which physically lifts the buttocks and visually creates well-made or concealed buttocks; the placement and size of the back pockets 116 give shape or minimize appearance; a raised post panel 118 that physically thins the sides of the body; clamps on the back of the jeans to remove drag lines and visually lift the buttocks; the construction of the internal pocket to control and flatten the belly; and side seams placed slightly forward (see reference numeral 360 in Figure 3A) to draw the eye inward to create a narrower silhouette. Other sewing and construction techniques may also be included.

Sewing and construction techniques can be applied differently for different body shapes. When there are several categories of cut, a woman with a less round shape may want to highlight her natural curves while a woman with a rounder shape may want to hide or hide these same curves on her body. In a specific implementation in which the Revel system is used as an extension to the Curve ID system, any combination of the techniques described above can be used to create a patterned appearance. The combination of techniques can be applied to a single silhouette category, to all silhouette categories or to any combination of categories. For example, a pair of size 30 jeans with a less round shape (eg, light curved category) may have a different size and back pocket placement than those for a size 30 jean with a rounder shape (e.g. , generous curved categories or supreme curves). This description of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form described, and many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. Embodiments have been chosen and described to better explain the principles of the invention and its practical applications. This description enables those skilled in the art to better utilize and practice the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as appropriate for a particular use.
