Abstract

A shirt is disclosed as including a first material at least three openings constructed for a neck and two arms of a wearer, and at least two gussets of a second material. Each gusset is located adjacent to a respective one of two of the at least three openings. The at least two gussets are for absorbing at least a portion of movement of the first material. Additionally, this disclosure is also to a pair of gussets for use with a movable material. The pair of gussets includes a first material forming individual gussets of the pair of gussets having different grain than the movable material. Attachment regions in the individual gussets are for the movable material to include the individual gussets adjacent to at least two openings constructed for a wearer of the movable material.

Claims (36)

1 . A shirt comprising:

a first material at least three openings constructed for a neck and two arms of a wearer; and

at least two gussets of a second material comprising a different grain than the first material, each gusset located adjacent to a respective one of two of the at least three openings, the at least two gussets absorbing at least a portion of movement of the first material.

2 . The shirt of claim 1 , wherein the first material comprises multiple portions of a same fabric stitched or woven together according to pre-determined dimensions.

3 . The shirt of claim 1 , wherein the second material comprises multiple portions of a same fabric stitched or woven together according to pre-determined dimensions.

4 . The shirt of claim 1 , further comprising:

an elasticized hem at a bottom portion of the first material.

5 . The shirt of claim 1 , further comprising:

tapered dimensions to the first material, where a chest area of the first material is wider than a hip area of the first material, and the hip area is wider than a posterior area of the first material.

6 . The shirt of claim 1 , further comprising:

a set of primary buttons on the first material; and

a set of secondary buttons on the first material, a last button of the secondary buttons being adjacent to a hem of the shirt.

7 . The shirt of claim 1 , wherein the secondary buttons are snap-type buttons.

8 . The shirt of claim 1 , further comprising:

a set of primary buttons on the first material; and

a set of secondary buttons on the first material, a last button of the secondary buttons being adjacent to a hem of the shirt.

9 . The shirt of claim 1 , further comprising:

a vertical opening extending along a front of the shirt and including at least a portion of a first opening of the at least three openings;

the vertical opening having a first side and second side, each of the first side and the second side securable to each other using primary buttons and secondary buttons; and

the primary buttons offering at least one different mechanical aspect than the secondary buttons.

10 . The shirt of claim 9 , wherein the vertical opening comprises a portion of an elasticized hem.

11 . A pair of gussets for use with a movable material, comprising:

a first material forming individual gussets of the pair of gussets having a different grain than the movable material; and

attachment regions in the individual gussets for the movable material to comprise the individual gussets adjacent to at least two openings constructed for a wearer of the movable material.

12 . The pair of gussets of claim 11 , wherein second material of the pair of gussets comprises multiple portions of a same fabric stitched or woven together according to pre-determined dimensions.

13 . The pair of gussets of claim 11 , wherein individual gussets of the pair of gussets are symmetrical to each other.

a hem within the gusset forming the attachment regions, the hem being a doubled-over first material.

15 . The pair of gussets of claim 11 , further comprising:

the first material having different portions of a same fabric stitched together.

16 . The pair of gussets of claim 11 , further comprising:

the first material having different portions of different fabrics stitched together, the different fabrics of an aggregate elasticity that is more than an elasticity of the movable material.

17 . The pair of gussets of claim 11 , wherein individual ones of the gussets are shaped in a form of a diamond.

18 . The pair of gussets of claim 11 , wherein individual ones of the gussets are attachable to different areas of the movable material.

19 . The pair of gussets of claim 11 , wherein individual ones of the gussets are colored similar to a color of the movable material.

20 . The pair of gussets of claim 11 , wherein individual ones of the gussets are of material that comprises similar texture to the movable material.
