Abstract
A garment sleeve having a proximal shoulder end coupled to an armscye of the garment, and a distal, cuff end, terminating at a cuff, the garment sleeve including: (a) a seam running from the armscye to the cuff the seam being joined at least at the shoulder end and at the cuff end; (b) a non-separating zipper including;—(i) teeth, and (ii) at least one slider adapted to reversibly couple the teeth, at least partially, between the shoulder end and the cuff end; the non-separating zipper operationally coupled proximate to the shoulder end of the seam and proximate to the cuff end of the seam.
Claims13
A garment having a garment sleeve and a shoulder portion, the garment sleeve having a proximal and shoulder end coupled to an armscye of the shoulder portion of the garment, and a distal cuff end terminating at a cuff of the garment sleeve, the garment sleeve comprising:
- a garment seam running from the proximal shoulder end to the cuff, said garment seam includes a first sewn portion proximal to the armscye and a second sewn portion proximal to the cuff;
- and
- a non-separating zipper extends continuously from said first sewn portion to said second sewn portion proximal to the cuff;
- said non-separating zipper including:
- teeth, at least one slider adapted to reversibly couple, at least partially, said teeth between said shoulder end and said cuff end to reversibly provide a passable aperture in said garment seam of the garment sleeve for wearer's arm to pass through said aperture when said garment sleeve is worn, and a tab, coupled to said at least one slider, wherein in a closed state said tab is adapted to be hidden in recesses of fabric of the garment;
- wherein said non-separating zipper is an invisible zipper, such that when said non-separating zipper is invisible in the closed state, and the garment sleeve appears to have a single contiguous sewn seam from the armscye to the cuff;
- wherein said garment seam runs from an area of the armpit to an area of a palm side of a wrist of wearer when the garment sleeve is worn;
- or
- wherein the garment sleeve is viewed in profile said garment seam runs down a front of the garment sleeve or a back length of the garment sleeve.
A garment having a garment sleeve and a shoulder portion, the garment sleeve having a proximal, shoulder end coupled to an armscye of the shoulder portion of the garment, and a distal cuff end terminating at a cuff, the garment sleeve comprising:
- a garment seam running from the proximal shoulder end to the cuff, said garment seam including a sewn portion at said shoulder end and a sewn portion at said cuff end;
- and a non-separating fabric fastener operationally coupled to said sewn portion at shoulder end on one end thereof and to said sewn portion of said cuff end on a second end of said fabric fastener, said fabric fastener adapted to be unfastened and refastened to reversibly provide a passable aperture in said garment seam of the garment sleeve for user's arm to pass through said aperture when said garment sleeve is worn on said arm;
- wherein said non-separating fabric fastener is an invisible fabric fastener, such that said non-separating fabric fastener is invisible in a closed state, and the garment sleeve appears to have a single contiguous sewn seam from the armscye to the cuff;
- wherein said garment seam runs from an area of the armpit to an area of a palm side of a wrist when the garment sleeve is worn or wherein the garment sleeve is viewed in profiled said garment seam runs down a front of the garment sleeve or back length of the garment sleeve.
A garment having a sleeve, shoulder, a front panel and back panel and collar, the garment comprising:
- a garment seam running from the collar to a cuff of the sleeve, said garment seam comprises a first sewn portion proximal to the collar and a second sewn portion proximal to the cuff and an opening extending from said first sewn portion to said second sewn portion;
- and a fabric fastener extends continuously from said first sewn portion to said second sewn portion,
- said fabric fastener is adapted to be unfastened and refastened, thereby reversibly provide said opening with a passable aperture in said garment seam, wherein said fabric fastener is closed in by material on both ends thereof:
- and
- wherein the sleeve is viewed in profile with said fabric fastener running down a middle of the sleeve, and extending up and over the shoulder of the garment and terminating prior to reaching the collar of the garment;
- wherein said fabric fastener is an invisible fabric fastener, such that when said invisible fabric fastener is in a closed state, the garment sleeve appears to have a single contiguous sewn seam from the to the cuff.
