Upper-torso garment with tubular-jacquard knit structure

An upper-torso garment comprising:

• a first tubular-jacquard knit zone having a first modulus of elasticity;
• and
• a second tubular-jacquard knit zone having a second modulus of elasticity that is less than the first modulus of elasticity;
• the first tubular-jacquard knit zone comprising a first plurality of front-stitch courses and a first plurality of back-stitch courses constructed of a first yarn strand and a second yarn strand;
• wherein each front-stitch course of the first plurality of front-stitch courses intermittently interlocks with a back-stitch course of the first plurality of back-stitch courses to form a plurality of interlocked courses within the first tubular-jacquard knit zone;
• and
• wherein each first interlocked course includes a first intra-course knit sequence that repeats along the first interlocked course within the first tubular-jacquard knit zone;
• the first intra-course knit sequence comprising a first density of interlocking cross overs of the first yarn strand and the second yarn strand positioned over a quantity of stitches, wherein interlocking cross overs of at least some first interlocked courses are positioned at stitch locations that are offset from stitch locations of interlocking cross overs of an adjacent first interlocked course.
