Abstract
A composite velour fabric garment includes a laminate consisting of an outer woven shell layer, an inner thermal layer of knit construction, and an intermediate layer disposed between and laminated to each of the shell layer and the thermal layer. The outer woven shell layer contains spandex in at least a weft direction for stretch and recovery in a width direction. The knit construction of the inner thermal layer provides stretch in at least a width direction, in harmony with the shell layer, and the inner thermal layer has a raised surface facing inwardly, away from the shell layer. The intermediate layer has controlled air permeability, including zero air permeability.

A fabric of plaited knit construction comprising an inner fabric layer defining a first surface and an outer fabric layer defining a second surface, the inner and outer fabric layers being distinct and separate, yet integrated with one another,
- the first surface being a raised surface comprising regions of low loop and/or no loop disposed among one or more relatively raised regions, said regions of low loop and/or no loop being spaced apart and isolated from each other by the relatively raised regions, the first surface comprising synthetic yarn fibers rendered hydrophilic and being configured to face a body surface of a wearer, and
- the second surface opposite of the first surface, the second surface formed of a material selected from the group consisting of one or more moisture absorbent materials, synthetic fibers rendered hydrophilic, and the combination thereof.
A fabric of plaited knit construction comprising an inner fabric layer defining a first surface and an outer fabric layer defining a second surface, the inner and outer fabric layers being distinct and separate, yet integrated with one another,
- the first surface being a raised surface comprising discrete pocket regions being spaced apart and isolated from each other by one or more regions of raised fibers, the first surface comprising synthetic yarn fibers rendered hydrophilic and being configured to face a body surface of a wearer, and
- the second surface opposite of the first surface, the second surface formed of a material selected from the group consisting of one or more moisture absorbent materials, synthetic fibers rendered hydrophilic, and the combination thereof.
