- selectively compressing portions of a first surface of a textile to form at least one uncompressed portion of the textile and at least one compressed portion of the textile;
- and
- applying a thermo-reflective material to the first surface of the at least one compressed portion via a vapor deposition process.
A method comprising:
- compressing a portion of a surface of a textile to form an uncompressed portion of the textile, a compressed portion of the textile, and a sidewall defining a boundary between the uncompressed portion and the compressed portion;
- and
- applying, to form a reflective textile, a deposit of thermo-reflective material to the compressed portion using a vapor deposition process.
A method comprising:
- compressing portions of a surface of a textile to form an uncompressed portion, a compressed portion, and a sidewall defining a boundary between the uncompressed portion and the compressed portion;
- applying, via a vapor deposition process, a deposit of thermo-reflective material to the compressed portion;
- and
- constructing, with the textile, a garment, wherein the surface having the compressed portion with the deposit of thermo-reflective material comprises an inner-facing surface of the garment.
