Abstract
A camouflage garment having a torso portion, sleeves extending downward from a top, side of the torso portion and an optional neck portion. The torso portion, sleeves and optional neck portion are made of a camouflage material having a plurality of rectilinear shapes, adjacent ones of which have a different color. The rectilinear shapes each have at least six straight sides and an interior angle between 180.degree. and 360.degree. and may be formed only by straight sides whereby opposed straight sides are substantially parallel to one another. Camouflage enhancement features may be arranged in connection with the camouflage material for enhancing the camouflage effect of the camouflage material.
Claims20
A clothing garment adaptable for camouflage effect, comprising
- a garment material conformed to fit at least a portion of the human body, said garment material having a base color, an exposed surface of said garment material having a plurality of rectilinear shapes formed such that at least one additional rectilinear shape is also formed by the base color, each of said rectilinear shapes and said at least one additional rectilinear shape being formed by a plurality of straight sides, pairs of adjacent ones of said straight sides in each of said rectilinear shapes and said at least one additional rectilinear shape being perpendicular to one another, and
- at least one of a plurality of dyes being applied to each of said rectilinear shapes such that adjacent ones of said rectilinear shapes have a different color, the dyes providing color to said rectilinear shapes different than the base color.
A method for manufacturing a clothing garment adaptable for camouflage effect, comprising the steps of:
- applying a repeating pattern of a single square containing a plurality of rectilinear shapes to an exposed surface of a garment material having a base color such that a left side of the square adjoins a right side of another square in the same orientation, a right side of the square adjoins a left said of another square in the same orientation, a top side of the square adjoins a bottom side of another square in the same orientation and a bottom side of the square adjoins a top side of another square in the same orientation,
- forming each of said rectilinear shapes by a plurality of straight sides such that at least one additional rectilinear shape is also formed by the base color, pairs of adjacent ones of said straight sides in each of said rectilinear shapes and said at least one additional rectilinear shape being perpendicular to one another, and
- applying at least one of a plurality of dyes to each of said rectilinear shapes such that adjacent ones of said rectilinear shapes having a different color, the dyes providing color to said rectilinear shapes different than the base color.
A clothing garment adaptable for camouflage effect, comprising
- a garment material conformed to fit at least a portion of the human body, an exposed surface of said garment material having a plurality of rectilinear shapes, each of said rectilinear shapes being formed by a plurality of straight sides, pairs of adjacent ones of said straight sides in each of said rectilinear shapes being perpendicular to one another,
- one of said rectilinear shape constituting a background of the garment material and other of said rectilinear shapes being superimposed on said one of said rectilinear shapes, having a different color than said one of said rectilinear shapes and not being in contact with each other such that a portion of said one of said rectilinear shapes is interposed between each adjacent pair of rectilinear shapes, and
- at least one of a plurality of dyes being applied to each of said rectilinear shapes such that adjacent ones of said rectilinear shapes have a different color.
