Clothing such as shorts

Abstract

Clothing such as shorts is capable of preventing seamlines between the left and right edges of a back body and the left and right edges of a front body respectively as well as the edges of back high-thigh-size portions of high-thigh size portions from adversely affecting the appearance of an outer garment worn thereover. Seamlines between left and right edges of a front body and left and right edges of a back body are positioned on both left and right sides of the front/back of the clothing respectively so as to come to the parts on both sides of the hips of a person. The edge of a back high-thigh-size portion of a high-thigh size portion is formed in a seamless hem manner, in a free cut, or in an overcast stitch for preventing the edge from fraying out.

1 . Clothing such as shorts which includes a stretchable front body ( 11 ) formed bilaterally symmetrically with a front high-thigh-size portion ( 16   a ) constituting a high-thigh size portion ( 16 ) and a stretchable back body ( 12 ) formed bilaterally symmetrically with a back high-thigh-size portion ( 16   b ) constituting the high-thigh size portion ( 16 ) and is formed by sewing together left and right edges ( 15 ,  15 ) of the front body ( 11 ) and left and right edges ( 19 ,  19 ) of the back body ( 12 ) respectively, wherein:
 seamlines (L) between the left and right edges ( 15 ,  15 ) of the front body ( 11 ) and the left and right edges ( 19 ,  19 ) of the back body ( 12 ) respectively are positioned from both sides to the front region of the hips of a person, and the back body ( 12 ) is large enough to envelop the hips from both sides up to the back region and the gluteal groove part thereof; and   the back high-thigh-size portion ( 16   b ) of the back body ( 12 ) has an edge formed in a seamless hem manner, in a free cut, or in an overcast stitch for preventing the edge from fraying out.   
     
     
         2 . The clothing such as shorts according to  claim 1 , wherein the front high-thigh-size portion ( 16   a ) of the high-thigh size portion ( 16 ) is provided with a thigh front-part covering portion ( 24 ) made of fabric or lace and covering a front part of the thigh of the person, and the thigh front-part covering portion ( 24 ) is sewn to the front high-thigh-size portion ( 16   a ) so as to protrude frontward from the front body ( 11 ) in a three-dimensional shape. 
     
     
         3 . The clothing such as shorts according to  claim 1 , wherein a width (P) between the lower ends of the left and right edges ( 19 ,  19 ) of the back body ( 12 ) is set to be larger than a width (H) between the lower ends of the left and right edges ( 15 ,  15 ) of the front body ( 11 ). 
     
     
         4 . The clothing such as shorts according to  claim 3 , wherein if the width between the lower ends of the left and right edges ( 19 ,  19 ) of the back body ( 12 ) is P and the width between the lower ends of the left and right edges ( 15 ,  15 ) of the front body ( 11 ) is H, then a ratio P/H is set to fall within the range which is higher than one and equal to or lower than 2.5. 
     
     
         5 . The clothing such as shorts according to  claim 2 , wherein a width (P) between the lower ends of the left and right edges ( 19 ,  19 ) of the back body ( 12 ) is set to be larger than a width (H) between the lower ends of the left and right edges ( 15 ,  15 ) of the front body ( 11 ). 
     
     
         6 . The clothing such as shorts according to  claim 5 , wherein if the width between the lower ends of the left and right edges ( 19 ,  19 ) of the back body ( 12 ) is P and the width between the lower ends of the left and right edges ( 15 ,  15 ) of the front body ( 11 ) is H, then a ratio P/H is set to fall within the range which is higher than one and equal to or lower than 2.5.
