Method for manufacturing a garment having a rigid front portion and a stretchable back portion

Abstract

A method for making jeans. A material is weaved for use as a front portion of the jeans. The warp portion of the weave is spun with a combination of open-end and ring spinning. The weft portion of the weave is spun with open-end spinning. The resulting weaved material is then sulfur dyed, singed and pre-shrunk to form the front portion. Another material is weaved for use as a back portion of the jeans using a fabric composition which is 79% cotton, 20% filament fiber polyester, 1% spandex. The warp portion of the weave is spun using a combination of open-end and ring spinning. The weft portion of the weave is made from the filament fiber polyester. The resulting fabric composition weaved material is then indigo dyed and singed and then pre-shrunk to form the back portion. The two portions are cut and sewed together to produce the jeans.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A method for making jeans comprising:
 a) weaving a material for use as a front portion of said jeans using 100% cotton to obtain a weave construction having a predetermined yarn count, wherein the warp portion of the weave is spun with a combination of open-end spinning and ring spinning with a predetermined thread count, and the weft portion of the weave is spun with open-end spinning with a predetermined thread count;   b) sulfur dyeing the resulting cotton fiber weaved material;   c) singeing the sulfur dyed weaved material to obtain a uniform and smooth fabric surface;   d) pre-shrinking the sulfur dyed weaved material after said singeing to form a front portion;   e) weaving a material for use as a back portion of said jeans using a fabric composition which is 79% cotton, 20% filament fiber polyester, 1% spandex to obtain a weave construction having a predetermined yarn count, wherein the warp portion of the weave is spun using a combination of open-end spinning and ring spinning with a predetermined thread count, and the weft portion of the weave is made from the filament fiber polyester with a predetermined thread count;   f) indigo dyeing the resulting fabric composition weaved material;   g) singeing the indigo dyed weaved material to obtain a uniform and smooth fabric surface;   h) pre-shrinking the indigo dyed weaved material after said singeing to form a back portion;   i) cutting said front portion and said back portion and sewing said cut front portion and back portion together to produce said jeans.   
     
     
         2 . The method defined by  claim 1  wherein the predetermined yarn count of the front portion is 10+10RSB*10. 
     
     
         3 . The method defined by  claim 1  wherein the predetermined yarn count of the back portion is 10+9RSB*150 D/40 D+150 D/40 D 83*60. 
     
     
         4 . The method defined by  claim 1  wherein the predetermined thread count of the warp portion of the weave of the front portion is 28 threads/cm. 
     
     
         5 . The method defined by  claim 1  wherein the predetermined thread count of the weft portion of the weave of the front portion is 20 threads/cm. 
     
     
         6 . The method defined by  claim 1  wherein the predetermined thread count of the warp portion of the weave of the back portion is 33 threads/cm. 
     
     
         7 . The method defined by  claim 1  wherein the predetermined thread count of the filament fiber polyester of the back portion is 23.6 threads/cm.
