Systems and Methods for Pairing Garments

Abstract

An example method of marking garments to provide a plurality of garment pairs includes weaving a first tag into a first garment of a plurality of garments, the first tag having a corresponding first color. The method also includes weaving a first circumferential thread into a second garment of the plurality of garments, wherein the first circumferential thread is the first color, and wherein each garment comprises an open end and a closed end separated by a garment body, and wherein the first tag and the first circumferential thread are woven into the respective first garment and second garment proximate the respective open ends.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of marking garments to provide a plurality of garment pairs comprising:
 affixing a first tag onto a first garment of a plurality of garments, the first tag having a corresponding first color; and   weaving a first circumferential thread into a second garment of the plurality of garments, wherein the first circumferential thread is the first color,   wherein each garment comprises an open end and a closed end separated by a body, and wherein the first tag is affixed to the first garment proximate the respective open end.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 affixing a second tag into a third garment of the plurality of garments, the second tag having a corresponding second color; and   weaving a second circumferential thread into a fourth garment of the plurality of garments, wherein the second circumferential thread is the second color,   wherein the first color and the second color are different.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first circumferential thread is woven into the second garment offset from the open end by less than one inch. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first tag is affixed to the first garment on an outside of the first garment proximate the open end of the first garment. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the first tag is affixed to the first garment offset from the open end by less than one inch. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first tag is affixed to the first garment on a first end, but uncoupled from the first garment on a second end. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first color is different from a body color corresponding to the body of the first and second garments. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first tag comprises a first pattern, and wherein the first circumferential thread comprises a second pattern that matches the first pattern. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the first pattern comprises a dash, and wherein the second pattern comprises a corresponding dashed line. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first tag is affixed to the first garment flush with the open end. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first circumferential thread is woven into the second garment proximate the open end of the second garment.
