Abstract

A garment prevents a wearer from moving a shoulder forward to put an arm in front of the trunk. The garment includes a body with front and rear bodies. The right sleeve is connected with the right armhole and, when longitudinally stretched by 10 %, generates a longitudinal tension of 25 cN or more. The left sleeve is connected with the left armhole and, when longitudinally stretched by 10 %, generates a longitudinal tension of 25 cN or more. A first upper area of the rear body with four corners at the upper and lower ends of the right armhole and the left armhole has a minimum horizontal width shorter than a second upper area of the front body with four corners at the upper and lower ends of the right armhole and the left armhole.
