Benefits of technology

[0006]According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention there is disclosed an article of long-sleeve clothing with a reconstructed sleeve. The lower two thirds of the sleeve (from above the elbow, to the wrist) is made of satin weave with a poly-spandex blend. This weave and material blend is low friction against the mousepad and provides a smooth and consistent glide when moving the mo...

Problems solved by technology

A problem faced by competitive gamers in the computer gaming industry is the friction caused by traditional long sleeve clothing against a mousepad.
Both the material used (wool/cotton) and the construction of the clothing including the placement and thickness of seams leads to an uncomfortable and high friction contact between the gamer's arm and the ...

Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective front view of an article of clothing 100 having an outer flick sleeve layer 102 on each sleeve 104 according to an exemplary embodiment. The article of clothing 100 in this embodiment is a zip-up hoodie comprising a body portion 106 with zippered front 108, hood portion 110 with tie cord 112, and two long-sleeves 104. The body 106, hood 110 and inner layer 114 of the sleeves 104 shown extending downward from the shoulder area in this embodiment may be similar to the corresponding aspects of well-known prior art hoodies. However, the sleeves 104 are modified in this embodiment to include additional structure and design for increasing performance when the article of clothing is utilized by a user of a computer such as by a competitive PC gamer. In particular, the forearm portion of each sleeve 104 includes an outer flick sleeve layer 102 over top of the inner layer 114 extending from the bicep level of the sleeve 104 down to the end of the sleeve...

Abstract

An article of clothing includes a body portion and at least one sleeve. An inner layer of the sleeve is formed by a first material, and an outer layer of the sleeve is formed by a second material having a satin weave. The outer layer extends to the wrist area and is attached such that a shiny side of the satin weave faces outward and a dull side of the satin weave faces inward. The outer layer has an orientation of a two-way stretch characteristic being around a circumference of the sleeve and not lengthwise along the length of the sleeve. The inner layer and the outer layer are joined by a longitudinal seam running lengthwise along a top of the sleeve. A wearer operates a computer mouse with the wrist area of the sleeve intermediate the wearer's inner wrist and a mousepad. The outer layer glides against the mousepad.
