20110283442Garment with Stretchable Section and Related Methods - Garments having one or more stretchable sections positioned in an otherwise relatively less stretchable (or “non-stretchable”) garment. Among other things, the one or more stretchable sections preferably provide improved wearability when worn by the user. The relatively more stretchable section or sections preferably are constructed of material that provides at least 4-way directional stretch capabilities to the stretchable material and are selectively shaped and/or positioned on an article of clothing in an area where the wearer's body movement may cause stress to the garment material. The relatively more stretchable material facilitates garment expandability, thus providing for improved garment wearability, increased wearer comfort, and extended garment life.11-24-2011
