Upper body undergarment (undershirt garment)

Abstract

An Upper-Body Undergarment (undershirt garment) that can be worn directly on top of the skin but beneath the next layer of garment as outer garment protection from upper body perspiration stains. The said undergarment is fashioned to allow ventilation and concealment and is ideal for wearing under outer garments such as shirts, T-shirts, coats, jackets, sweaters and the likes, especially in climates that are hot and the need to wear less clothing becomes important.

1 . Upper Body Undergarment (Undershirt Garment) can be worn directly on top of the skin but beneath the next layer of garment as outer garment protection from upper body perspiration stains, especially in the underarm regions. 
     
     
         2 . The said garment allows a wearer to wear a coat, shirt, or jacket, fasten opened down to the middle of the chest without detection of said undergarment. (Fasten here means buttoned, snapped, zipped, or any other method that is used to temporarily connect the two fabric pieces.) 
     
     
         3 . Said undergarment in  claim 1  allows the wearer the freedom to wear short sleeved upper body outer garments, excluding fabrics mentioned in  claims 15 a,  15 b, and  15 c, without concealing the said undergarment. 
     
     
         4 . Said undergarment in  claim 1  can be configured in an embodiment to have short sleeves, a “deep-saddle neck” back region, and a “wide-opened V” shaped chest front. 
     
     
         5 . Said undergarment in  claim 1  can be configured in an embodiment to have short sleeves, a “deep-saddle neck” back region, and an “opened-cradle” shaped chest front. 
     
     
         6 . Said undergarment in  claims 4  and  5  allows upper body ventilation which in turns lowers the upper body temperature. 
     
     
         7 . Said undergarment in  claims 4  and  5  allows upper body ventilation which in turns reduces the body's need to sweat on the upper body areas, especially the underarm pits. 
     
     
         8 . Said undergarment in  claim 3  can be fabricated using preferably a lightweight moisture absorptive fabric. 
     
     
         9 . Said undergarment in  claims 4  and  5  can be configured with elastic around a portion of or the entire bottom edge of the said garments. 
     
     
         10 . Said undergarment in  claims 4  and  5  can be configured with elastic and a drawstring around a portion of or the entire bottom edge of the garment. 
     
     
         11 . Said undergarment in  claims 4  and  5  can be configured with a drawstring around a portion of or the entire bottom edge of the garment. 
     
     
         12 . Said undergarment in  claims 4  and  5  can be configured with elastic around the sleeve edges and “deep-saddle neck” back regions. 
     
     
         13 . Said embodiments in  claims 8 ,  9 , and  10  can be configured with elastic in a portion of or the entire low “deep saddle neck” back area. 
     
     
         14 . Said garment fabric material can be sewn together preferably using a thread and a stitch pattern that reduces detectability which adds to the concealment of the said undergarment. 
     
     
         15 . Said undergarment in  claims 1  and  2  may not be concealed under:
 a. Sleeveless outer garments, 
 b. Outer garments fabricated using fishnet or web or chain-link type of fabrics, 
 c. Outer garments fabricated from transparent fabric material. 
 These fabrics, items a-c, are not applicable to this invention and are excluded from this invention. 
 
     
     
         16 . Said undergarment can be worn on the upper torso and can extend down preferably to just beneath the breast area.
