Shirt and method of identification

Abstract

A method to manufacture a distinctive high visibility affinity security identification garment. The method comprises the steps of providing a first white fabric having a brightness in the range of 230 to 255 in the brightness scale extending from 0 to 255; and, providing a second fabric having a predominant cool, calming color selected from a group consisting of blue, gray, and blue gray, said predominant cool color having a brightness of at least 190 in the brightness scale extending from 0 to 255, and having a linear pattern formed thereon, said pattern including at least one set of spaced apart generally parallel refined lines. The pieces of fabric are cut and assembled to provide a shirt having mirror image areas each made of a different one of the first and second fabrics.

1 . A method to manufacture a distinctive high visibility affinity security identification garment, comprising the steps of
 (a) providing a first white fabric having a brightness in the range of 230 to 255 in the brightness scale extending from 0 to 255;   (b) providing a second fabric having
 (i) a predominant cool, calming color selected from a group consisting of blue, gray, and blue gray, said predominant cool color having a brightness of at least 190 in the brightness scale extending from 0 to 255, 
 (ii) a linear pattern formed thereon, said pattern including at least one set of spaced apart generally parallel refined lines; and 
   (c) cutting a first portion of said first fabric in a shape and dimension to make a first sleeve of a shirt,   (d) cutting a second portion of said first fabric in a shape and dimensioned to make a first sleeve cuff of a shirt,   (e) cutting a third portion of said first fabric in a shape and dimension to make a first side of the front of a shirt;   (f) cutting a first portion of said second fabric in a shape and dimension to make a second sleeve of a shirt;   (g) cutting a second portion of said second fabric in a shape and dimension to make a second sleeve cuff of a shirt;   (h) cutting a third portion of said second fabric in a shape and dimension to make a second side of the front of a shirt;   (i) cutting a fourth portion of said second fabric in a shape and dimension to make a collar of a shirt;   (j) assembling said
 (i) first to third portions of said first fabric, and 
 (ii) first to fourth portions of said second fabric 
   
       to produce a shirt such that
   (iii) said first sleeve, first cuff, and first side are made from said first fabric,   (iv) said second sleeve, second cuff, second side and collar are made from said second fabric,   (v) when said shirt is laid flat said first side is generally symmetrical with and a mirror image of said second side,   (vi) when said shirt is laid flat said first cuff is generally symmetrical with and a mirror image of said second cuff,   (vii) when said shirt is laid flat said second sleeve is generally symmetrical with and a mirror image of said first sleeve,   (viii) said lines in said repeating pattern are generally canted with respect to the longitudinal axes of said sleeves and said first and second sides,   (ix) said sleeves are generally of equivalent shape and dimension and each have a width less than the width of said first side;   (x) said first side and second side are generally of equivalent shape and dimension;   (xi) said first cuff and second cuff are generally of equivalent shape and dimension and have a height less than 25% of the height of each of said sleeves;   (xii) gapping is produced when an individual views the shirt against a white background generally equivalent in color to said first fabric.
