Reversible Shirt

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a reversible shirt that may be worn in at least four different configurations. According to aspects described herein, a first torso element may be joined to a second torso element to create a pair of side seams, a pair of shoulder seams, a neck opening and a waist opening. The widths of the first torso element and the second torso element proximate the waist opening may differ to create curved side seams. The curved side seams allow for variation in drape against a wearer's torso.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shirt comprising:
 a torso region for covering a torso of a wearer, the torso region having a first torso element and a second torso element, edge areas of the first torso element being joined to edge areas of the second torso element to (a) form a pair of side seams for extending along a side of the wearer, (b) form a pair of shoulder seams, and (c) define a neck opening and an opposite waist opening, the second torso element having a greater width than the first torso element proximal to the waist opening, and the side seams being curved toward a portion of the waist opening formed by the first torso element; and   a pair of arm elements joined to the torso region proximal the neck opening and extending outward from the torso region.   
     
     
         2 . The shirt according to  claim 1 , wherein the first torso element defines a first portion of the neck opening having a first edge shape and the second torso element defines a second portion of the neck opening having a second edge shape. 
     
     
         3 . The shirt according to  claim 2 , wherein the first edge shape is different than the second edge shape. 
     
     
         4 . The shirt according to  claim 3 , wherein the first edge shape is a scoopneck shape. 
     
     
         5 . The shirt according to  claim 3 , wherein the second edge shape is a v-neck shape. 
     
     
         6 . The shirt according to  claim 1 , wherein the shoulder seams and the side seams comprise a three thread overlock stitch seam. 
     
     
         7 . The shirt according to  claim 6 , wherein the three threads of the three thread overlock stitch seam comprise a first color, a second color and a third color. 
     
     
         8 . The shirt according to  claim 7 , wherein the first color, the second color and the third color are different colors. 
     
     
         9 . The shirt according to  claim 1 , the first torso element having a first side and a second side and the second torso element having a first side and a second side, wherein the shoulder seams and the side seams join the first torso element and the second torso element such that the first side of the first torso element and the first side of the second textile face outward in a first configuration and face towards each other in a second configuration, and the shoulder seams and the side seams join the first torso element and the second torso element such that the second side of the first torso element and the second side of the second textile face outward in the second configuration and face towards each other in the first configuration. 
     
     
         10 . The shirt according to  claim 9 , wherein the first side of the first torso element displays indicia. 
     
     
         11 . The shirt according to  claim 9 , wherein the second side of the second torso element display indicia. 
     
     
         12 . A shirt comprising:
 a torso region for covering a torso of a wearer, the torso region having a first torso element and a second torso element, edge areas of the first torso element being joined to edge areas of the second torso element to (a) form a pair of side seams for extending along a side of the wearer, (b) form a pair of shoulder seams, and (c) define a neck opening and an opposite waist opening, wherein the edge areas of the first torso element are outwardly-curved and the edge areas of the second torso element are inwardly-curved, and wherein the side seams are curved toward a portion of the waist opening formed by the first torso element; and   a pair of arm elements joined to the torso region proximal the neck opening and extending outward from the torso region.   
     
     
         13 . The shirt according to  claim 12 , wherein an area of the first torso element proximate the waist opening defines a first width between the pair of side seams and an area of the second torso element proximate the waist opening defines a second width between the pair of side seams, the first width being shorter than the second width. 
     
     
         14 . The shirt according to  claim 12 , wherein the first torso element defines a first portion of the neck opening having a first edge shape and the second torso element defines a second portion of the neck opening having a second edge shape, the first edge shape being different than the second edge shape. 
     
     
         15 . The shirt according to  claim 12 , wherein the shoulder seams and the side seams comprise a three thread overlock stitch seam. 
     
     
         16 . The shirt according to  claim 15 , wherein the three threads of the three thread overlock stitch seam comprise a first color, a second color and a third color, the first color, the second color and the third color being different colors.

The shirt according to  claim 12 , wherein the shoulder seams and the side seams join the first torso element and the second torso element such that the first side of the first torso element and the first side of the second textile face outward in a first configuration and face towards each other in a second configuration, and the shoulder seams and the side seams join the first torso element and the second torso element such that the second side of the first torso element and the second side of the second textile face outward in the second configuration and face towards each other in the first configuration. 
     
     
         18 . The shirt according to  claim 12 , wherein the first side of the first torso element displays indicia.
