Upper garment

Abstract

The present invention has an object to provide an upper garment that prevents sleeves from dropping and a garment body from unnecessarily largely moving, is less likely to lose its shape, and can provide a comfortable wear feeling, even during strenuous exercise such as sports, particularly, when the arm is raised or rotated. A sleeve peak point 6 of an armhole 5 is located between: a trapezius muscle stop point b 1 on a shoulder ridge line L of a wearer in an arm A lowered state; and a trapezius muscle stop point b 3 on the shoulder ridge line L of the wearer in an arm A raised state, whereby an arm bending point during arm raising and the armhole 5 coincide with each other. Hence, when the arm A is raised or rotated, sleeves 4 are prevented from dropping, and a garment body is prevented from unnecessarily largely moving. Further, a portion of the armhole 5 on a front garment body 2 side is designed to pass through a deltopectoral groove between a deltoid muscle E and a pectoralis major muscle D of the wearer, whereby the upward retainability of the sleeves and the position stability of the garment body are further improved.

1 . An upper garment, comprising
 an armhole having a sleeve peak point that is located between: a trapezius muscle stop point on a shoulder ridge line of a wearer in an arm lowered state; and a trapezius muscle stop point on the shoulder ridge line of the wearer in an arm raised state.   
     
     
         2 . The upper garment according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a portion of the armhole on a front garment body side passes through a deltopectoral groove between a deltoid muscle and a pectoralis major muscle of the wearer.   
     
     
         3 . The upper garment according to  claim 2 , wherein
 a lower portion of the armhole on the front garment body side passes through a front armpit point of the wearer.   
     
     
         4 . The upper garment according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a portion of the armhole on a back garment body side passes through a scapular spine protruding part of the wearer.   
     
     
         5 . The upper garment according to  claim 4 , wherein
 a lower portion of the armhole on the back garment body side passes through a back armpit point of the wearer.   
     
     
         6 . The upper garment according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the portion of the armhole on the front garment body side is concaved so as to follow a concave of the deltopectoral groove between the deltoid muscle and the pectoralis major muscle of the wearer.   
     
     
         7 . The upper garment according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the sleeve peak point is positioned such that the trapezius muscle stop point on the shoulder ridge line of the wearer in the arm raised state is closer to a neck back center point by 11% to 17% of a distance between the neck back center point and a shoulder tip point, from the trapezius muscle stop point on the shoulder ridge line of the wearer in the arm lowered state.   
     
     
         8 . The upper garment according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the sleeve peak point is positioned such that the trapezius muscle stop point on the shoulder ridge line of the wearer in the arm raised state is closer to a shoulder tip point by 62% to 66% of a distance between a neck back center point and the shoulder tip point, from the neck back center point.
