Clothing fabric and clothes using the same

Abstract

Provided is a clothing fabric including through holes that pass through the fabric in a thickness direction, wherein the through holes are arranged along one direction of the fabric. A water-repellent or hydrophobic region is arranged at least at part of the fabric in contact with the through holes, and a hydrophilic region is are arranged at the other portions. A portion of the water-repellent or hydrophobic region may form groove portions. The clothes of the present invention include the above-described clothing fabric, wherein the through holes that pass through a portion of the fabric in a thickness direction are arranged along a direction of a wearer' height. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a clothing fabric and clothes using the same that can, while being water-absorbing, suppress formation of a film of a liquid even when the fabric is wet, ensure air permeability of the fabric, and always allow sweat on the skin to be evaporated on the body surface, thereby increasing the effective sweat amount, preventing exercise performance from being lowered, and allowing a person to wear the clothes with comfort even when sweating.

1 . A clothing fabric comprising through holes that pass through the fabric in a thickness direction,
 wherein the through holes are arranged along one direction of the fabric, and   a water-repellent or hydrophobic region is arranged at least at part of the fabric in contact with the through holes, and a hydrophilic region is arranged at the other portions.   
     
     
         2 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein a ratio between areas of the water-repellent or hydrophobic region (A) and the hydrophilic region (B) occupying the clothing fabric is A:B=1:99 to 90:10. 
     
     
         3 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein, when the clothing fabric is suspended such that the through holes are arranged along a vertical direction in a state where the fabric whose weight is taken as 100% is wet with 300% of moisture, the through holes maintain voids therein. 
     
     
         4 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 1 , further comprising lines for facilitating flowing of a liquid in a vertical direction when the fabric is positioned vertical to the ground. 
     
     
         5 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one fiber yarn selected from water-repellent fiber yarns and hydrophobic fiber yarns is arranged in the water-repellent or hydrophobic region, and a hydrophilic fiber yarn is arranged in the hydrophilic region. 
     
     
         6 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 5 , wherein a ratio between the at least one fiber yarn (I) selected from water-repellent fiber yarns and hydrophobic fiber yarns and the hydrophilic fiber yarn (II) is I:II=1:99 to 90:10, when the clothing fabric is taken as 100 mass %. 
     
     
         7 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein a size of each of the through holes is such that an average length in both warp and weft directions is 0.3 to 25 mm. 
     
     
         8 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein an opening percentage of the clothing fabric is 1 to 50%. 
     
     
         9 . Clothes comprising a clothing fabric including through holes that pass through the fabric in a thickness direction, wherein the through holes are arranged along one direction of the fabric, and a water-repellent or hydrophobic region is arranged at least at part of the fabric in contact with the through holes, and a hydrophilic region is arranged at the other portions,
 wherein the through holes that pass through a portion of the fabric in a thickness direction are arranged along a direction of a wearer' height.   
     
     
         10 . The clothes according to  claim 9 , wherein the clothes are sportswear. 
     
     
         11 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the water-repellent or hydrophobic region forms at least part of groove portions. 
     
     
         12 . The clothing fabric according to  claim 11 , wherein the groove portions each have a width of 0.1 to 30 mm.
