Abstract
Ergonomic garments are disclosed which provide a more three-dimensional fit than conventional garments. These ergonomic garments are characterized by seams which curve towards a plane of movement of the limbs of the wearer. Trousers are provided with legs having an outseam that curves towards a front longitudinal axis and an inseam that curves towards a rear longitudinal axis, or vice versa. Garments, shirts and blouses are provided with sleeves having one or more longitudinal seams that curve towards a longitudinal axis along the front or rear of the sleeve, coinciding with the plane of motion of the arm. Such garments provide more freedom of movement than conventional garments with straight seams.
