US Patent 11930865 Garment with zonal stretch weaving

A garment is made from a material woven to have multiple stretch characteristics. The garment can be jeans and the material can be a denim. Enhanced stretch denim shaping performance is achieved through engineered placement of weave-integrated hold zones and extension zones. The hold yarns and extension yarns will have distinct stretch performance attributes, but typically have the same or similar gauge, shrinkage, tensile strength, and durability.
