Abstract:

A garment with full silhouette ventilation assembly includes an air permeable front panel, and an air impervious lining sheet underlies and spans the air permeable panel. The air impermeable lining sheet includes peripheral edges, which is attached to peripheral edges of the air permeable panel. The air impervious lining sheet defines an opening, and a cover sheet is provided and shaped to cover the opening. The cover sheet has peripheral edges attached to peripheral portions of the opening by a selectively operable closure assembly, which extends along the peripheral portions of the opening and the peripheral edges of the cover sheet. The air permeable front panel is preferably made of a unitary sheet of a perforated leather, which is substantially non-stretchable, and no cuts or stitches on the panel, so that graphics, such as advertisement, can be painted on or attached to the panel at any locus on the panel as desired, and the panel can still provide ventilation to a wearer.
