a substantially tubular textile comprising an interior, an exterior, two open ends defining ends of the garment, a length extending from each of the open ends across the substantially tubular textile, and a circumference circumscribing the substantially tubular textile, wherein the substantially tubular textile comprises a cross-section completely defined by fiber-based textile material throughout the entire length;
a first fiber-based textile surface on the exterior extending a majority of the length and over a first portion of the circumference, and having a uniform smoothness; and
a second fiber-based textile surface extending a majority of the length and over a second portion of the circumference, the first textile surface comprising a higher coefficient of friction than the second textile surface; and
a single layer knitted fabric comprising an exterior fiber pattern on the exterior of the substantially tubular textile that is different than an interior fiber pattern on the interior of the substantially tubular textile such that the first fiber-based textile surface consists essentially of the exterior fiber pattern, and such that the interior fiber pattern comprises a lower coefficient of friction than the exterior fiber pattern.
