Abstract:
1. A garment, consisting of: a close-fitting sleeve body, formed of a stretch textile, has an open upper end, an open lower end, and a body-receiving volume extending through the sleeve body from the open upper end to the open lower end; opposed, spaced-apart, surface-gripping parts are applied exteriorly to the sleeve body near the open upper end and the open lower end, respectively; the surface-gripping parts are each formed of a gripping material different from the stretch textile, the gripping material is flexible, inelastic, and has an exposed outer surface that is slightly sticky or adhesive so as to together cause the exposed outer surface of each of the surface-gripping parts to grip, and to resist slipping relative to, surfaces they come in direct contact with without leaving a resulting residue on touched surfaces; and the stretch textile resists lengthwise stretching in a longitudinal direction from the open upper end to the open lower end, and elastically stretches and constricts radially in a crosswise direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction allowing the close-fitting sleeve body to elastically circumferentially expand and contract.
