Abstract:
A fabric with wefts that include hard yarns and elastomeric yarns in a predetermined arrangement such that at least one hard yarn is alternately arranged with at least one elastomeric yarn, the elastomeric yarns having a greater shrinkage ratio than that of the hard yarns; the hard yarns form under portions and over portions with respect to warps, said under portions being formed when said hard yarns pass along the back side of the warps and defining loop portions, and said over portions being formed when the hard yarns pass along the front side of the warps and define connection portions, wherein for each hard yarn, the number of warps passed by the loop portion is at least 6, and the elastomeric yarns form under portions and over portions with respect to said warps in a weave that is tighter than the weave of the hard yarns.

Claim (Index 39):
A woven fabric ( 101 ) that has warp yarns ( 104 ) and weft yarns ( 105 ,  106 ), the weft yarns extending over selected warp yarns ( 104 ) to provide over portions ( 108 ) and extending on the back side of the fabric between two adjacent over portions to define under portions ( 107 ) of the weft yarns,\n characterized in that the weft yarns comprise a plurality of first weft yarns ( 106 ) that have a first shrinkage ratio and a plurality of second weft yarns ( 105 ) that have a second shrinkage ratio, wherein the second weft yarns ( 105 ) have a shrinkage ratio greater than the shrinkage ratio of the first weft yarns ( 106 ), the first and second weft yarns being alternated to provide a fabric ( 101 ) pattern, and further characterized in that the under portions ( 107 ) of said plurality of first weft yarns ( 106 ) form loops ( 107 a ) that extend to cover at least 6 warp yarns and in that the under portions ( 109 ) of said second weft yarns ( 105 ) extend for an amount of warp yarns ( 104 ) that is less than 6 to provide a tighter weave of the second weft yarns ( 105 ) with respect to said first weft yarns.
