Abstract:
The present disclosure provides articles of manufacture with improved moisture control as well as methods of making such articles. In some embodiments, provided herein the article has a fabric with an outer hydrophobic surface and an inner surface with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions where the hydrophilic regions can form a pattern, allowing moisture to collect and move through the pattern, and the hydrophobic regions prevent the whole inner surface from becoming moist and the outer hydrophobic regions does not show moisture. The fabric may be used to make garments. The entire inner surface of the garment may be patterned with hydrophilic patterns for partial absorption, and the entire outer surface of the garment is hydrophobic, thereby preventing perspiration from being seen from outside of the garment. Further provided herein are methods of making fabrics with improved moisture control including by printing or knitting.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the step of forming the fabric includes:\n providing a hydrophilic material having a first side surface and a second side surface, applying a first hydrophobic material to the first side surface of the hydrophilic material, thereby forming the outer surface of the fabric, and applying a second hydrophobic material to selected portions of the second side surface of the hydrophilic material such that unselected portions of the second side surface do not receive the second hydrophobic material, thereby forming the inner surface of the fabric.
