1. A process for continuously weaving a full-fashioned garment with integrated sleeves, comprising the steps of;
- providing at least two sets of warp threads to be used alternately, one set for the front and the other set for the back of the garment;
providing at least two sets of filling threads;
weaving a tubular structure section of the garment from the filling and warp threads;
a combination self-stitched—
double layer structure section continuously from the said tubular structure section;
a stand-alone double layer structure section from the said combination self-stitched—
double layer structure section; and
then a combination self-stitched—
double layer structure section from the said stand-alone double layer structure section; and
the vaxious structure sections being woven continuously one from the other to form the garment.

Abstract
The invention comprises a full-fashioned weaving process for the production of a woven garment which can accommodate and include sleeves. The garment is made of only one, single integrated fabric and has no discontinuities or seams. Additionally, the garment can include intelligence capability, such as the ability to monitor one or more body vital signs, or garment penetration, or both, by including a selected sensing component or components in the weave of the garment.
