Abstract
A garment that has a liner and an outer shell defining an inner space therebetween. An elastic cinch has ends that are anchorable to the shell. At least one of the ends is located within the inner space and has an end that extends to the outside of the shell through an opening in the shell. This end is manipulable from the outside of the shell for anchoring to the shell selectively in first and second positions relative thereto. When both ends are anchored, a closed path about a body part is defined by the cinch and by a tensionable portion of the shell between locations at which the ends are anchored. The stretch of the cinch can be selected by anchoring the end at different positions relative to the shell. Sleeves of the garment include first and second panels that extend from the shoulder to the wrist of the sleeve have convex edges attached to each other by a back seam. The edges have a curvature of a radius that diminishes towards the elbow.
