In garments with a foamed net used as a clothing material (inter-lining), a
clothing material is provided that is light-weight and easy-moving, and
has improved warmth retaining property, cushioning property and buoyancy
without spoiling the feeling of the garment to the wearer and does not
cause cost increases or disadvantages in production. A foamed net in a
meshed shape being constituted with a plurality of foamed strands
intersected and simultaneously welded together at intersection points is
inserted between an outer cloth and a lining cloth. The foamed strands may
have a cross section form of elliptical shape with different ratios of
height to width and the foamed strands are welded together so that the
height direction of the cross section form may be orthogonal or almost
orthogonal to the face of the net.
