FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to clothing and more particular to jackets. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention seeks to provide an improved article of clothing. There is thus provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention an article of upper-body clothing including shell fabric defining a body to which are attached sleeves, and between the body and the sleeves exists another instrument, preferably made of fabric, as a medium between the sleeve or the sleeve lining, and the body or body lining as applicable. Preferably, the instrument between the sleeves and the body enables an improved functionality or design of the garment. In one configuration described herein, ventilated bands or stretchable bands or stretchable ventilating bands underlying the fabric in regions of the body-sleeve seams. Preferably, the stretchable ventilating bands are attached between lining of the body and lining of the sleeve. Additionally, at least in an underarm region the ventilating bands are not overlaid by lining, thus providing a high degree of ventilation through the fabric. Alternatively or additionally the stretchable ventilating band is formed of a resilient fiber. [0003] In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention the stretchable ventilating band is formed to be relatively broad adjacent the top of the shoulder and to taper therefrom to be relatively narrow in the underarm region. Preferably, one edge of the stretchable ventilating band is joined to a corresponding edge of the body lining, while an opposite edge of the band is joined to a corresponding edge of the sleeve lining and to the seam of the fabric at which the fabric of the sleeve is joined to the fabric of the body. Additionally, the stretchable ventilating band is not joined to a shoulder pad, underlying the fabric of the body and is not joined to the fabric other than at the seam. [0004] There is also provided in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention an article of upper-body clothing including shell fabric defining a body to which are attached sleeves along circumferential body-sleeve seams, and at least one resiliently stretchable portion, underlying the fabric in regions of the circumferential body-sleeve seams and extending along the regions of the circumferential body-sleeve seams along at least one quarter of an azimuthal extent thereof. Alternatively, the resiliently stretchable portion extends along the regions of the circumferential body-sleeve seams along at least one half of the azimuthal extent thereof. Alternatively or additionally, the resiliently stretchable portion extends along the regions of the circumferential body-sleeve seams along all of the azimuthal extent thereof. [0005] There is also provided in accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention an article of upper-body clothing including shell fabric defining a body to which are attached sleeves along circumferential body-sleeve seams, and at least one resiliently stretchable portion, underlying the fabric in regions of the circumferential body-sleeve seams and extending along the regions of the circumferential body-sleeve seams along an underarm region thereof. [0006] There is further provided in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention an article of upper-body clothing including shell fabric defining a body to which are attached sleeves along circumferential body-sleeve seams, and at least one resiliently stretchable portion, underlying the fabric in regions of the circumferential body-sleeve seams and extending from the underarm region upwards partially towards the shoulder and extending along the front and back region of the circumferential body-sleeve seams. [0007] In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention the resiliently stretchable portion is a ventilating portion. Additionally, the resiliently stretchable portion is attached between lining of the body and lining of the sleeve. [0008] In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention at least in an underarm region the resiliently stretchable portion is not overlaid by lining, thus providing a high degree of ventilation through the fabric. Preferably, the resiliently stretchable portion is formed of a resilient fiber. Additionally, the resiliently stretchable portion is formed to be relatively broad adjacent a top of the shoulder and to taper therefrom to be relatively narrow in the underarm region. [0009] In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention one edge of the resiliently stretchable portion is joined to a corresponding edge of the body lining, while an opposite edge of the portion is joined to a corresponding edge of the sleeve lining and to the seam of the fabric at which the fabric of the sleeve is joined to the fabric of the body. Preferably, the resiliently stretchable portion is not joined to a shoulder pad, underlying the fabric of the body and is not joined to the fabric other than at the seam. [0010] There is further provided in accordance with still another preferred embodiment of the present invention an article of upper-body clothing including shell fabric defining a body to which are attached sleeves along body-sleeve seams, a body lining attached to the body, a sleeve lining attached to the sleeves, and ventilating portions underlying the fabric in regions of the body-sleeve seams and attached between the body lining and the sleeve lining, wherein the ventilating bands are formed of a fabric which allows for a higher degree of ventilation through the fabric than the body lining and the sleeve lining. [0011] In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention at least in an underarm region the ventilating portions are not overlaid by lining, thus providing a high degree of ventilation through the shell fabric. Additionally, the ventilating portion is formed to be relatively broad adjacent the top of the shoulder and to taper therefrom to be relatively narrow in the underarm region. Preferably, one edge of the ventilating portion is joined to a corresponding edge of the body lining, while an opposite edge of the portion is joined to a corresponding edge of the sleeve lining and to the seam of the shell fabric at which the shell fabric of the sleeve is joined to the shell fabric of the body. Alternatively, the ventilating portion is not joined to a shoulder pad, underlying the shell fabric of the body and is not joined to the shell fabric other than at the seam. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0012] The present invention will be understood and appreciated more fully from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings in which: [0013] FIG. 1 is an illustration of a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention; [0014] FIGS. 2A-2D are respective back and top views of the jacket of FIG. 1 in a first and second operative orientation; [0015] FIG. 3 is an illustration of a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention; [0016] FIGS. 4A-4D are respective back and top views of the jacket of FIG. 3 in a first and second operative orientation; [0017] FIG. 5 is an illustration of a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention; and [0018] FIGS. 6A-6D are respective back and top views of the jacket of FIG. 5 in a first and second operative orientation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0019] Reference is now made to FIG. 1, which illustrates a jacket constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As seen in FIG. 1, there is provided a jacket of conventional outer appearance having a jacket body 100 to which are attached sleeves 102. [0020] It is a particular feature of the present invention that, unseen from the outside, there is provided an instrument, preferably made of fabric, as a medium between the sleeve and the body. In the figure, the instrument is ventilating band 104. Stretchable circumferential ventilating band 104 is preferably attached between a lining of the jacket body, here designated by reference numeral 106 and lining of the sleeve, here designated by reference numeral 108, around the sleeve or any portion of the circumferential seem between the sleeve and the body. It is a particular feature of the present invention that at least in an underarm region, designated by reference numeral 110, and preferably along its entire circumference, generally the ventilating band 104 is not overlaid by lining, thus providing a high degree of ventilation through the suiting fabric, as indicated diagrammatically by arrows 112.
