clothing

Lululemon is an athletic apparel brand; remove clothing and the brand cannot exist. Present-tense constitutive dependency, not mere chronology.

A uniform is a specific kind of clothing — standardized dress worn by members of a group or organization. A competent speaker would call a uniform 'clothing' (Law 9). Direction: specific→general per Law 9.

Sewing patterns are designed and maintained for the sake of making clothing — their purpose is to guide the reproduction of garment designs. Per Law 8d, the servant (sewing-pattern) points at the master (clothing). Remove clothing as a concept/purpose and sewing patterns lose their reason to exist.

Law 9a test: is garment a specific kind of clothing such that a competent speaker would call it one? Unambiguously yes, and the board's own accepted definitions say so verbatim: garment's definition opens 'a human-made item of CLOTHING designed to be worn on the body', and clothing's definition is 'a human-made artifact system: GARMENTS constructed from processed materials and worn on the body'. Species points at genus: the specific worn item (shirt, dress, boot) is a kind of garment; a garment is a kind of the clothing system. Nearest kind: no accepted kind sits between garment and clothing on the board, so clothing is the nearest rung. Completing this rung lets the accepted leap footwear INSTANCE_OF clothing be properly subsumed (footwear already reaches clothing via footwear INSTANCE_OF garment), per Law 11e. Pinned sense: garment as the accepted definition carves it, a single made body-covering item.
