1. An article of clothing comprising one or more wire paths comprising a composite core yarn, wherein each wire path is connected between an electrode mounted on an inner surface of the article of clothing and a control station, the control station being spaced away from and being in communication with the electrode, where the one or more wire paths have an electrically non-conductive coating which prevents a transfer of an electric current between a wire path core and a surrounding area thereof;
wherein the composite core yarn comprises a core and a cover layer encapsulating the core, the cover layer comprising staple fibers, and wherein the core consists of three separate filaments,
which are two electrically conductive filaments and one elastic filament, wherein one electrically conductive filament of the two electrically conductive filaments is a coated filament having a filament core of a non-electrically-conductive material,
wherein the filament core has an elasticity in at least longitudinal direction thereof, such that the coated filament constitutes an elastic filament, and wherein one electrically conductive filament of the two electrically conductive filaments is a metal filament consisting of metal,
wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of copper, silver, iron, gold, magnesium, and steel,
wherein the staple fibers are distinct fibers of a finite length,
wherein the composite core yarn is a ring spun yarn, and
wherein each wire path is embroidered on the article of clothing.
