1. A biological signal monitoring garment comprising:
a plurality of electrodes configured to contact skin of a subject;
a garment main body configured to be worn by the subject, the garment main body including:
a front body torso portion;
a back body torso portion provided with a band-shaped elastic body; and
a fabric backing sheet having a non-elastic structure, the fabric backing sheet being provided in the front body torso portion, and
a sheet electrical insulator having flexibility, the electrical insulator being configured to be detachably attached to the front body torso portion to interpose the fabric backing sheet between the electrical insulator and the front body torso portion, wherein
the electrical insulator has a back surface and a front surface, the back surface facing the skin of the subject and the front surface being away from the skin when the garment main body is worn by the subject,
a plurality of electrode connectors to which the plurality of electrodes are connected to input a biological signal of the subject are arranged in the back surface of the electrical insulator,
an instrument connector configured to output the biological signal that is input to the plurality of electrode connectors is arranged in the front surface of the electrical insulator, and
an electrical conductor configured to electrically connect the plurality of electrode connectors to the instrument connector is arranged in the electrical insulator.
