Abstract: |
Methods are provided for producing protective and useful wearing apparel, such as work gloves, work boots and aprons, and wearing apparel so produced by such methods. The methods include joining a non-woven fibrous web, such as needled felt to a knitted web, such as a knitted jersey, and utilizing a needled staple fiber preferably from the non-woven web to join the two webs together into a formed laminate. The joining procedure is such that the finished laminate includes the needled staple fiber extending from one surface of the web to form a base surface for a subsequent application of an elastomeric coating. The resulting coated surface is textured to provide a gripping surface, for example, for use in gloves to handle smooth surfaced items with sharp edges, such as glass. The remaining exposed non-woven fibrous web surface forms a soft protective internal surface for the weaving apparel such as gloves or boots. The outer coating may be liquid impervious, or it may be permeable in order to provide a fabric laminate which is "breathable".
