A seam pattern is provided. The seam pattern includes a continuous double bar having a first continuous bar and a second continuous bar. The seam pattern further includes at least one discontinuous bar located between the first continuous bar and the second continuous bar. The seam pattern creates a seal when joining a first material with a second material.

A hospital-type gown or surgical gown, featuring a new sleeve end or cuff design and method of manufacture. The garment includes a main body and sleeves, with the distal end of each sleeve or cuff is constructed to provide optional superior protection and retention within a glove. The novel cuff or sleeve end design provides for perforations within an intact cuff that may allow the passage of a finger, and yet that integrity of wrist and glove junction has not been compromised when not used, and when used provides superior anchor to the wearer's thumb, and pinkie and or finger(s), inside the glove, offering improved protection and/or padding for the hand and wrist.
