A liquid-proof seamed article including an elastic laminated panel and a corrugated elastic laminated panel joined at the sealing regions of the laminated panels is provided. In exemplary embodiments, both of the laminated panels are corrugated. The laminated panels each include a textile layer and a protective layer. At least one of the textile layer and protective layer is elastic. An adhesive pre-treatment may be applied to the elastic laminate panel and/or the corrugated laminate panel along respective sealing regions prior to forming a seam. Additionally, the laminate can be stretched to substantially flatten the corrugations prior to forming a seam. By substantially flattening the surface of the corrugated laminated panel(s), an adhesive may be applied such that there are no gaps in the adhesive. The corrugated laminates may be used as material for making garments. An apparatus and a method for making a liquid-proof seamed article are also provided.

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.

Disclosed is a garment comprising a hooded-coat and overalls designed for improved durability and comfort. The garment is waterproof throughout. The coat has an outer layer of Kevlar fabric in the abdominal region, the outer edges of the sleeves, and along the hem. The overalls have an outer layer of Kevlar fabric on the front of the legs and on the seat. The hood and coat sections each have light reflective stripes for greater visibility and safety. There are also built in knee pads, pockets, and openings for comfort, storage, and ventilation. The garment is particularly well suited for outdoor workers exposed to weather extremes and hard, abrasive contact with the environment.

A yarn or thread may include a plurality of substantially aligned filaments, with at least ninety-five percent of a material of the filaments being a thermoplastic polymer material. Various woven textiles and knitted textiles may be formed from the yarn or thread. The woven textiles or knitted textiles may be thermal bonded to other elements to form seams. A strand that is at least partially formed from a thermoplastic polymer material may extend through the seam, and the strand may be thermal bonded at the seam. The woven textiles or knitted textiles may be shaped or molded, incorporated into products, and recycled to form other products.

A method of attaching at least two pieces of fabric in a waterproof fabric product. The at least two pieces of fabric are attached at a seam. The seam subsequently is sealed by application of a sealing tape. The method includes attaching the at least two pieces of fabric to each other by a welding process to form a welded seam, and performing the sealing by applying the sealing tape to cover the welded seam at one side of the fabric. A waterproof fabric product that has been produced using the method of attaching at least two pieces of fabric. A footwear includes a membrane including at least two pieces of fabric that are attached at a seam.

Provided are a method of collectively preparing moisture-permeable waterproof clothing and clothing prepared thereby. The method includes a step of cutting a fabric substrate and a film into a plurality of pieces, wherein the plurality of pieces includes at least a first and second group, wherein the first group includes a first substrate and film, and the second group includes a second substrate and film; a step of forming a first laminate by processing the first group; a step of forming a second laminate by processing the second group; a step of forming a seam by connecting the first and second substrate; a step of covering a seam area with the second film and then covering the second film with the first film; and a step of finally laminating the first and the second laminate along with the seam.

The neck wrap towel is a garment. The neck wrap towel is worn around the neck of a person. When worn normally, the neck wrap towel drapes over the anterior side of the person.
