Each of the front fabric pieces includes an integral front body part, an integral front trouser and an integral front sleeve that are connected to each other. Each of the pair of rear fabric pieces includes an integral rear body part, an integral rear trouser and an integral rear sleeve that are connected to each other. Heat welding lines are formed on joints of the headgear fabric piece, the front fabric pieces and the rear fabric pieces. The weldable zipper includes a pair of zipper strips, and a material of the pair of zipper strips can be heat welded to any one of the pair of front fabric pieces, the pair of rear fabric pieces or the headgear fabric piece.

A swimsuit is disclosed herein comprising a bust portion, and a bottom portion including a waist portion configured to surround a torso, with an inner fabric layer including an interior surface and an exterior surface, and an outer fabric layer including an interior surface and an exterior surface, a left leg opening defined by a lower left edge portion, and a right leg opening defined by a lower right edge portion. The lower left edge portion and lower right edge portion are raw cut and are bonded with a bonding layer between the interior surface of the inner layer and the interior surface of the exterior layer. A first positioning strip is formed on the exterior surface of the inner fabric layer along an edge portion of at least one of the bust portion and the bottom portion. Corresponding methods also are disclosed.

A protective garment is disclosed that is reusable and can be relaundered over 70 times. The garment is made from a single layer barrier fabric. Any seams on the protective fabric are covered with a seam tape. The seam tape can include an adhesive layer, a cover layer, and an optional film layer positioned between the cover layer and the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer can be a crosslinkable polyester polymer.

A seam structure of protective clothing that is capable of being formed quickly and has high sealing performance provided includes: a first cloth including a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to each other; a second cloth welded to the first cloth and including a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, wherein the first surface is abutted against and welded to the first side surface to form a first welding portion; a sealing cloth including a first sealing section and a third sealing section, wherein the first sealing section is abutted against and welded to the second side surface of the first cloth to form a second welding portion, and the third sealing section is abutted against and welded to the second surface of the second cloth to form a fourth welding portion.

An apparatus for the application of resin material along crease line of one or more garments simultaneously by providing means which allow at least first and second cartridges containing the resin material to be mounted in a spaced relationship so as to allow resin from each of the cartridges to be dispensed simultaneously. The resin can be applied in substantially less time than conventional systems which only use one cartridge at a time.

A structure for an article of clothing is provided and may include a first material layer defining an opening of the article of clothing and having a first portion defining an inner surface of the opening and an outer surface formed on an opposite side of the first portion than the inner surface and defining an outer surface of the opening. The structure may additionally include a plastic film attached to the inner surface and movable between a relaxed state and an expanded state, whereby the plastic film substantially surrounds the opening of the article of clothing.
