A protective hand covering has a flexible shell with an open end and a closed end, and a constricted region between the open and closed ends. The constricted region defines a passage for receiving the child's hand. The hand covering may be worn by an infant or small child during sleeping or other activities, A gripping material is disposed on an inside surface of the shell at the constricted region and around the passage. The gripping material has a coefficient of friction higher than a coefficient of friction of the material of the flexible shell, such that the hand covering is discouraged from coming off of the child's hand.

A pullover garment assembly is configured to operate as a garment and a face covering. The pullover garment assembly has a pullover garment further comprising a body that is joined to sleeves and terminating with a collar at a first end and a hem at a second end. A neck gaiter extends upward from the collar from a connection portion joined to the collar to an upper hem. A flexible wishbone bridge bracket is arranged on a front portion of the neck gaiter at the upper hem. A drawstring is arranged through a channel at the upper hem and extends out of the upper hem through a rear portion of the neck gaiter. The flexible wishbone bridge bracket and the drawstring balance tension between the front portion and the rear portion.

A garment or accessory is provided having an elasticized portion, said elasticized portion being free of stitches or holes. The elasticized portion comprises a fabric portion of the accessory or garment to be elasticized; and a length of elastic element. The length of elastic element is applied to the fabric by a means selected from the group consisting of direct welding and indirect welding. A method is provided for elasticizing a fabric, said elasticized fabric being free of stitches or holes. The method involves providing a stack of fabric to be elasticized; stretching and positioning a length of elastic element against a first of the fabric in the stack; applying one or more ends of the elastic element to the fabric by a means selected from directly welding and indirectly welding; moving the first fabric to expose the next fabric in the stack to be elasticized; and repeating the steps for the next fabric.

A waterproof seal includes a flexible annular tube formed by an inner layer and an outer layer of a garment and surrounding a passage through which a human appendage is intended to protrude. A first cord is positioned in a cavity defined by the annular tube. The first cord has a first end, a second end and extends more than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees around the passage with the first end and the second end exiting the annular tube. A second cord is positioned in the cavity defined by the annular tube. The second cord has a first end, a second end and extends more than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees around the passage with the first end and the second end exiting the annular tube. The first cord and the second cord cumulatively cover more than 360 degrees around the passage to provide an effective water seal.

Provided is a composite textile sheet that can be used as a fabric for manufacturing a disposable textile product that exhibits an excellent moisture transpiration property and does not cause a stuffy feeling or sticky feeling when worn. Also provided are a disposable textile product that uses the composite textile sheet, a glove and a raincoat as a disposable textile product, and a method for manufacturing a disposable textile product.

A composite textile sheet 1 is made from a multi-ply sheet 15 that is formed by laminating a textile sheet 2 or 3 having air permeability and a textile material sheet 4 having liquid diffusibility. The textile sheet 2 or 3 and the textile material sheet 4 are in mutual contact, and in a plane of mutual contact, a bonded region 30 in which the textile sheet and the textile material sheet are bonded, and a non-bonded region 8 in which the textile sheet and the textile material sheet are not bonded, are formed. The non-bonded region 8 includes a space section 9. A moisture transpiration path is formed, and, through the moisture transpiration path, the space section 9, a textile gap of the textile sheet 2 or 3, and a textile gap of the textile material sheet 4 mutually communicate.

A disposable garment is disclosed. In one embodiment, the disposable garment includes a single piece with a fold seam located around a center axis running down a length of the single piece, wherein the single piece could be folded along the fold seam to form a front portion of the garment and a back portion of the garment so as to reduce sewing to form the disposable garment. The disposable garment also includes an arm portion to receive an arm, wherein the arm portion is formed when the single piece is folded along the fold seam, and the arm portion includes arm sewing seams where sewing could be applied to form the garment. The disposable garment further includes a torso portion to receive a torso, wherein the torso portion is formed when the single piece is folded along the fold seam, and the torso portion includes a front opening formed by flaps that can be opened or closed.

A safety garment with integrated earplugs designed to provide both hearing protection and high-visibility in a single garment. The safety garment with integrated earplugs includes a garment, such as a vest or sweatshirt, designed to enclose a user's torso, with a neck aperture along a top end designed to receive a head and neck therethrough and a pair of arm apertures on opposing sides, with each arm aperture designed to receive an arm therethrough. A reflective material is disposed along an exterior surface of the garment, such that the garment qualifies as a high-visibility safety garment. Additionally, a cord having a pair of opposing ends is affixed to the garment and an earplug is affixed to each end of the cord. In this way, a user is able to wear a single garment that provides both high visibility to the user and has hearing protection attached.

A ballistic-resistant garment having a tensioning fastening system, and methods of making and using such a ballistic-resistant garment, whereby the ballistic-resistant garment includes (i) a front panel having a front panel pocket configured to receive a first ballistic-resistant insert; (ii) a back panel having a back panel pocket configured to receive a second ballistic-resistant insert; (iii) a front panel elastic elongate member coupled to the front panel; (iv) a front panel first fastener coupled to a front panel elastic elongate member first end; (v) a front panel second fastener coupled to a front panel elastic elongate member second end; (vi) a back panel elastic elongate member coupled to the back panel; (vii) a back panel first fastener coupled to a back panel elastic elongate member first end; and (viii) a back panel second fastener coupled to a back panel elastic elongate member second end.

An outergarment has a shoulder strap attached to an upper portion thereof.

A combination of urine bag and skirt includes a skirt having at least one opening for a user to stretch therein his/her hand(s) conveniently; a urine bag having a bag opening, and being provided inside of the skirt; and a urine guide having a guide opening and a guide joint such that the guide joint is sleeved to the bag opening. The user can wear the skirt as a shelter, and stretches his/her hand(s), through the at least one opening, into the skirt, where the user can hold, with his/her hand(s), the urine bag and the urine guide such that the guide joint is sleeved to the bag opening so as to urinate. Therefore, the combination of urine bag and skirt has merits on easy cleaning and replacement, and on urination sheltering.
