A laminated material for clothing comprises at least three layers of flexible elastic material, the first, outer, layer comprising a material with a plush surface having a multitude of mini-loops for forming a hook and loop connection with a material, which does not form part of the material of the invention, having a surface having a multitude of mini-hooks, the middle layer being of an elastomeric material and the third, inner, layer being of a non-allergenic elastic material, wherein the material is omnidirectionally stretchable and the strength of the material is such appropriate weighty articles can be attached to the outer surface of a garment made from the material without dragging the garment out of shape, and has moisture wicking and antimicrobial properties, is non-allergenic and has no undesirable skin effects and at least one layer is perforated.

A fabric surface fastener including a hook surface fastener (A) including hook-like engagement elements made of a monofilament yarn on a surface of a base fabric, and a loop surface fastener (B) including loop-like engagement elements made of a multifilament yarn on a surface of a base fabric, the loop-like engagement elements being engageable with the hook-like engagement elements. The monofilament yarn is a monofilament yarn made of polybutylene terephthalate polyester resin and having certain diameter. The multifilament yarn is a multifilament yarn made of polybutylene terephthalate polyester resin. A density of the hook-like engagement elements and a density of the loop-like engagement elements are in a certain range. The density of the hook-like engagement elements is higher than the density of the loop-like engagement elements. A ground warp yarn composing the base fabrics is a multifilament yarn made of polyethylene terephthalate polyester.

A polyester-based woven hook-and-loop fastener including: a woven-fabric and engaging elements, in which the woven-fabric in which a polyethylene terephthalate-based multifilament yarn is a warp yarn and a polyester-based heat-fusible multifilament yarn is a weft yarn is a woven base fabric, a yarn for the engaging elements made of at least one kind selected from the group consisting of a polyethylene terephthalate-based monofilament yarn and a polyester-based multifilament yarn, is woven in parallel to the warp yarn into the woven base fabric, the engaging elements that are formed of the yarn for the engaging elements, that are made of at least one kind selected from the group consisting of a large number of hook shapes and loop shapes, and that rise up from a front face of the woven base fabric, exist on the front face of the woven base fabric, bases of the engaging elements are fixed to the woven base fabric by a melt-solidified material of a heat-fusible component of the the polyester-based heat-fusible multifilament yarn, and the polyethylene terephthalate-based multifilament yarn is made of a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate containing, as copolymerization components, 1.0 to 2.0 mol % of isophthalic acid with respect to a total amount of dicarboxylic acids and 2.0 to 3.5 mol % of diethylene glycol with respect to a total amount of diols.

A method of making a loop fastener product features knitting, such as by circular knitting, a pile yarn and one or more ground yarns to form a stretchable knit fabric having loops of the pile yarn extending from a knit ground, with the ground yarns including polymers of differing melt temperatures. The knit fabric is then held in a desired state while the fabric is set by first applying sufficient heat to cause the lower melt temperature resin to flow into interstices of the fabric ground, and then allowing the fabric to cool. The cooled fabric ground is less stretchable in two orthogonal directions after setting than before setting, has a greater air permeability after setting than before setting, and has hook-engageable pile loops extending from bound interstices.

A polyester woven-fabric hook-and-loop fastener has a warp yarn thickness Tb which is 0.94 times or less of a warp yarn thickness Ts. A selvage area having a constant width is present on two opposite ends, continuously in a line form in the warp direction, without misalignment in the weft direction. As a result, when the polyester woven-fabric hook-and-loop fastener is sewn onto a garment or the like, a sewing thread sewn to the selvage area is in a straight line without meandering, and thus a sewn product excellent in appearance can be obtained.

A connection system has a first adhesive which has a plurality of adhesive elements. The first adhesive has a first free end and a connection region, wherein the connection region is arranged or formed on a carrier element preferably designed as a flexible tape. A first pivotable part of the first adhesive is movable, in particular, pivotable, relative to the carrier element. The first pivotable part has free edges. In a state in which the first pivotable part is not pivoted relative to the connection region, i.e., in which both lie in a common plane, the free edges in the plane are not directly surrounded by adhesive elements of the first adhesive. The first pivotable part has, in particular, a larger number of adhesive elements than the connection region. A method for releasing such a connection system is disclosed, wherein the connection system has a second adhesive.
