Abstract

Methods are provided for producing protective work gloves and other wearing apparel, having a variety of different protective and surface characteristics, as desired, without any separate cutting, knitting or sewing operations, and wearing apparel so produced by such methods. The method includes, for example, developing a work glove including its liner in a series of steps applied sequentially to a single form moving through a production line. The method eliminates the need for a separate operation for producing fabric liners including cutting, sewing and the manual loading of each individual liner on a form for subsequent dipping and coating operations. The resulting gloves may be moisture impervious or breathable, and have a variety of textured surfaces for various uses.
