Abstract
An article of clothing has a front and back, each of which has a layered structure, including a protective layer for impeding the flow of liquid through the article of clothing, and an absorbing layer external to the protective layer, for absorbing the liquid and slowing its flow downward on the exterior surface of the article of clothing, with the force of gravity, a lining for facilitating the donning and removal of the article of clothing, and sleeves and a collar that is closeable, to protect the wearer's neck area and upper arms from deposits of liquid on the wearer's upper shoulder and chest areas.
