Abstract
A flexible support sleeve includes a knit fabric sheet with loops of fibers on a fastening face, a strip of resin overlaying a portion of the fastening face along one edge, with a strip of adhesive disposed along the same edge on an opposite side. The strip of resin includes male touch fastener elements configured to engage the loops of the knit fabric sheet. The strip of resin has a selvedge coterminous with the edge of the flexible support sleeve and void of male touch fastener elements, such that the selvedge of the base is not engageable with the loops of the knit fabric sheet. The strip of adhesive is wider than the strip of resin, such that the adhesive strip underlays all of the discrete male touch fastener elements of the strip of resin.
