Abstract
An article comprises two areas of heat-recoverable woven fabric which are joined together along a line by means of a mechanical joining arrangement, such as stitches, staples or a stitched or stapled zip, which penetrates the fabric. The direction of crimp of the area penetrated is substantially perpendicular to the line of the join, or the two areas have substantially parallel directions of crimp.
