Abstract
The present invention relates to a protective garment, such as for example that worn by a firefighter and the like. The garment of the present invention in its broadest terms comprises (a) an outer layer comprising at least one terminal edge (i.e. such as on the garment hemlines, collar, closure edges and sleeve ends), with a minor portion adjacent the terminal edge(s), and a major portion; and (b) an inner layer, divided into a major portion and a minor portion, with the minor portion of the inner layer permanently affixed beneath the minor portion of the outer layer and along the terminal edge(s) (or portions thereof) of the outer layer; and major portion of the inner layer permanently or removably attached beneath the major portion of the outer layer. In this regard, it is desireable to maintain the major portion inner layer(s) of a firefighting garment unbound to terminal ends of the outer layer so that it may more easily shed water, soil and contaminants.
