Abstract: Resin-coated bottoms of pockets to provide extended life for the porous material. Coating one side of the pocket bottoms provides enhanced abrasion resistance and reduces seam slippage along the stitching on the pocket's bottom. The resin may include a polyurethane or a polyacrylate, with a polyester polyurethane combination finding particular utility. The resin fills many of the pores of material, but leaves others open. The open pores avoids perspiration and other moisture from adhering to the wearer's skin. Coloring the resin helps identify the resin's presence as well as providing an indication of origin for the garment or pocket itself. Typically, the only manufacturing of the pocket includes coating one side of the pocketing material with the uncured resin. The compound embedded on one side of the material then undergoes curing, generally through the application of heat, to form a coherent substance and open the pores.

Abstract: A material and method for hemming garments, especially trousers, by persons lacking satorial skills. On the material appears both a pressure-sensitive adhesive and a permanent fusible resin. Further, it has a row of slots cut into it. In use, the salesman or even the purchaser of a pair of trousers, for example, will mark the trouser leg and place the material on the inside of the leg, with the row of slots aligned with the marks. Folding the material upward until the slots sit along the line of the fold gives a trouser length as originally measured. The pressure-sensitive adhesive holds the material to the inside of the garment's cloth. The purchase of the garment may then try on the trousers again to see if, in fact, the hem falls at the exact correct location. If not, the pressure-sensitive adhesive allows the unfolding of the cuff and a further trial fold.
