Abstract: A bib having plural manually removable protective panels. The bib has a base panel and a tie for tying the base panel around the neck of a wearer. The base panel has a male snap located at each of its right and left upper corners. Each removable protective panel has a profile corresponding to that of the base panel, and hence right and left upper corners alignable with those of the base panel. A female snap is disposed on the rear surface of each removable panel at each upper corner thereof. Each female snap is two sided, having a male snap disposed on the front surface of each removable panel. This enables removable panels to be fastened in stacked fashion to the base panel. In an alternative embodiment, the snaps are replaced by hook and loop fasteners. Optionally, a top protective panel is provided having snaps attachable only on one side, a finished surface being exposed on the opposite side.
