Abstract: A protective garment for use as overalls or trousers or as a pullover or jacket is made of a rectangular blank having two overlapping panels which are connected to each other along the two longitudinally extending marginal portions of the blank and, if necessary, along one transversely extending marginal portion. A first row of perforations is provided to form an elongated tongue starting at the one transversely extending marginal portion and extending midway between the longitudinally extending marginal portions toward but well short of the other transversely extending marginal portion. The perforations are surrounded by a welded or otherwise formed seam which converts the blank portions flanking the tongue into two tubes to constitute the leggins or the sleeves of a garment.
