Abstract: A fabric used as outerwear having a stabilized substrate, an adhesive and flock adhered to the substrate with the adhesive. The adhesive is dried and cured, preferably aerated. A waterproof film may be applied either to the substrate or to a lining adjacent the substrate. The flock may be flattened into a laid down condition.

Abstract: A fabric which prevents outerwear from being noticed, heard or smelled by prey when worn. The fabric includes a flocked woven substrate with flattened flock fibers with the fibers adhered to the substrate. The substrate is quiet and soft. Preferably a printed layer is transferred on said flattened flock fibers and preferably is of a camouflage print pattern. The substrate is drapeable as an apparel item and more abrasion resistant than foamed knitted fabrics. Further the fabric is resistant to burr retention, wind and rain.

Abstract: A flocked polyurethane foam fabric and method for manufacturing the same for which flock fibers imbedded in an adhesive on the foam are permanently flattened and entangled. Dry ink is transferred onto the flock fibers at the same time that flattening of the fibers is taking place. The flock fibers are thermally set into their flattened state along an outer surface of a polyurethane foam base of the fabric. Flattening the flock fibers causes the entanglement of the flock, thereby improving the hand, appearance, drapeability, abrasion resistance, water repellency and heat insulation qualities for apparel items over that of unflattened flock fibers.
