Abstract
A bib for adult and infant use having a multi-ply construction with both a permeable and impermeable ply. The bib includes a collar section which has an aperture securable about the neck of the wearer. The dimensions of the bib are selected so that an apron portion of the bib can be detachably secured to a table surface and a pouch is formed in the area above the wearer's lap when the wearer is seated in a normal position with respect to the table surface. The opposite side edges of the bib in the pouch area are formed with barriers to prevent food from spilling from the bib to minimize clean-up and soilage. The apron portion secured to a table surface provides a sanitary placemat.
