Tailored and protective undergarments

A method of making a fastener tab for a garment, or the like, comprising the steps of:

• orienting a first continuous strip of loop type filamentary material;
• locating, on a backside of said first continuous strip, a plurality of second strips of hook type filamentary material with the second strips spaced apart from each other to establish hinges in regions of said tab comprising only said first strip, and the hook type filamentary material facing outward;
• covering opposite side edges of said first and second strips by overlock stitching;
• and
• separating said strips into tabs each comprising opposed surfaces of hook and loop filamentary materials and a hinge.

A method of making a fastener tab, comprising the steps of:

• positioning a first strip having one surface bearing one type of filamentary fastener material and an opposite surface;
• locating on the opposite surface of the first strip a plurality of second strips, each having one surface bearing a complementary type of filamentary fastener material and an opposite surface, the opposite surface of the first strip facing the opposite surface of the second strips, and the second strips being spaced apart from each other on the first strip;
• sealing one side of the first and second strips by a first overlock stitch line and sealing an opposite side of the first and second strips by a second overlock stitch line to form a continuous fastener tab strip;
• separating the continuous fastener tab strip into multiple fastener tabs by cutting the first strip and overlock stitch lines adjacent the second strips;
• and
• sealing an unsealed end of each said tab by a third overlock stitch line.

A fastener tab, comprising:

• a first strip having only one surface bearing filamentary fastener material and an opposite surface;
• a second strip having only one surface bearing complementary filamentary fastener material and an opposite surface, and being of a length greater that the length of the first strip;
• the first and second strips being joined, back to back, and with said opposite surfaces thereof facing each other, by an ovedock stitch line sealing opposite sides, and one end of the first and second strips;
• the sealed end of said first and sec ond strips being aligned with each other, and a remaining end of said first and second strips being offset from each other.
