Patent ID: 7579045

Claim:
A method of forming a fabric article, said method comprising the steps of: interlacing yarns comprising multi-filament fibers to form a fabric body of knit construction; forming a raised or fleece region upon an inner surface of the fabric body; and applying a non-continuous coating in a predetermined and repeating pattern comprising discrete coating segments of between about 0.5 to about 6.0 ounces per square yard of coating material selected from a group consisting of acrylic latex, polyurethane and silicone with a single head rotary screen having from about 30 to about 195 holes per lineal inch upon yarn fibers at an outer surface of the fabric body such that the non-continuous coating is without substantial effect on hand tactile and breathability of the knit construction of the fabric body, thereby to bind individual yarn fibers together in bound groupings and to enhance abrasion resistance of the outer surface.
