ABSTRACT:
A layered insulating fabric (11) for use as a lining for protective garments (34) of the type commonly worn by fire fighters comprises an intermediate layer (14) of pleated material sandwiched between face (12) and inner (13) layers of material. The inner, pleated, and face layers are secured together by lines of stitching (16), which maintain the intermediate layer in position and in its pleated configuration. The pleats of the intermediate layer maintain the inner and face layers in spaced relationship and define therebetween an array of air pockets (19) that function as thermal insulation. The pleats also function to wick moisture away from the face layer and toward the inner layer to help keep a wearer dry.
