This application relates to protective garments, and more particularly, to protective garments for blocking ingress of particulates and methods for making such garments.

BACKGROUND

Protective or hazardous duty garments are used in a variety of industries and settings to protect the wearer from hazardous conditions such as heat, smoke, cold, sharp objects, chemicals, liquids, fumes and the like. The protective garments may also be desired to reduce the ingress of particulates from the external environment to an inner compartment of the garment.

SUMMARY

In one embodiment the invention is a garment assembly including a first garment portion having an outer perimeter, a second garment portion, and a first fastener. The first fastener is positioned on the first garment portion and configured to removably attach the first garment portion to the second garment portion. The first fastener has a base portion that extends entirely about the outer perimeter. The first fastener further has an extension portion that overlaps with at least part of the base portion in a radial direction but is axially spaced apart from the base portion.
