Abstract

A glove has a layer of first material, and a layer of second material is attached to the layer of first material to form a pouch. A security tag is provided in the pouch between the layer of first material and the layer of second material. In this manner, the security tag may not be readily apparent to a customer. The layer of first material may include a cuff. The layer of second material may be attached to the layer of first material at the perimeter of the layer of second material. The layer of second material may optionally comprise a label. The method of making the article includes placing a security tag on the layer of first material and covering the security tag with a layer of second material. The layer of second material is sewn to the first material, which encloses the security tag.

Claims

1. An article, comprising:

an item having a layer of first material;

a layer of second material attached to the layer of first material; and

a security tag located between the layer of first material and the layer of second material.

2. The article of claim 1, wherein the item is a glove.

3. The article of claim 2, wherein the layer of first material comprises the cuff of the glove and the security tag is located in the cuff.

4. The article of claim 1, wherein the first material is selected from a group consisting of leather, synthetic leather, cotton and a cotton blend.

5. The article of claim 1, wherein the layer of second material is attached to the layer of first material by thread.

6. The article of claim 1, wherein the layer of second material has a perimeter, wherein the layer of second material is attached to the layer of first material at the perimeter of the layer of second material, whereby a pouch enclosing the security tag is formed.

7. The article of claim 1, wherein the layer of first material and the layer of second material are opaque, whereby the security tag is hidden.

8. The article of claim 1, wherein the layer of second material is sufficiently thick such that the presence of the security tag between the layers of the first and second material is not readily apparent.

9. The article of claim 1, wherein the layer of second material comprises a label.

10. The article of claim 9, wherein the label has dimensions greater than the security tag such that the security tag is hidden when the label is attached to the layer of first material.

11. The article of claim 9, wherein the label is sufficiently thick so that the presence of the security tag between the layers of the first and second material is not readily apparent.

12. A method, comprising:

placing a security tag on a portion of a layer of first material;

placing a layer of second material covering the security tag; and

sewing the layer of second material to the layer of first material, whereby the security tag is enclosed.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein:

a portion of the layer of first material is sewn onto the layer of second material, wherein a pouch area is formed;

the security tag is placed in the pouch area; and

the remaining portion of the layer of first material is sewn onto to the layer of second material, whereby the security tag is enclosed.

14. An article, comprising:

a glove having a cuff, wherein the cuff has an inside surface;

a layer of material attached to the inside surface of the cuff; and

a security tag located between the inside surface of the cuff and the layer of material attached to the inside surface of the cuff.

15. The article of claim 14, wherein the layer of material is selected from a group consisting of leather, synthetic leather, cotton and a cotton blend.

16. The article of claim 14, wherein the cuff and the layer of material are opaque, whereby the security tag is hidden.

17. The article of claim 14, wherein the layer of second material is sufficiently thick such that the presence of the security tag between the layers of the first and second material is not readily apparent.

18. The article of claim 14, wherein the layer of material comprises a label.

19. The article of claim 19, wherein the label has dimensions greater than the security tag such that the security tag is hidden when the label is attached to the layer of first material.

20. The article of claim 19, wherein the label is sufficiently thick so that the presence of the security tag between the layers of the first and second material is not readily apparent.
