A work glove liner, characterized by (a) the palm and the backside of said glove liner being a laminate, said laminate comprising (1) a non-woven fibrous web containing staple fiber; (2) a woven or knitted web; (3) the staple fiber from said non-woven fibrous web joining said non-woven web and said woven or knitted webs together; (4) said staple fiber extending from the exposed surface of said knitted web to form a basis for a subsequently applied textured coating; and (5) the exposed surface of said non-woven fibrous web forming the internal surface of said work glove liner. 11. The work glove liner of claim 10, further characterized by (a) an elastomeric coating applied to the outer surface of the palm and backside of said glove liner. 12. The work glove liner of claim 11, further characterized by (a) said elastomeric coating is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride plastisol, natural rubber, and synthetic rubber. 13. A work boot liner characterized by (a) at least a portion of said liner comprised of a laminate, said laminate comprising (1) a non-woven fibrous web containing staple fiber; (2) a woven or knitted web; (3) the staple fiber from said non-woven fibrous web joining said non-woven web and said woven or knitted webs together; (4) said staple fiber extending from the exposed surface of said knitted web to form a basis for a subsequently applied textured coating; and (5) the exposed surface of said non-woven fibrous web forming the internal surface of said work boot liner; (b) said laminate portion having an elastomeric coating thereon; and (c) said elastomeric coating selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride plastisol; natural rubber, and synthetic rubber. 14. A work apron liner characterized by (a) at least a portion of said liner comprised of a laminate, said laminate comprising (1) a non-woven fibrous web containing staple fiber; (2) a woven or knitted web; (3) the staple fiber from said non-woven fibrous web joining said non-woven web and said woven or knitted webs together; (4) said staple fiber extending from the exposed surface of said knitted web to form a basis for a subsequently applied textured coating; and (5) the exposed surface of said non-woven fibrous web forming the internal surface of said work apron liner; (b) said laminate portion having an elastomeric coating thereon; and (c) said elastomeric coating selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride plastisol; natural rubber, and synthetic rubber. 15. A work glove characterized by (a) at least a portion of said glove comprised of a laminate, said laminate comprising (1) a non-woven fibrous web of staple fiber; (2) a woven or knitted web; (3) the staple fiber from said non-woven fibrous web joining said non-woven web and said woven or knitted webs together; (4) said staple fiber extending from the exposed surface of said woven or knitted web to form a base for a subsequently applied and textured coating; and (5) an elastomeric coating on said exposed surface of said woven or knitted web; (b) said laminate being joined by said staple fiber by needling with a density of penetration within the range of between about 400 and 700 penetrations per square inch; (c) the depth of penetration of said staple fiber being within the range of between about 0.25 and 0.50 inches; and (d) the denier of said fiber being within the range of between about 1.5 and 15. 16. The glove of claim 15, further characterized by (a) said elastomeric coating is selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride plastisol, natural rubbers and synthetic rubbers. 17.
