6 nylon yarn was used to knit a 32 gauge tricot knitted fabric then the fabric was scoured and dyed according to routine procedures the knitted fabric dyed had a basis weight of 178 g m 2 the knitted fabric had a warp elongation at a load of 0 5 kgf of 8 2 and a warp elongation at a load of 2 0 kgf of 19 3 next the knitted fabric produced above was immersed in an aqueous solution containing two types of c6 fluorinated water repellents having different performance characteristics as described above in composition 1 the fabric was wrung out by a mangle to a wet pick up of 56 by weight dried at 120 u00b0 c for 60 seconds and then treated with heat at 160 u00b0 c for 60 seconds for water repellency after the water repellent treatment the toluene repellency of the water repellent fabric was measured to be 174 seconds next the synthetic resin solution as described above in composition 2 was applied by a floating knife coating process using a knife coater the solution was applied to the knitted fabric in an amount so that the resin solids present in an amount of 16 g m 2 and then treated with heat at 120 u00b0 c for a minute then the fabric was heat set at 150 u00b0 c to give a stretchable coated fabric of example 3 the stretchable coated fabric had a basis weight of 194 g m 2 when the resulting stretchable coated fabric was measured for physical properties and the like the fabric had an air permeability of 3 cc cm 2 sec a hydraulic.
