The invention is a multilayer ed compression support sleeve (1) construction. The laminate material includes a thin polyurethane film (11) coated on both surfaces with an adhesive (12, 13). A stretchable elastomeric polymer material (14, 15) is bonded to each of the adhesive surfaces. A substantial portion of one of the elastomeric polymer surfaces is coated with a discontinuous layer of silicone micro-dots (23). The micro-dots are applied by gravure roll printing to project a uniform distance above the elastomeric polymer surface to form small tacky dots. The laminate material is fabricated into a sleeve with the material oriented so that the micro-dots may be applied in a predetermined pattern in order to impart enhanced compression to certain areas of the support sleeve. The resulting support sleeve retains its breathability while presenting a non-slip inner surface which prevents migration of the garment on the skin of the wearer during exercise. The garment does not cause irritation to the underlying skin.
