A flocked article having a resistance to splitting is described. The article has a flock layer adhered to one side of an elastomeric adhesive layer and an inelastic layer adhered to the other side of the elastomeric adhesive layer. The flock layer is adhered to a stretchable and/or elastic substrate by a third adhesive positioned between and in contact with the inelastic layer and the stretchable and/or elastic substrate.
