## Abstract

An Anti-Plumber Crack Shirt is a shirt or garment worn by a person to support their pants from sagging and prevents the shirt from becoming untucked when the shirt is tucked into pants while using a belt. The shirt contains wedges attached to the bottom of the shirt that will be tucked into pants below the belt line. These wedges act as an upward force in opposition to the pants downward force thus holding the pants up similar to suspenders but without straps or any connectors. The wedges that are attached to the bottom the shirt get wedged between the person's body and the pants beneath the belt line making it difficult for the shirt to become untucked resulting in the pants not being able to sag any further.
