Claims18
A clothing arrangement, comprising:
- a crotch area;
- a pant leg secured to said crotch area, said pant leg having (i) a lateral inner area and (ii) an interior lateral lower edge;
- and
- a stay member secured to said lateral inner area of said pant leg such that said stay member substantially prevents said interior lateral lower edge from moving toward said crotch area when said pant leg is worn by a person,
- wherein said pant leg has a first longitudinal axis,
- said stay member includes an elongated portion having (i) a first end, (ii) a second, and (iii) a second longitudinal axis, and
- said first end of said elongated portion and said second end of said elongated portion are secured to said lateral inner area such that said first longitudinal axis and said second longitudinal axis are in a substantially parallel relationship.
A method of making a pair of pants which include a pant leg having (i) a lateral inner area, (ii) an interior lateral lower edge, (iii) a first longitudinal axis, and (iv) a crotch area, comprising the steps of:
- providing a stay member which includes an elongated portion having (a) a first end, (b) a second end, and (c) a second longitudinal axis;
- and
- securing said first end and said second end of said elongated portion of said stay member to said lateral inner area such that (i) said first longitudinal axis of said pant leg and said second longitudinal axis of said elongated portion are in a substantially parallel relationship and (ii) said stay member substantially prevents said interior lateral lower edge from moving toward said crotch area when said pant leg is worn by a person.
A pair of trousers, comprising:
- a crotch area;
- a first pant leg attached to said crotch area, said first pant leg having (i) a first lateral inner area, (ii) a first interior lateral lower edge, and (iii) a first longitudinal axis;
- a second pant leg attached to said crotch area such that said crotch area is interposed between said first pant leg and said second pant leg, said second pant leg having (i) a second lateral inner area, (ii) a second interior lateral lower edge, and (iii) a second longitudinal axis;
- a first stay member having a third longitudinal axis, said first stay member being secured to said first lateral inner area of said first pant leg such that said third longitudinal axis is in a substantially parallel relationship with said first longitudinal axis;
- and
- a second stay member having a fourth longitudinal axis, said second stay member being secured to said second lateral inner area of said second pant leg such that said fourth longitudinal axis is in a substantially parallel relationship with said second longitudinal axis,
- wherein (i) said first stay member substantially prevents said first interior lateral lower edge from moving toward said crotch area when said first pant leg is worn by a person and (ii) said second stay member substantially prevents said second interior lateral lower edge from moving toward said crotch area when said second pant leg is worn by said person.
