Benefits of technology

[0010] The present invention is a reinforced denim garment construction which can be used in the fabrication of any type or style of clothing, wherein there exist the opportunity of high stress, such as in pockets, belt loops, waist band, or the like. The reinforced garment construction is particularly useful in the construction of jeans, pants made of denim. The present invention has not only proven to be successful in the durability of the jeans, but is clearly an article of clothing having attractive appeal.
[0011] Providing for a reinforced denim garment construction, the present invention, a pair of jeans, includes reinforcing features and elements that are subjected to high stress, waist band, belt loops, yokes and pockets or the like by reinforcing the conventional material denim with nylon. This will provide for a lightweight configuration, as well as provide for a design that is durable and non-bulky.

Problems solved by technology

Though successful, this method still suffers drawbacks.
One obvious drawback is that even though multiple and / or larger stitching may increase the strength of the stitch; it weakens the denim even though stitching is the most optimal method of adhering the various components together.
There still exists the chance of breakage to occur, from weakening the denim, causing one element, such as the belt loop, to detach from the second element, such as the waistband.
Defeating the purpose of the stitch and thus causing the clothing article to be ruined.
Though somewhat successful, these rivets also have some drawbacks.
One is that the rivet can snag or scratch to another material or even detach from the material itself.
In addition, the rivets can be uncomfortable when one is sitting, leaning or lying on the rivets.
Others may find the rivets to be unattractive and distracting.
