Abstract

A garment with an integrated measuring device. For example, a pair of boxer shorts may have a cloth ruler stitched into the fly area of the boxer shorts. Any object which may be near the fly area of the boxer shorts may be sized up by opening the fly and inserting or extending an object through the fly or placing an object along the axis of the measuring device. The demarcations of measurement may be in inches, centimeters or any other unit of measure and may or may not be numbered. In addition, the actual demarcations may be smaller than an inch for example to make any object next to the measure device appear to be larger than it actually is. The garment may be shorts, boxer shorts, pants, pajamas, a bra, a sports bra, a shirt, a sock or any other garment.
