Problems solved by technology

Often, however, such an attempt is fruitless, and the wearer often finds himself constantly using one or both of his hands to hold his pants in place so they do not fall down.

Abstract

A system for releasable attachment of a liner garment to an outer garment includes a tab extending from a waistband of the liner garment; a first half of a fastener pair disposed on a surface of the tab; at least one slot disposed near an upper edge of the outer garment, the at least one slot being adapted to receive the tab; and a second half of a fastener pair disposed below the at least one slot so that insertion of the tab into the at least one slot mates the first half and second half of the fastener pair and the outer garment is supported by the liner garment. The slot may be cut through the outer garment or may be provided in the form of a loop, pocket or mounting piece through which the tab may be inserted for attachment of the fastener pair.

The problem is particularly troublesome when the wearer is participating in athletics or exercising, each of which activities exerts additional forces on the pants. Use of one's hands to keep one's ...
