Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Prov. App. Ser. No. 61/811,659, filed on Apr. 12, 2013, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in the entirety.
- In fashion, lower body garments (e.g., jeans, trousers, shorts, skirts) can have waistbands that are worn below a waistline of a wearer. For example, the waistband of a garment can sag below the wearer's waistline and even below the wearer's buttocks. To achieve this aesthetic, wearers can wear oversized garments and/or leave the garments undone (e.g., unfastened, unzipped). In some cases, wearing garments in such a fashion can result in the garment often slipping down the wearer's legs. This can interfere with leg movement, and/or cause the wearer to often pull up the garment back to a comfortable wearing position.
- This specification relates to garments.
- Implementations of the present disclosure are generally directed to garments having multiple waist bands. In general, innovative aspects of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a garment that includes a first waistband having a first size for supporting the garment on a wearer, a second waistband having a second size that is greater than the first size, and a garment panel between and attached to the first waistband and the second waistband, such that the second waistband is configured to be supported by and separated from the first waistband during wearing of the garment by the wearer.
- These and other implementations can each optionally include one or more of the following features: the first waistband and the second waistband are separated by a distance across the garment panel; the distance is such that the second waistband rests below buttocks of a wearer during wearing of the garment; the distance is such that the second waistband rests on buttocks of a wearer during wearing of the garment; the first waistband includes an opening and a fastener for selectively closing the opening; a fly is formed in the first waistband and at least a portion of the garment panel; a faux fly is provided below the second waistband; the garment further includes a leg panel that is attached to the second waistband; the leg panel includes jeans or trousers; the leg panel includes a skirt; the garment further includes at least one pocket provided in the leg panel; the garment further includes at least one faux pocket provided in the leg panel; the garment further includes at least one pocket provided in the garment panel; the garment further includes at least one faux pocket provided in the garment panel; the garment panel includes an under-garment material, such that the garment panel appears as a portion of an under-garment; and the garment panel includes a pattern, such that the garment panel appears as a portion of an under-garment.

More particularly, theexample garment 100 includes multiple waistbands. In the depicted example, thegarment 100 includes anupper waistband 102, alower waistband 104, agarment panel 106, andleg panels 108 that are joined at aseam 110. Thegarment panel 106 is provided between theupper waistband 102 and thelower waistband 104. Although thepanel 106 is depicted as a single, continuous panel, it is appreciated that thepanel 106 can be provided as a discontinuous panel (e.g., having holes, or absence of material in various locations), and/or as multiple panels. In the depicted example, thepanel 106 is attached to the upper waistband 102 (e.g., stitched to), and extends to and is attached to the lower waistband 104 (e.g., stitched to). In some examples, a length (L) of thegarment panel 106 is sufficient to provide separation between theupper waistband 102 and thelower waistband 104. Theleg panels 108 are attached to thelower waistband 104. Accordingly, theleg panels 108 are separated from theupper waistband 102 by thelower waistband 104 and thepanel 106. - In some examples, the
upper waistband 102, thelower waistband 104, thegarment panel 106, and theleg panels 108 are made from the same fabric (e.g., cotton, denim, leather fabric, faux leather fabric). In some examples, theupper waistband 102, thelower waistband 104, thegarment panel 106, and theleg panels 108 are made from the same fabric. For example, thelower waistband 104, thegarment panel 106, and theleg panels 108 can be made from denim or cotton. As another example, thelower waistband 104 and theleg panels 108 can be made from denim, while thegarment panel 106 and/or theupper waistband 102 can be made from cotton. In some examples, thegarment panel 106 is made from a different fabric, or is otherwise different in appearance from theupper waistband 102, thelower waistband 104, and/or theleg panels 108. For example, thegarment panel 106 can provide a faux appearance of an under garment (e.g., underwear). - In the depicted example, the
garment 100 includes various features. Example features include afly 120,belt loops 122,front pockets 124, fauxfront pockets 126,rear pockets 128, afaux fly 130, afastener 132 and afaux fastener 134. In some examples, thefly 120 includes one or more fasteners (e.g., zipper, buttons). In some examples, thefly 120 is configured to be less noticeable and/or prominent when done up. In some examples, thefly 120 is camouflaged within thegarment panel 106. For example, thefly 120 can be camouflaged to appear as a seam that is typical of an under garment (e.g., underwear). It is appreciated that thegarment 100 can include more or less features than those depicted inFIGS. 1 and 2 , and/or can include other features not specified herein. - In some examples, the
upper waistband 102 and thelower waistband 104 are aligned across thegarment panel 106, such that thefly 120 and thefaux fly 130 are vertically aligned. In some examples, thefastener 132 and thefaux fastener 134 are vertically aligned. - In the depicted example, the
pockets 124 are provided in thegarment panel 106. In some examples, thepockets 124 have a depth that extends below thelower waistband 104, as depicted inFIG. 1 . In some examples, one or more of thepockets 124 has a depth that is at or above thelower waistband 104. In the depicted example, theleg panels 108 include the fauxfront pockets 126. In some examples, theleg panels 108 can include one ormore pockets 124. - In some implementations, the
upper waistband 102 operates as an actual waistband to suspend thegarment 100 from a wearer's body. For example, theupper waistband 102 can be positioned to suspend thegarment 100 at or near the hips of a wearer. In this manner, theupper waistband 102 holds the garment securely at or around the wearer's waistline. In some examples, thelower waistband 104 is a faux waistband and provides little to no suspension of thegarment 100 from the wearer's body. In this manner, when the wearer is wearing thegarment 100, thelower waistband 104 has the appearance of sagging below a waistline of the wearer, while theupper waistband 102 supports thegarment 100 at or near the waistline of the wearer. - In some examples, the length L of the
garment panel 106 is such that thelower waistband 104 has the appearance of sagging at or below the buttocks of the wearer. In some examples, a shirt and/or jacket worn by the wearer can cover theupper waistband 102 and at least a portion of thegarment panel 106, such that it appears that the garment only extends the length of thelower waistband 102 and theleg panels 108. In this manner, thegarment 100 provides a stylish aesthetic, acceptable functionality as a garment, and is secure from falling down the wearer's legs. - In some examples, a circumference of the
upper waistband 102 is less than a circumference of thelower waistband 104. In some examples, the circumference of theupper waistband 102 corresponds to an appropriate size of the wearer, while the circumference of thelower waistband 104 is larger than the appropriate size of the wearer. In this manner, any interference that thelower waistband 104 may have with movement of the wearer's legs can be reduced. For example, the wearer can be a male that typically wears US size 32 garments (e.g., jeans, trousers, shorts) (European size 81). For this example male wearer, theupper waistband 102 can be a US size 32 (European size 81), and thelower waistband 104 can be larger than a US size 32 (e.g., US size 34 (European size 86)). - Although the
example garment 100 is depicted as a pair of trousers, it is appreciated that implementations of the present disclosure can be realized in various types of garments (e.g., trousers, shorts, skirts). Further, although thegarment 100 is depicted as having two waistbands, it is appreciated that any plurality of waistbands can be provided in accordance with implementations of the present disclosure. - A number of implementations of the present disclosure have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Accordingly, other implementations are within the scope of the following claims.
