Abstract: A trouser construction in which the front part of the waistband is much lower than the back. The back portion of the waistband fits around the "small" of the back of the wearer, i.e. in the waist region of the body, and the side portions of the waistband are angled downwardly to follow essentially the line of juncture between the abdomen and the legs. The front portion of the waistband will cover only the lowermost portion of the abdomen. The waistband will not suspend the trousers on the body of the wearer, but will simply provide points of attachment by means of which the trousers may be suspended for example by suspenders, or by attachment to the shirt of the wearer.
