Abstract: A pants having frayable leg bottoms is provided by provision of at least one circumferential thread stitching proximate each leg bottom. The circumferential thread stitching provides a defined boundary for fraying and cutting the leg bottom to a selected length. The pant legs are cut below the stitching line to define the fabric area for fraying in the pant legs. Fraying in the legs is then provided by separation of yarns at cut bottoms in normal wear and laundering of the pants. In a preferred embodiment, the pant legs include multiple circumferential double needle top stitching rows of thread which are spaced apart from the leg bottoms.
