Abstract: Separable articles of clothing such as trousers to allow for field removal of the lower portion of the trousers are disclosed while maintaining control of a duty belt attached to an upper portion. Two or more separate portions of trousers may be removably attached by an attachment mechanism, such as a zipper. The zipper can be unzipped to allow for restroom use without completely removing the trousers. This may be especially useful for first responders, or other professions requiring complex trousers and a need to maintain control of their duty belt and its contents at all times.
