Abstract: A full length split bell pair of trousers in which the front portion of each trouser leg from approximately the knee area to the leg bottom has a cut-away portion to provide a visual entrance to the wearing apparel on both legs, such as boots, socks or even the bare leg which would otherwise be hidden from view. In addition, such a construction provides ventilation to the legs of the wearer. With this arrangement, a greater and easier flexing of the knees is made possible because of a less confinement of the cloth forming the leg portions and the less weight resulting from the cut-out leg portions. Novel construction is used to cause the side edges of the cut-out portions to maintain substantially vertical lines so that the two leg portions will retain their tubular shapes throughout their lengths.
