ABSTRACT:
A garment which eliminates the need for additional inseam material by using a panel of stretch material such as spandex, rubber or rubber compounds, or synthetic rubber, such as neoprene or neoprene sponge in the knee area where bending takes place to allow the knee to bend freely. The panel of stretch material used at knee portion of the garment fills an opening formed in the rigid woven fabric material making up the rest of the garment. The panel of stretch material is sewn in place covered with a waterproof tape which overlaps the edges of the stretch material panel and the woven fabric material. Stitching secures the stretch material in place, which overlaps the woven fabric material. The stretch material panel includes waterproof properties as does the remainder of the woven fabric material garment.
