ABSTRACT:
A highly dependable, symmetrically neat, non-abrasive, quick releasing-closing and selectively adjustable garment closure device useful on sporting trousers, such as martial art pants or Gi pants, comprising a pair of juxtapositionable, somewhat triangularly-shaped flap panels respectively secured along opposing side areas of a trousers rear-enclosure segment and extending a lateral distance sufficient to generally overlap at least a substantial portion of a trousers front-enclosure segment. A distal end of each flap panel is provided with a strip of Velcro-type hook material, with a first flap panel having its strip on an outer surface thereof and a second flap panel having its strip on an inner surface thereof. An inner or base end of each flap panel abutting the respective side area of the trousers rear-enclosure segment is provided with a plurality of aligned and spaced-apart strips of Velcro-type nap material, with the first flap panel having its plurality of strips on the outer surface thereof and the second flap panel having its plurality of strips on an inner surface thereof. During a closing operation, a wearer manipulates the first flap panel so as to overlap the trousers front-enclosure segment and secures the strip of hook material on its distal end with a select one of the plurality of strips of nap material on the base end of the second flap panel. Thereafter, the wearer manipulates the second flap panel so as to overlap the first flap panel and secure the strip of hook material on its distal end with a corresponding select one of the plurality of strips of nap material on the base end of the first flap panel.
