ABSTRACT:
A garment fastening system for use with a pair of pants having a pair of adjoining leg segments joined at a crotch area, a waistband encircling the top opening of the pants which parts at a fly opening, wherein the fly opening consists of adjacent fly flaps, comprising hook and loop fastener strips permanently secured to each of the adjacent fly flaps to help individuals who have a difficulty in manipulating a zipper to dress into or out of the pants. In another embodiment, the garment fastening system is used with a dress shirt consisting of a pair of adjacent shirt halves, and a pair of shirt sleeve having a cuff opening, wherein the cuff opening consists of a pair of adjacent cuff flaps. The garment fastening system comprises a first set of hook and loop fastener segments sized and shaped to appear as standard buttons cooperatively arranged between the edges of shirt halves, and a second set of hook and loop fastener segments cooperatively arranged between the adjacent cuff flaps in such manner as to facilitate the quick and unencumbered opening and closing of the shirt halves and the cuff flaps.
