ABSTRACT:
A unitary garment for full or partial coverage of a torso that may be fully put on or removed, at the choice of the wearer, as an assembled or a disassembled garment, and subsequently may be partially removed and put on, again at the choice of the wearer, has a torso portion for providing at least some coverage of the front and back of a wearer, a pants portion having a front portion, a crotch portion for passing between the legs and connected to the front portion, and a seat portion connected to the crotch portion. One of the seat portion and front portion is connected to the torso portion, and the other of the front portion and seat portion has at its edges first fastening elements to selectively attach and release to assemble and disassemble the garment. In another aspect of the invention, a unitary garment for full or partial coverage of a torso has a pants portion, for providing at least some coverage of the bottom half of a wearer, and a torso portion, for providing at least some coverage of the front and back of the top half of a wearer. One of the pants and the torso portions has an over band forming an inwardly facing ridge, the other of the portions has an under band forming an outwardly facing ridge, so that, when the one portion is disposed over the other portion, the bands interlock. Thus, the outwardly facing ridge is disposed between the inwardly facing ridge and the one portion, and the inwardly facing ridge is disposed between the outwardly facing ridge and the other piece to releasably attach the pants portion to the torso portion.
