| Abstract: |
A pants-type garment comprises two bands of material, one for each leg, and a side extension piece which extends at an angle from one side of an upper portion of each band. Each of the bands together with its side extension piece is wound helically and adjacent edges of successive convolutions are joined in a helical junction line to form a leg and associated body portion of the garment. The two body portions are then joined to form the garment. To provide greater fullness, a V-shaped crotch band is joined to upper edge portions of each band and respective side extension piece and the two crotch bands are then joined along a central junction line. The V-shaped crotch band may be used without the side extension pieces and may be used in pants-type garments having legs and associated body portions formed of panels with vertical rather than helical seams.

What is claimed is:
1. In a method of making a pants-type garment having two legs, a waist and a crotch, the steps of providing first and second pieces of material each having first and second side edges, a lower edge and an upper edge, the upper edge of each of said pieces of material having spaced portions shaped to form the waist of said garment and a reentrant intermediate portion shaped for construction of a crotch, providing first and second crotch bands each of which comprises first and second crotch band pieces joined end-to-end at an acute angle to one another, joining a side edge of said first crotch band with said intermediate portion of said upper edge of said first piece of material, joining a side edge of said second crotch band with said intermediate portion of said upper edge of said second piece of material, winding said first piece of material helically and joining said second side edge with said first side edge of said first piece of material in a helical junction line to form a first leg of said garment, winding said second piece of material helically and joining said second side edge with said first side edge of said second piece of material in a helical junction line to form a second leg of said garment, and joining a free side edge of said first crotch band with a free side edge of said second crotch band to join said crotch bands and thereby join said legs with one another to form said garment.
