Because of the difference in the respective vertical median lengths of rear panel [8 and front Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are patterns for cutting fabric panels and the Seam i h finished for utilization in fabrication of the garment of menl? lies forwardly Of find-d sta ce t rou h the crotch between the center of the top edge The garment comprises essentially five fabric of the Waistba d 40 in front and the center of parts which are conveniently cut from tubular t e top edge of the waistband 40 in back. In the fabric on the patterns of Figs. 4, 5, and 6. The preferred o the pper edges 33 of the D p ttern of 4 and Fig 5 are preferably used l4 and I6 are likewise gathered for stitching to to cut double-thickness of tubular fabric, as is a Waist-band, for example, an elastic waist-band the pattern of Fig. 6 with the left-hand edge, 40. h a rin at the p 33 and the botas shown in Fig. 6, overlying a fold line of the 110m 3 0f e panels I d 5 gives pp te w t cut from m curvatures to the seams l5, as shown in Fig. 1. thickness tubular fabric, the fabric from the Fig. It should be noted that the material of the front 4 pattern provides two mirror-image front side 35 pa I and 5, as Well as of the d panels 1 portions for the garment, l0 and I2; the fabric and I2, if constituted of knit material, and of from the pattern of Fig. 5 provides two identical ar panel l8 e al 0 Cut that the Wales there- 'front central portions of generally rectangular of run vertically in the gar t to give te l shape and including an outer central portion I4 eXtensibilityand an inner central portion l6; and the fabric 40 he at eri g f t e t p f the Central panels from. the pattern of Fig. 6, when unfolded, pro- 14 and I6 tends to permit the waistband 40 to vides a single piece of knit fabric which is utibe stretched laterally without causing a lifting lized as the rear portion it.

However, for aportion of While I have shown in Fig. 5 lower edges of panels l4 and i6 as having a convex curvature, this line may be straight or, if desired, it may be notched to deepen the pouch at the bottom of the panels.
As will be noted from the relative dimensions of the patterns of Figs. 5 and 6, the bottom edges 30 of the central panels have a dimension substantially equivalent to twice the width of the bottom edge 26 of the pattern of Fig. 6. When the fabric cut from the pattern of Fig. 6 is unfolded to form the rear panel 18, its bottom edge is therefore substantially equal in length to the identical lengths of the two bottom edges of the two fabric layers cut from the pattern of Fig. 5. However, due to the gathering of the bottom edges of the front panels l4 and 16, to form the pouch which extends forwardly and upwardly from the seam 32, there are outer portions of the bottom edge 26 of the rear panel remaining for attachment thereto ofthe bottom edges 28 of the side panels I and I2.
With a garment thus fabricated, the longitudinal tensions through the crotch are almost wholly along the seam lines 15, causing these seams to lie snugly against the body lines. They thus act as confining barriers, just as the edges of a loin cloth, with the material intervening these seams forming a controlled, molded pouch suspended from the elastic waistband, having front fullness bounded at the bottom by the seam 32, and with the material lying outwardly of the seams l tending to bend forwardly about the seams l5 as fold lines to lie fiat against the front leg portions outside of the groin. The seams I5, extending upwardly from seam 32 about 5 inches, rather than the leg opening edges, are at the groin lines. Positive confinement of the male parts in the pouch is secured, since the leg openings always stay outside of the groin lines which are occupied by the tensioned seams [5 in this area. Binding incident to misplacement of the leg opening edges or exposure due to looseness of the leg openings cannot, therefore,
occur.
While I have illustrated in the drawings a garment having a double thickness central panel with a double fly-front, it can be seen that a conventional single or other form of fly-front may be substituted so long as the seams [5 remain placed substantially as shown. Other modifications and details may be incorporated without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
I claim:
1. A mans supporter-type garment comprising an elastic stretchable waistband, side and rear knit fabric portions extending downwardly from said waistband at the back and along the sides of the garment, and a central front portion of knit fabric of generally rectangular shape extending downwardly from said waistband at the front of said garment towards the crotch with its wales running vertically of the garment, the median vertical length of said front portion being less than the vertical median length of said rear portion, said front portion being seamed at its bottom edge along a substantially straight transverse seam, located forwardly of the middistance through the crotch between the center of the top edge of the waistband in front and the center of the top edge of the waistband in back, to a central section of the bottom edge of said rear portion of less length than the length of the lower edge of said rectangular front portion to form gathers at the bottom of the front portion, said front portion being seamed along its upper edge to a section of the lower edge of said waistband of less length than the length of the upper edge of said rectangular portion to form gathers at the top of said front portion permitting lateral stretch of said waistband in front unrestricted by said central portion, and vertical lines of stitching extending separately on either side of said central portion from the waistband down to said transverse seam, and bottom edges of said side portions being seamed to said rear portion along extensions of said transverse seam, the gathers at the bottom of said front portion cooperating with said transverse seam to form a shaped supporting pouch in the front of said garment.
2. A mans supporter-type garment, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the front portion comprises a double layer of fabric and wherein the vertical lines of stitching seam sections of the vertical side edges of said layers to adjacent vertical side edges of said side portions, unseamed sections of the vertical side edges of said layers forming a fly-opening for the garment.
3. A mans supporter-type garment comprising an elastic stretchable waistband, side and rear knit fabric portions extending downwardly from said waistband at the back and along the sides of the garment, and a central front panel composed of two rectangular pieces of knit fabric overlying one another and extending downwardly from said waistband at the front of said garment towards the crotch with the wales in at least one of said pieces running vertically of the garment, the median vertical length of said front panel being less than the vertical median length of said rear portion, said front panel being seamed at its bottom edge along a substantially straight transverse seam, located forwardly of the mid-distance through the crotch between the center of the top edge of the Waistband in front and the center of the top edge of the waistband in back, to a central section of the bottom edge of said rear portion of less length than the length of the lower edge of said rectangular front panel to form gathers at the bottom of the front panel, said front panel being seamed along its upper edge to a section of the lower edge of said waistband of less length than the length of the upper edge of said rectangular piece to form gathers at the top of said front panel permitting lateral stretch of said waistband in front unrestricted by said central panel, one pair of opposite vertical edges of the layers of said centarl panel being seamed to vertical edges of said side portions throughout their lengths along vertical seams which extend separately from the waistband down to said transverse seam, the other pair of opposite vertical edges of said layers being seamed to the side portions by said seams only along sections thereof, the unseamed sections providing a fly-opening for the garment, and bottom edges of said side portions being seamed to said rear portion along extensions of said transverse seam, the gathers at the bottom of said front panel cooperating with said transverse seam to form a shaped double-layer supporting pouch in the front of said garment.
