THE HOOK PORTION ON THE SECOND ELEMENT IS SELECTIVELY ENGAGEABLE WITH THE LOOP ON THE FIRST ELEMENT TO FASTEN THE PANELS TOGETHER. THE ADJUSTABILITY OF THE SECOND ELEMENT PERMITS THE AMOUNT OF OVERLAP OF THE PANELS TO BE SELECTIVELY VARIED. THE FIRST AND SECOND ELEMENTS ARE ATTACHED TO THE PANELS OF THE GARMENT THROUGH A GRIPPING MATERIAL COMMONLY KNOWN AS VELCRO AND A STIFFENER IS PROVIDED TO MAINTAIN THE SHAPE OF THE OVERLAPPING PANEL.
