Claim 1

In a waistband having a main band segment, the combination comprising first and second elongated band segments of common, substantially axially-uniform transverse dimension connected to extend in opposite directions from said main band segment, each of said segments having a free end and inner and outer faces, relatively long and short strips of mutually adhesive material, the relatively long strip of said material being secured to the inner face of the second of said segments to extend longitudinally therealong from a point adjacent the free end thereof, the relatively short strip of said material being secured to the outer face of the first of said segments adjacent the free end thereof, whereby said segments may be adjustably interconnected in partially overlapping fashion through adhesive engagement of said relatively short strip with said relatively long strip at a selected location therealong to thereby jointly define with the main band segment a circumambient waistband of selected circumference, and means affixed to the second of said segments to engagingly receive in slidable relation the first of said segments for maintaining the free end of the second of said segments closely adjacent an intermediate length portion of the first of said segments when the same are interconnected and said short strip is remote therefrom.
