Abstract
Abstract A pantleg restraining band is provided which is somewhat like a removable cuff for the lower end of the pantleg. The unit will ordinarily come in pairs, and comprises a band, which may be elastic, and which defines spaced, inverted pockets which receive plastic clips to clip onto the pantleg. The band has hook-and-loop fastener material so that it can be wrapped around the bottom of the pantleg and engaged on itself to peg the pants.
