As a means of supporting a trouser crease (figure 3), a trouser leg 101 comprises a slit 105 that incorporates a stiffening element. The slit 105 is positioned such that, in use, it sits either side of a wearer's shoe (figure 3). Such positioning stabilises the stiffening element and causes it to resist any lateral movement of the trouser leg 101 above the shoe. The stiffening element may be a form of binding or interfacing, or it could be formed of metal or plastic. The stiffening may be formed by impregnating the edge of the slit 105 with a starch or glue, or it may be formed by using a particular form of stitching. |
