Abstract

A garment having two leg pieces joined into a trouser, with a waistband disposed around the top of the garment. A seat is connected at the bottom of the seat to the tops of the two leg pieces, but is not connected at the sides of the seat to the leg pieces, and also is not connected at the top of the seat to the waistband. Drawstrings are connected at one end of each drawstring to the top corners of the seat. The drawstrings are used to selectively release the seat into a dropped position when the drawstrings are disengaged one from another, and to tighten and retain the seat in a raised position when the drawstrings are engaged one with another.
