Abstract:
1. A stretchable seamless underwear operable to be donned by a wearer, said stretchable seamless underwear comprising: a seamless knitted fabric receptacle including integrally knitted front and back panels that each present opposite side margins, with each side margin of the front panel being seamlessly joined to a corresponding side margin of the back panel so that the panels cooperatively form a passage through the receptacle, said receptacle including an uppermost knitted waist band that is integrally knitted with the front and back panels and forms an upper waist opening dimensioned and configured to receive the torso of the wearer when the underwear is donned, said front and back panels cooperatively defining a tapered section of the receptacle, said receptacle having an unstretched condition where the tapered section presents a cross-sectional passage dimension tapering in a direction toward the uppermost waist band so that the receptacle is operable to be retained on the wearer when the underwear is donned, said waist band being formed of a different knitting pattern than the tapered section to thereby urge the tapered section into the unstretched condition.
