Abstract

A pair of pants ( 1 ) having an invisible quick access opening ( 2 ) along a center seam ( 10 ) of the pants. The opening extends along the center seam between a right leg ( 5 ) and a left leg ( 6 ) of the pants. The opening can be opened or shut preferably using an elongated zipper ( 12 ). When the zipper is in a closed position, it is not visible on the exterior surface ( 4 ) of the pants, thereby creating the appearance of a sewn center seam from the outside of the pants.
