Abstract
Warp knitted briefs are produced of two congruent lengths of knitted material. The lengths are knitted together transversely to their direction of production across the width of the material, with a distance therebetween, forming side seams. In the center of the briefs, between two side seams, starting from one of the longitudinal material edges, the layers are knitted together to form a gusset region. In the vicinity of the side seams, additional connecting areas are provided between the two lengths of knitted material, which form the front and the back of the briefs. The connecting areas are tearable under a predetermined tensile load without damaging the knitted lengths of material.
