Abstract
A detachable waist band extender enables an individual with a garment having a certain waist band dimension to wear the garment when the waist measurement of the individual exceeds the waist dimension of the garment. The waist band extender has a tab portion which is fastened to a button on a first side of a fly opening of the garment and a belt loop portion having a buckle at a first free end and a tongue at a second free end. The tongue of the belt loop portion is passed through a button hole in a second side of the fly opening and adjustably secured to the buckle to join the sides of the fly together. Since the tongue is adjustably secured to the buckle, the effective length of the waist band extender can be adjusted to accommodate the waist measurement of the wearer and later changed to accommodate any changes in the waist measurement of the wearer.
