Abstract
A pair of stretchable athletic pants comprising one or more panels attached together by one or more seams to form the pants in which at least one of the seams comprises an overlapping bonded seam is disclosed. The stretchable athletic pants, for example, may comprise one or more overlapping bonded seams and one or more other type of seam, such as a stitched seam. In one embodiment, for example, a plurality of overlapping seams are formed around the perimeter of the pants until only one seam remains to form the pants. In this embodiment, the final seam may be stitched or otherwise connected to complete the manufacture of the pants.
