Abstract
A zipper-fly arrangement for connecting two garment body panels and for concealing the zipper when closed. The panels are arranged in the form of a right hand and a left hand panel with cooperating zipper scoops to be connected with each panel. The zipper components are carried by right and left zipper tapes, each having a web with an edge to which the zipper scoops are connected and an extended portion terminating in another edge which is substantially parallel with the zipper edge, the other portion being disposed to extend past and overlie the zipper scoops. The right and left zipper tapes are positioned on the respective panels so that the zippered edges can be joined to close the panels. When the zipper is closed, the front and back faces of the zipper, i.e., the scoops, are covered by the extended portions of the web of each tape.
