fabric 14 a strip of fabric material 17 is on the opposite side of the fabric 14 than the stay and the stitching 99 goes through the stay 16 fabric 14 and strip 17 the strip 17 may be any suitable fabric such as a leather like material or webbing still further the stay may be connected without the use of the strip material 17 it is also understood that other suitable means besides sewing could be utilized such as heat transfer adhesives rivets staples tape or other fastening techniques preferably the stay 16 is a single component and is manufactured by dual extrusion process it is necessary that this stay provides a necessary rigidity to provide proper support while still having a high coefficient of drag to prevent 34 riding up 34 to obtain a high coefficient of drag the material needs to be flexible which is the opposite of the requirement for a rigid support the present invention combines both of these properties into one integral unit that can be easily sewn in place the base member 16a which includes the flanges 16d and 16e and the ribs 16f is constructed of a material which has more rigidity such as a rigid thermoplastic like polypropylene the base member has a hardness of from 65 to 85 rockwell hardness and preferably 70 r 80 r and more preferably 75 r further the base 16a has been designed with a curved section 16c and a plurality of ribs 16f which design provides more rigidity while requiring less material the gripping member 16b which includes the flanges 16h and 16i and the ribs 16j is constructed from a softer material such as a blend.
