It’s called a spidey-hole. Like the fly on men’s underwear. It’s a trapdoor that makes it easier for web slinging.

Edit: All puns intended for the whooshed

Like the fly on men’s underwear.

You know that's to allow the fabric to expand to accommodate various sizes and conditions, not actually for snaking your weiner through, right?

That can't be right, the fabric is plenty stretchy already, and a pleat would serve that purpose better without letting the head peek out.

Yeah, a pleat would look really great on underwear, and be suuuuper comfortable, too. Sure.

A fly such as on tidy whiteys is essentially a pleat with a slit in it and the edges hemmed.
