Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 29, 1911.

Application filed Apri1 25, 1910. Serial No. 557,503.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERIO GEORGES BAUGATZ, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing at 27 Boulevard des Capucines, Paris, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Shirts, of which the following is a specification.

. The present invention relates to improve ments in that class of shirts, particularly dress shirts of the coat type, in which the lower portion of the bosom is not attached to the shirt body, but is left free and constitutes a flap, the object of such construction being to prevent bulging or creasing of the shirt bosom when the wearer stoops or sits down. To further this object, I contemplate the employment of a plain permanently-fiat flexible gore of exactly the same size and shape as the free portion or flap of the bosom, the gore being stitched at its top edge to the shirt body and at its remaining edge to the corresponding edge of said flap.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, where- 1n Figure 1 is a front view of a coat-shirt with the invention applied, the flap being turned up. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing one half of the shirt bosom turned back, and the flaps of both halves in their normal position.

In carrying out the invention, I employ a bi-partit-e segmental gore a of suitable textile material, the two halves of the gore being made with sloping inner edges. This gore, as a whole, is of substantially the same size and shape as the bi-partite flap 7) produced by the lower portions or flaps of the bi-partite shirt bosom c. The straight top edges of the halves of said gore are stitched to the corresponding straight parts (Z of the halves of the bi-partite shirt body that lie under the flap halves, and their curved lower portions are stitched to the curved lower edges of said flap halves. The parts a and Z) thus produce, between them, a bag or pocket, as it were, whose edges may be opened out or spread apart for washing and ironing purposes. It will be seen, therefore, that the bosom has no rows of stitches extending across it, and can, accordingly, be utilized in its entirety irrespective of the character of the opening in the waist-coat. Moreover, the edges of the bosom are prevented from fraying when the shirt is in use and also from shrinking at the top and tearing during laundrying.

I claim as my invention:

A coat-shirt comprising a bi-partite body portion and bosom, said bosom having a bipartite free lower end portion of segmental shape constituting a flap, in combination with a permanently-flat bi-partite gore of the same size and shape as said flap having the straight top edges of its two halves stitched to the adjacent halves of said body portion and the curved lower edges of its halves stitched to the curved lower edges of the adjacent halves of said flap.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FREDERIC GEORGES BAUGATZ.
