Description
N, PETERS. PHOTO-UTNOGRAFMER, WLSPHNGTON D C HG l sind @ffm .Lines HAYDEN. or PHILAUELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
Letters Patent No. 113,659, dated April 11, 1871.,
iMPROVEMENT IN SHIRTS.
The Schedule referred to h1 these Lettera Patent a'n making part of the same.
I, JAMES HAYDEN, of the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvei ments in Shirts, of which the following is a specication.
My invention nas for its object a smooth fitting of the shirt on the breast.
This I accomplish by cutting the edges of the front ci' .the shirt Ona bias running inward, and cutting the edges of the back also on a bias running outward, in such a manner that when folded so as to bring them together at the armpit hole, and at the upper end oi' the side slit there shall be an opening from point to point, so that when the edges are sewed together the iront will be so drawn as to incline it toward the back and thus canse a smooth fitting of the bosom.
I vary the bias of the cutting of the edges, both of Vthe front and back parts of' the shirt, to suit the different forms of the persons they are intended for.
To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make a practical application thereof, will now give a full description of the same.
In the accompanying drawing which makes a partA of this specification- Figure 1 is a view of a half of the back A, and front B of the body f a shirt. y
Figure 2 is a front view of the shirt when the front and back pieces are sewed together.
Like letters in both figures indicate the same parts. A represents the half of the back part of the shirt,
`and
B the corresponding front part.
The edge a of the piece B is cnt on a bias inward, between the point l at the arm-pit and the point 2 vat or about the commencement of the side slit. The other side of the front is cut inthe same manner.
The edge b of the back piece A is cnt bias in a reverse order, the bias running outward, as seen in full lines in g. l. But the bias in the back piece is less than that of the front piece, so that when it is folded over, as represented by the dotted line a: x, the two edges have a-space, 4Z, between them.
Then, when the edges are sewed together, as seen in fig. 2, the lower part of the bosom is drawn or iuclined backward and in at the sides, whereby the bosom is caused to t snugly. n
The degree of the bias and the difference-between that of theback and front pieces A B should vary to suit different persons, so as to get the full advantage of the improvement. Yet in many instances it is not required to be nearly so great as shown in the drawing. 4
The bias may be formed in either straight or curved lines; yet curvedforms in cutting give themost com plete t to the bosom.v
The bias of the back may be made either by the cutting of the back piece vA or by sewing separate pieces to the same, as represented by the dotted lines What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
As an 'article of manufacture, a shirt having the Witnesses:
