COMBINATION-SUIT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Original application filed May 5, 1914, Serial No. 836,458. Divided and this application filed Jazmin-7 19,

' 1915. Serial No. 3,088.

Improved Combination-Suit, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip- This application is a division'of my original application for patent for a combination suit, filed May 5, 1914, Serial No. 836,458, and the invention hereinafter described and claimed is an improvement in that class of combination suits in which the short back of the body or jacket portion of the garment overlies a' drop or seat flap.

In my invention the jacket skirt extends down so as to cover the hip pockets of the garment and overlie the hips of the wearer, thus effectually excluding dust and dirt from the pockets as well as from the under garments and body. of the wearer. The

.'drop flap and jacket skirt are detachably connected by buttons which are preferably secured to the drop flap, but may be secured to the body of the garment. One button is attached at the waist-band and another button is located at the bottom of the side slit or opening between the adjacent side edges of the skirt and the drop flap and preferably secured to the latter so that it serves the double purpose of holding down the skirt of the jacket and effecting the desired closure of the slit between the drop. flap and front of the garment so as to exclude dust and dirt. The fastening also effected by the lower button serves to holdthe jacket skirt snug and tight, thus obviating the danger of the skirt being caught by machinery, etc.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a rear perspective view of the garment applied to a person. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same with the jacket skirt turned up and the drop or seat flap turned down. Fig. 3 is a-perspective showing the jacket skirt and drop or seat flap buttoned in a different position than that illustrated in Fig. 1.

In the several figures, A indicates the jacket or body portion of the garment and B, the trousers, the two being integrally con nected at the front. The jacket is, however, open along the front median line from the collar to the crotch of the trousers, as required to permit the wearer to conveniently don or remove the suit.

adapted to engage a strip which is connected Patented June 8, 1915.

The back of the trousers B is provided with asanitary drop flap D having'at its upper end buttons E with a. strap attached to the back of the I acket on the inside, as will be understood y reference to dotted lines in Fi 1. The

back of the jacket is extended to orm a so-,

called skirt A which is provided at its corners with buttonholes A which adapt the skirt to be secured as shown in Figs. 1-2, or as shown in Fig. 3. The sides of'the drop flap D are provided on the outer side with buttons G, G, which are adapted to engage buttonholes G G ,-formed on the sides of .the trousers B adjacent to the slit or opening between them and the drop flap. As shown in Fig. 3, one. of the buttonlioles G is located at the waistband D and the buttonholeGr is located near the bottom of the side slit. I desire it understood, however, that in place of the buttons bein attached to the drop flap they may be attac ed to the trousers and engage buttonholes in the flap.

By the arrangement described, the drop flap can be securely fastened in position at the sides of the trousers and the skirt of the jacket also secured so as to cover the hip pockets and form an effective closure for the side slits between the trousers and the drop flap, thus excluding dust and dirt from the undergarments and person of the wearer, as well as protecting the hip pockets.

In Fig. 1 the skirt of the jacket is shown closed in normal position and overlapping the side edges of the trousers, whereas in Fig. 3 the jacket of the skirt is shown overlapped by the sides of the trousers.-

What I claim is The improved suit comprising a body por-' tons effectively closing the slits, as described.
