'ADOLPH R. JACOBS, OF PORTLAND, OREGON.
SHIRT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 21, 1919.
Application filed February 25. 1916. Serial No. 80,525.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ADOLPH R. JACOBS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Portland, county of Multnomah, State of Oregon, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shirts, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates generally to wearing apparel, and has particular reference to improvements in shirts. Shirts are ordinarily made in two styles, viz: the semi open front shirt which is adapted to be put on over the head of the wearer, and the full open front shirt, commonly known as a coat shirt, which is adapted to be put on in the same manner as a coat.
In view of the fact that some men prefer one type of shirt to another, it has heretofore been customary and necessary for dealers to carry in stock both styles of shirts, to meet any probable demands. This condition required the investment of a considerable amount of money in inactive stock, and the present invention is designed to eliminate such condition.
One of the main objects of this invention is to provide a shirt of the semi-open front style which may be readily converted into a shirt of the full open front style. In this Way a dealer need carry in stock semi-open front shirts only, and if a purchaser desires a full open front or coat shirt, the dealer may readily convert a shirt of the first mentioned style into a shirt of the second mentioned style.
I attain this object of my invention by making the shirt with a semi-open front, of the usual style, and providing the lower, unopened portion of the shirt, directly beneath this open portion, with invisible buttons and button-holes, and scams, so arranged that when the seams are opened the shirt will be open entirely down the front, the buttons and button-holes will be visible and adapted for useful service, and the shirt will become a full open front shirt of the usual style.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a semiopen front shirt made in accordance with the principles of my invention;
Fig. 2 is a fragmental view of that portion of the shirt which embodies my invention, showing more fully the details of construction; and
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but
showing the same parts after the seams have been opened and the semi-open front shirt converted into a shirt of the full open front style.
or represents a shirt of which 6 are the sleeves and c is the neck portion. The front of the shirt is made with two overlapping portions, the edges of which are represented by (Z and c. The body of the shirt adjacent the edge d is provided with buttons 7, h, and coiiperating button-holes g, z are provided in the shirt body adjacent the edge 0. By way of explanation it may be stated that button-holes are made by a machine which first stitches around the button-hole space, and the slit must be out before the buttonhole will be in shape for use. In making this shirt the button-holes z are left blind, and therefore there will be no opening in the shirt at such points. A transverse seam and a vertical seam is securely connect the overlapping portions of the front of the shirt. It will thus be seen that the buttons h are covered by the overlapping lower portion of the shirt adjacent the edge e, and are therefore invisible.
A shirt of this construction is in accordance with the well known type of semi-open front shirt, and is adapted to be slipped on over the head of the wearer. If the purchaser prefers a full open front shirt, the scams 7', 7c are opened and the slits of the button-holes z are cut. The shirt will then open entirely down the front, the buttons h and button-holes z will be adapted to useful service, and the shirt will conform with the usual full open front style.
I am aware that ordinary shirts of the semi-open front style could be made with a full open front, by merely ripping the closed portion of the semi-open front, but such conversion would not be practical owing to the fact that additional buttons and buttonholes would have to be supplied. Neither would it be practical to sew up a portion of the front of a coat-shirt, because the front edges are not initially designed for such purpose, the button-holes in such portion would be visible, and the result obtained would not be as satisfactory as that obtained by maln'ng the shirt as I propose to make it.
I claim:
1. In a shirt of the character described, a front body portion comprising overlapping edges, a plurality of buttons fixed on the underlying edge, the overlying edge being provided With a plurality of button-holes, the lower button-holes being blind, and a seam connecting the overlapping edges at a point above the uppermost blind buttonhole and extending to the bottom of the shirt-front.
2. In a shirt of the character described, a front body portion comprising overlap- 1'1) ping edges, a plurality of buttons fixed on the underlying edge, the overlying edge being provided with a plurality of buttonholes, the lower button-holes being blind, a transverse seam connecting the overlapping edges at a point above the uppermost blind button-hole, and a longitudinal seam connecting the overlapping edges from the transverse seam and extending to the bottom of the shirt-front.
