nnoxrm-vnsr,

To all whom it may concern:

ment in place for wearin over garment, the

Be it known that I, PAUL E. Kvis'rAo, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Matlock, in the county of Washington, have made a new and useful Invention which I term a Necktie-Vest, of which the following is a specification.

body portion of which consists of a single piece of goods, unopened at the front, adapted to serve as anornamental .front to a shirt, and as an integral part thereof, a necktie, with means for holding the garment smoothly and in place for wearing.

I attain these objects by the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front view 'of the garment. Fig. 2 is a front View of the garment as it appears on the wearer before necktie is tied. 3, back view of the garment as it ap pears on the wearer. Fig. a shorter or modified form of the garment. This also shows the appearance of the tie when formed into a bow.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The main body of the garment consists of the single piece 1, preferably of decorative material. 2 and :2 represent two pieces of tape or similar material stitched to the underside of the garment as shown by the dotted lines, the tapes extending out from either side, as shown. At the ends of the tapes are the rings '3 and 3', of any suitable material, adapted to facilitate the easy adjustment of the garment, or to hold it in place for wearing. l and 4 are a series of buttonholes near the ends of the pieces 2 and 2 to afford adjustment in placing the gar- 5 and 5' loops of cloth located on the underside of the garment through which the tapes 2 and 2 pass when garment is in position for wearing.

6 and 6" stiffening material fastened underneath the garment, the scalloped edges of said material projecting beyond the lower edge of the main body of the garment. 7 and 7 stiffening material placed underneath the garment, extending to the edge thereof and from the points a to a and a to a. 8, a loop adapted to lit over a collar or shirt button. 9 and 9, a tie of the narrow orstring variety fastened to the garment, the

through the loop 10 and the piece 9 placed through the loop 10. The tapes 2 and 2 are crossed over the back as shown in Fig. 3 and inserted through the loops 5 and 5 located at the sides and under portion of the.

garment. The buttonholes 4 and a are then buttoned over suspender buttons at the sides, theplurality of buttonholes at i and at peran adjustment to suit the size of the user. The

rings

3 and 3 can be used for this purpose if their location issu'itable to size of wearer. Fig. 2 shows the tie encircling the neck before the ends of the tie are inserted through the loops 10 and 10, also thetapes 2 and :2 after being crossed at the back, passing through the loops 5 and 5 and fastened to the suspender buttons by the

buttonholes

4 and 4. Fig. 4 shows the tie after being inserted through the loops 10 and 10 and tied in the form of a bow as worn.- Fig. 4i also shows a shorter or modified form of my invention, adapted to be worn with the coat buttoned up.

The particular object of the garment is to afford light, cheap, portable and convenient means for putting up a presentable appearance. The full sized garment, when the body portion is of silk, weighs-an ounce, of cotton material, a little over an; ounce. In the drawings the body 1 is shown plain, but

in use it is preferable to have this portion of decorative material not so easily soiled. It can be easily folded up and carried in the pocket. To'illu'strate one of its uses: A factory worker in a city, whose home may be many miles from his place of work, can carryone of these garments in his pocket and when through work can put this device over his soiled shirt; the front of it being of one piece will cover up the soiled shirt underneath, enabling the wearer to stay downtown or go to a theater, etc., without having to go home to dress up. It can be worn over an undershirt, if desired, and for hot countries would be especially suitable for that purpose. The loop 8 and the fact that the ends of the tie are crossed and inserted through the loops 10 and 10 before tying holds the device in place around the neck and it can be worn with the turndown collar of'a soft shirt, with a standup collar or Without a collar, as the tie forms a double bandaround the neck. The tapes and other means mentioned serve to hold the garment smoothly over the breast. Its extreme lightness and portability are one of its distinctive features.

Having thus described my invention, what I clalm is:

1. A garment of the class described, comprising a body portion decorative and tleXible, adapted to embrace the breast of the wearer, consisting-0f a single piece, unopened front tapering toward the top, an elastic loop located at the neck portion thereof for fastening the same to a collar or shirt button, a band stitched to each side of ing aid bands in place, when worn by the user, the whole constituting a garment of extremely lightwelght adapted to be folded and carried in the pocket when not in use.

Laeessa 2. A garment of the class described, having in combination a lightweight, flexible body portion adapted to embrace the body of the wearer, consisting of asingle piece unopened front tapering toward the top, narrow sections of stiffening cloth stitched underneath and adjacent to the bottom and upper sides thereof, an elastic loop located at the neck portion thereof for fastening the same to a collar or shirt button, a band stitched to each side of the neck portion,

said bands adapted to encircle the neck as a tieof the string bow variety, loops on the front of the garment adjacent the neck portion adapted to hold the tie in juxtaposition with the front of the body portion when the tie is made into a bow, inelastic lightweight bands stitched to the underside of the portion adapted to serve as a reinforcement thereto, said bands extending from the sides of the body portion and crossing the back of the wearer, adapted to hold the front of 'said garment smooth and in position for wearing, a series of buttonholes in the free ends of said bands attachable to the suspender buttons of the wearer for furnishing adjustment andholding said bands in operative position, the whole comprising a flexible garment of extremely lightweight adapted to be folded and carried in small compass when not in use.
