JOSEPH HURWITZ, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SHIRT.

hattan. in the county and State of New York. have invented new and useful Im provements in Shirts. of which the followmoved, `at the same time, however,

ing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The. object of the invention is to provide certain new and useful improvements in shirts of the neglige type whereby the worn out or torn portions can be conveniently redisplaying unused duplicate. portions thus permitting the owner to practically use the shirt twice the length ot' time of an ordinar v shirt of the same. type. More specifically, one, object is to permit or worn out bosom portions without requiring the attachment of new portions 'and without altering the appearance of the shirt.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in fthe accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Application filed May 12. 1919. Seria1`No. 296.408.`

The body 10 ofthe shirt is provided at the median line ot' the t'ront with multi-ply or reinforced front flaps 11 and 12 adaptec to overlap and to be'fastened together in the usual manner by buttons and buttonholes or other fastening devices 13. The upper-ends of thel flaps 11 and 12 are joined to the ends of the neckband 15 which like the. yoke 16 and the sleeves 17 are of usual that further description of the same. is not deemed necessary. Each of the

bosom panels

20 and 21 of the shirt body 10 is provided with marginal hemstitchings 2:2. 23. 2t and 25, of which the hemstitching 22 is adjacent the corresponding flap 11 or The hemstitchings 23 are

adjacent folds

25 and 26 formed in the body10 and eX- tending from the front edge of the yoke 1G downward to approximately the waist portion of the skirt body, as plainly indicated in Fig. 1. it being understood that the

folds

25 and 26 are approximately parallel with the flaps 11 and 12. rl`he upper marginal stitchings 24 are adjacent the front edge of the yoke 16- and the front portion of the neckband 15. and the lower marginal stitchings are approximately at the waist line of the body. The flap 11 when in close position overlies the hemstitchings 22 of the panel 21 and the ap 11 has its right-hand side extended to normally overlap the marginal stitching 22 of the panel 20 and the

folds

25 and 26 normally overlie the marginal stitchings'23 two bosom panels 20'and 21 and hence the marginal stitchings 22 and 23 are normally not visible.

The

outer bosom panels

20 and 21 overlle duplicate

inner bosom panels

30 and 31 of the same material as the bosom panels 20 is fastened at the right-hand side by stitches 32 to the body 10 at the fold 25 and beyon the hemstitching 23, while the left-hand side of this duplicate inner bosom panel 30 is Jfastened by stitches 3.3 to the flap 11 (see Fig. Je) at a point beyond the hemstitching 22. The upper end of the inner bosom panel 30 is attached by stitches 34 and 35 to the yoke 16 and the colla-rhand 15 at a point beyond the hemstitching 24: and the lower end of the inner bosom panel 30 is connected by stitches 36 with the body 10 at a' point below the hemstitching cated in Fig. 1. lThe other inner b osom panel 31 is similarly connected lev stitches 37 to the body 10 at the fold 26 beyond the 2 5` as plainly indiof the outer sides of the land 21, and of which the bosom panel 30 hemstitching 23, as plainly indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. The right-hand side of the inner bosom panel 31 is connected by

stitches

38 and 39 to the flap 12 (see Fig. 4) and the upper end of the'bosom` panel .31 is connected to the yoke 16 and the corresponding end of the collar band 15 -by stitches (not shown) but similar to the stitches 34 and 35, while the lower end of the bosom panel 31 is connected by stitches to the bodylO below the hemstitching 25. as plainly indicated in Fig. 6.

By the arrangement described, the bosom panels 20 and 2l, in case they are worn out or torn, can be cut out by cutting along the

hemstitchings

22, 23, 24 and 25, thus allowing complete removal of these panels and thereby uncovering the

inner panels

30 and 31 which now assume the functions of the

panels

20 and 21. It will be noticed that as the flap llnormally overlies the stitchings 22, and the

folds

25 and 26 overlie the hemstitchings 23, it is evident that the picots left on cutting the hemstitch'ings 22 and 23 are not visible and hence the shirt front has practically 'the same appearance as it had prior to cutting out the

panels

20 and 21.

In case the body 10 is madeof figured goods, as indicated in Fig. 7, then the iigures of the in register, and hence when the

outer panels

20 and 21 are removed, as above explained, then the figures of the under

panels

30 and 31 are in proper alinement with the remaining portions of the body.

It is understood that in practice the bosom of `a shirt is usually ruptured at the upper portion by the ends of the collar and when this rupture takes place the shirt is practically rendered useless and, as a rule, is thrown away. With the improved shirt having removable

outer panels

20 and 21 the.

life of the shirt is practically doubled as the under

vpanels

30 and 31 perform the same functionsas the

panels

20 and 21 after the latter are removed.

Each of the cuffs 50 at the end of the corresponding sleeve 17 is provided with an outer detachable panel 51 normally overlying a panel 52, and this outer panel 51 is provided with marginal hemstitchings 53 which can be cut by the use of scissors or other tool whenever the panel 51 becomes worn out thus bringing. into use another panel 52. The panels 5l and 52 are connected with an inside panel 54 and the several panels are fastened together beyond the hemstitchings 53 by stitches 55 and fastening the inner ends of the panels to the sleeve 17, as plainly f stitches 56 are used for indicated inl Fig. 5. 4A lining may be introduced between the

panels

53 and 54 to stifen the cuff in case it-is desired to do so. y

No overlying folds are necessary for the lupper and lower marginal hemstitches of

panels

20, 30 and 21, 31 are lh front of the each

outer panel

20 and 21 as these hem-"i stitched portions are usually covered by vests and outer garments such as coats and trousers.

It is understood that although only one

removable panel

20 or 21 is shown at each bosom part, it is evident that two or more such panels having hemstitched margins may be used in superimposed relation vto allow of removing one panel after another as they become torn or worn out until the under panels 30, and` 31 are-reached. p The same arrangement applies to the cuffs.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent z- I 1. In a shirt, a divided front to provide two bosom parts, each having' a plurality of .superimposed panels and hemstitches along the margins .of the outermost panel of each bosom part4 and adapted to be cut to detach the outermost panel of each bosom part from the shirt and to leave the under panel intact to perform the"function of the detached panel. v

2. In a shirt, a body provided with a neckband and with a divided front to provide two bosom parts having overlapping flaps for closing the front, each bosom part aving a plurality of superimposed panels and hemstitches along the margins of the outermost panel adjacent the corresponding flap, the top, the waist line and sides of the said body, the said hemstitches being adaptedito be cut to allow removal of the outermost bosom panels leaving the under bosoln panels intact to perform the functions of the removed panels, the said flaps overlying the hemstitches along the margins connecting the panels with the flaps.

Inl a shirt, a body having a divided front providing two outer bosom panels each havlng hemstitched margins, a neckband, a yoke, fiaps adapted to overlie to close the shirt, side flaps extending approximately parallel to the front flaps and extending from the said yoke, the said front and side flaps overlying the hem'stitched-sidvl margins of the said outer panels, the hemstitched margin at the 'upper end oftheouter-panels being adjacent the said neckband and yoke, and inner bosom panels underlying the said outer panels and being attached to the body at the hemstitched margins o f'the outer panels.
