Application filed December 9,1919. Serial No. 343,677.

To elite/10min may, concern: I

Be it known that l, LOUIS KATZMAN, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of New York, borough of Mair hattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Shawl-Coat, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to arments andhas particular reference to outer body garments worn by women or children.

i The primary object of the invention is to provide a neat and stylish appearing as well as comfortable garment in the nature of a coat s fashioned as to be made from a single rectangular piece of material, and with practically no waste parts.

Another object of theinvention is to provide a means whereby two coats may be easily and economically fashioned from a single rectangular piece of material such as a shawl, blanket, or steamer rug.

Another object of the invention is to provide a means whereby a neat, comfortable and stylish garment may be easily cut and garment made in accordance with this in vent-ion.

Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of a blank indicating tile manner of cutting two garments from a single rectangular piece of material.

Figs. 4 and 5 are diagrammatic perspective views indicating successive steps in the shaping or assembling of each garment after being cut as shown in Fig. 3.

Referring now more specifically to the blank in Fig. 3 I show a rectangular piece of goods of any suitable material adapted for the making of a garment of one ply construction, said blank for example being approximately sixty by eighty inches. The

rectangular piece of materialmay first be cut longitudinally along its central part either at the center or on opposite sides of the center as shown inFig. 3 along the lines which are parallel and equally spaced from the extreme edges of the material. I thusprovidefour cufl' members 11 and also '1 indicate at the center of the figure four square pocket patches. It. will be understood that if theoriginal piece of material were to be out along itscenter two suitable garments could be made if desired without cufi extensions for the sleeves or pockets, but the beauty of the garment is enhanced materially byusing these additional features.

The blank is then marked and cut as shown in Fig. 3 to form twocomplete garments both. of which may be exactly alike in size, although by varying the position of. the cuts somewhat the fit of the garment may be varied to suit the individual wearer if desired. For the purpose of. this descrip onewill be understood: as being applicable to both garments.

The garment pattern 1s slotted at 18 along its central part and parallel to the line 10, the space between the slot 13 andthe line 10 being suitable for the formation of a collar roll 1 The slot 13 is formed with one straight out at 15 and an ogee curved line 16 which isprovi ded with a plurality of darts 17 so as to make the effective length of the oge e 16 substantially equal to the length of the straight line 15 when the darts are closed and the slot edges are sewed together as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. This construction provides a suitable shape for the garment at the neck.

The original outer edge of the pattern, the edge remote from and parallel to the line 1.0 is then cut at 18 with two straight parallel cuts at right angles to the said outer edge and at equal distances from the ends of the pattern forming thereby the back 19 and the two rear skirt members 20. of said skirt members are brought together to form the rear vertical back seam, the points 22 being brought together and coinciding with the center point 23 of the lower edge 24 of the back member 19. The edge 25 formed at the lateral end of the back member 19 is looped to form the sleeve, the points The edges 21- sired.

the short edge 28 formed by a transverse slit 29 coincides with the extreme end pon tion 24: of the lower edge '24 of the back, to form the in-seam of the sleeve. The re maining portion of the edge 24 is then made to coincide with all of the edges of the skirt portions from the points 22 to the extreme inner closed ends of the slits '29. The length of the waist line 24 is shorter than these lines from the points 22 along the upper edges of the skirt portions 2Q and consequently'said'skirt portions are gathered or Shirred vertically as indicated in 2 to take care of'the surplus material and form a certain fullness over the hips. The edges 21 may or may not be sewed together as may be desired.

The patch pockets 12 obviously may be attached at any desired points, two for each garment. he cuff members 11 correspond in length substantially to the length of the slit 18 sot-hat when the cuff members are formed into tubular shape one end thereof will be adapted to be attached directly to the circular edge 25 or: the sleeve.

Fromthe foregoing it will be understood that two snappy, stylish and comfortable garmentsinay be easily cutand' made from a single rectangularpiece of material such as a blanket or steamerrug, with the utmost "facility, and with practically no waste'niaterial or the necessity for other materialao complete the garments. This shawl coat does not require buttons, although they 'or other fastening devices may be used il de- Qrdinarily however ,I find that a 'ea ther belt 30, or its equivalent, may easily be attached to keep the front of the garment closed.

I claim:

l. The herein described method of forming two complete body garments from a to each other and at equal distances from the ends of the strip and then forming from the portion of the strip between the slits the back of the garment, while the two end portions formed by the slits are brought together at the center of the back to form the skirt portion of the garment.

2. The herein described method of forming ,a body garment from a single rectangular blank, th same comprising first the slitting of the blank along one edge with slits parallel to and at equal distances from the ends of the blank, said slits being continued at their inner ends toward each other and parallel to the aforesaid edge, then forming of the sleeves from the portions of the blank outlined by the several slits, while that portion of the blank between the sleeves-forms the back, and finally causing the end portions of the blank to cooperate with the edges of the back portion to form the skirt.

3. The herein described method of forming a garment from a single piece of material, said method comprising the formation of a slot parallel to and not far remote from one edge of the piece, the slot being provided with bounding edges of dilferent lengths secondly, the forming of darts along the longer edge of the slot to cause the edges to be made of substantially uniform length for direct union with each other, and finally assembling the material along said slot and darts to form the neck portionof the garment with more fullness on one side of the slot than the other.

LOUIS KATZMAN.
