v Application filed April 28, 1924. s Serial No. 709,567.

T 0 all whom it may concern. Be it known that 1, Ann LOUIS COHEN, a

new and useful Improvements in Storm Suits and I do hereby declare that the folis a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

lowing This invention relatesto storm suits."

Objects of this invention are to provide a storm suit which will fully protect the wearer from the entrance of rain, which is so constructed that difler'ent degrees-of protection may be afforded,- and different degrees of freedom of movement accorded the user, and which is so designed that it will stand-rough service.

Further objectsare to provide a storm suit which, although formed of water proof material and principally I with cemented seams, is so reinforced that tearing of the seams most subjected'to wear is prevented,

and to provide a garment which may be simplyand cheaply manufactured.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front view of the garment partly broken away showing it upon a wearer and in one. position of adjustment.

Figure 2 is a rearview of the pants portion or leg portion, and with a part ofthe front panels.

Figure 3 is a view of the garment opened out flat and with one of the front panels turned inwardly.

Figure 4 is a sectional view on the. line 44 of Figure 3.

The garment comprises essentially a cape portion 1 having a collar portion 2 and a pair of tubular leg portions 3 and 4 connected with the remainingportionsof the garment by upwardly extending front panels 5 and 6.

The collar portion 2, it will be noted from Figures 3 and 4:, is composed of a pair of plies which may be a single piece of material folded along its outer or uppermost edge. The lower edges of the. plies forming the collar overlap the cape 1 and the front anels 5 and 6 and are cemented thereto. t is to'bc noted, however, that the front panels 5 and .6 extend to the outermost edges of the collar while the union between the cape portion and the collar stops short of the outermost edges of the collar portion so as to provide freedom for the upper edges of the cape.) Normally the collar is turned down and overhangs the garment, as shown in Figure 1. It is to be particularly. noted from Figure 3 that at the point where the cape leaves the collar portion barfstitching 7 is employed and passes through the several layers, namely, the front panels, the cape portion and the collar' portion, thus securely attaching the parts by means independent 'of the cemented seam and preventing tearing or opening of the seam. One of the front panels is provided with a button carrying fly 8 and the 0 other front panel is provided with aplurality of button holes 9 adapted'to receive the button so that these panels will form in effect a vest like portion immediately rearward of the front opening of the cape.

The cape in its most. completely closed position is adapted to have the button holes 10 attached to. the buttons 11 to thus completely close the garment. However, when this extremeprotection is not needed the cape may be ,left open and the vest like portion formed by the front panels will sufliciently protect the wearer. Ino-rde'rto hold the cape portion inwardly against the body of the wearer under certain conditions, a pair of tabs or strapsf12 and .13 are provided upon the inner sides of the cape adjacent the hip portions and are adapted to detachably engage buttons 14 carried by the rear portions of the front oa-nels, as may. be seen from Fig ure 3. hen, however, it is desired to have the cape open andalso to have a material degree of freedom, these straps are unbuttoned and'thus the cape is left free of attachment from other portions of the arment except at the collar portion. e curved rear edges 15 (see Figure 3) of the front panels secures accurate conformation of the garment to the body and prevents binding.

' It is to be further noted that under certain conditions the cape may be unbuttoned all of the way to the top and may be turned back to the point of the bar stitching 7 1195 to provide maximum freedom for the user. If desired, foot straps or loops 16 may be carried byv the lower ends of the tubular leg portions to retain them in their oorrem sired, arm straps 17 may be rovided u on the inner side of the cape jacent its or wrard edges, such arm straps heing employed in their usual capacity.

It will thus be seen that a storm suit has been provided which will afiord maximum freedom to the wearer under all conditions,

and which is adapted for various adjustments or conditions of wear.

It will "further be seen that the garment may he cheaply manufactured and will not he readily torn or distorted even under hard usage as the maximum freedom from hind 1. A Waterproof storm suit comprising a garment having a neck portion and having front flies, a pair of tubular leg portions,

and front panels adapted to be secured together and forming continuations of the leg portions, said front panels being secured to said cape adjacent the neclr portion.

2. A. Waterproof storm suit comprising a cape having a collar portion folded over its upper edge, a pair of tubular leg portions, and extension panels projecting upwardly from said leg portions and secured beneath the collar portion, said panels having interengaging fastening means upon adjacent edges and adapted to form a front 3. A storm suit comprising a cape having front flies provided with interengaging fastening means, a collar secured to said cape, a pair of tubular leg portions having front panels'extending upwardly and secured to said collar and adapted to he joined along adjacent inner edges, and straps secured to the inner side of said cape and detachahly attached to said panels adjacent the outer edges of uch panels.

4. A storm suit of Waterproof material comprising a cape, a collar portion formed of donlolev ply construction With the neck portion of said cape cementedhetween the plies to points spaced inwardly from the ends of the neck portion of the cape, a pair of tubular leg members having upwardly extending front, vest like panels adapted to be secured together, the upperends of said panels being cemented hetvveen the plies of the collar portion and extending to the ends of the collar portion, and bar stitching passing through the collar portion, the cape and.

the upper. ends of the panels at the said spaced points of said-cape.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing l have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, 1n the county ofl/lilwaulree and State of /Visconsin.
