GARMENT CONSTRUCTION.

-My invention relates to a garmentconstruction, and has for its purpose to afford a method of securingthe free edges of haircloth in a' garment so as to prevent the hairs 6 from coming loose and workingthroughthe outer cloth of the garment;

A furtherobject of the inventionis to afford an arrangement for a garment that can be readily manufactured at a reasonable cost, and which effectually retains the hairs of haircloth fabric and prevents their ends from protruding through the garment, thus increasing the efiiciency and durability of a coat or similar structure. I 7

Other objects of the invention. will be apparent from the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying; drawings, the novel features being 'polnted out in the claim following the description. In the drawing: V Figure 1 is a front elevation ofa coat front, showing one application of my invention' 1 V V Figure 2 is a similar view of a modified form of coat front, with the invention ap-' plied; 1 a

Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 3 3 of Figure 1, and V 7 Figure 4 is a sectional view on line 4li of Figure 2.

The invention may be carried out in various ways, and resides essentially in applying a strip of protective fabric, such as a tape for instance, along a seam where haircloth is cut or along a free edge of haircloth, preferably with a layer of cement applied between the tape and the surface.

to which it is attached, the result being both to. firmly retain the ends of the hair-sand also to afford a barrier in the path of any hairs that might have a tendency to become loose.

In the form disclosed in Figures 1 and 3, the protective fabric is attached against the. surface of a layer of cotton or padding that overlies the haircloth, whereas in Figures 2 and 4, the protective fabric is secured directly against the haircloth, and between it and the overlying layer of padding. 7 Referring to Figures l-and 3, 1 designates the main coat front support consisting of canvas, to which is attached the haircloth 2, while3 designates the lapel portion, preferably formed of a more pliable haircloth or similar fabric and extending to. a 7 point adjacent to the main haircloth por- 7 .Application filed July 21,1921.

tion 2, said parts being secured tothe canvas l and located adjacent to each other along the seam 4, while 5 designatesthe padding Y which overlies the haircloth portion-2 and extends to the line of the seam 4.

Attached preferably to the [padding 5' along the free edge of the haircloth is a strip of protective fabric 6, which may be in the form of a tape, preferably. gummed, and attached to the structure by stitching. By using gummed'tape, a simple and comparatively inexpensive method is afforded for rigidly retaining the hairs, since when the garment is pressed'in its final stages, the heat of the pressing iron causes the gummed tape'to adhere closely and provides a layer of cement, as it were, under the protective tape and in such position as to unite'the free ends of the hairs more or less into one mass, although other means may be em" oloyed for arranging a layer of cement between the strip of protective fabric and the free edge of the haircloth.

7 designate strips of similar protective fabric or tape which are secured to the pad- I ding wherever the latter iscutvor seamed, that is to say, wherever a cut is 'made through the haircloth and a free edge of the haircloth thereby exposed. The protective fabric or tapeis located over such seam or cut and, aifords a mechanical barrier against the ends of the hairs, and thiscombined with the retaining action of the cement serves effectivelyto maintain the hairs against movementand to prevent them from 1 protruding through the outer cloth'of a garment. 1 '7 In Figures 2 and 4, 8 designates the canvas portion, 9 is the haircloth, and 10 is the cotton padding. In'this instance, the protective fabric 11 is arranged between the cotton padding l0 and the haircloth 9, and is positioned before the cotton padding 10 is attached. Otherwise the method ofattach- 10o ment and functioning of the protective fabric is the same as that-already described, a gummed' tape being preferably employed a and arrangedwith the gummed side against the haircloth so that when heat and pressure are applied to the garment, a cementing ac-' tion. of the ends-ofthe hairs takes place and the protective fabric is caused to adhere as closely-as possible to'the haircloth.

lVith both forms of the invention, the pro- :tective fabric is preferably; secured in place nitially by stitching, this being convenr;rl cs; 1'

ientlydone at @1 5 same arm that :the usual tective fabric may be applied and caused =to unite the hairs in other Ways than that which I have described. a
