This invention relates to wearing apparel, more particularly to shirts for outer wear and has for its obj eet to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a shirt of the class referred to having the front of its body constructed in a manner to provide with respect to the form of shirts now generally worn for increased ventilation for the wearer.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a shirt of the class referred to having its body formed with a vent of a lengthto increase the ventilation for and to enable it to be quickly positioned on the wearer.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth a shirt of the class referred to having its front formed with an elongated ventopening provided by a pair of new and novel opposed strips, one constituting a button carrying strip and the other a button-hole strip.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth a shirt of the class referred to having as a part of its front a reinforced button carrying strip.

Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a shirt for outer wear which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, compact, thoroughly efficient for the purpose intended, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

NVith the foregoing and other objects in View the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is a front elevation, with the sleeves broken away, of a shirt for outerwear in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a section on line 22 Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary view in elevation illustrating the lower end of one of the sides of the body portion of the shirt.

The shirt includes a body portion referred to generally at 1, having its front provided with a vent opening of a length substantially equal to two-thirds of the length thereof and further having its back closed. The length of the body portion is such that the lower end of the vent opening will be positioned at a substantial distance below the waist line of the wearer of the shirt.

The shirt is illustrated by way of erample as the collar attached type, the collar being indicated at 2. The shirt sleeves are designated at 3. The front of the body portion 1 is provided with a pair of pockets a capable of having the mouth ends thereof detachably closed by the conventional means, as indicated at 5.

The body portion 1 is formed of a closed back section 6 and a slitted front section 7. The edges of the slit formed in section 7 are indicated at 8, 9 Figure 2.

The sections 6, 7 are of corresponding out line and with the upper portion of each side edge incurved to provide, when the sections are connected together in a manner to be presently referred to, a pair of arm-holes through which extend the sleeves 3.

The sections 6, 7 are connected together for a portion of the length of each side by a pair of rows of stitching 9, 10. At the lower end of that part of the connected portion of each side of the body portion 1, a gusset 11 is secured to said sections within the body portion. See Figures 1 and 3. Rows of stitching 12 are provided for securing the sleeves 3 at the arm-holes of the body portion. Rows of stitching 13 are employed for connecting the top of the sections together from the sides of J the neck 14 to the upper ends of the arm-holes. The sections 6, 7 below the gussets 11 are dis connected from each other. The sections 6, 7 are hemmed as indicated at 15.

Secured to the section 7 is a pair of oppo- The strip 18 is folded to provide throughout a central overlap 2O lengthwise thereof. The strip 18 is positioned against the inner face of section 7 and projects laterally with respect to edge 8. The strip 19 is arranged against the outer face of section 7 and projects laterally with respect to edge 8.

The strips 18, 19 are secured together and to the section 7 by a row of stitching 21. The strips 18, 19 are secured together exteriorly of edge 8, by a row of stitching 22. The overlap 20 in connection with strip 19 provides for four thicknesses of fabric through which extends the thread for securing a button 23 against the outer face of strip 19. Five buttons 23 are employed and they are arranged equi-distant apart.

The extension 17 is what is termed a button-hole member and is of greater width than the button carrying member. The extension 17 is formed of two narrow, independent, opposed strips of fabric 24, 25 of the desired length and width, the former being positioned against the inner face of section 7 and extended from the edge 9. The strip 25 is positioned against the outer face of section 7 and it projects from edge 9 The strips 2 1, 25 are secured together and to section 7 by a row of stitching 26. The strips 24;, 25 are secured together exteriorly of edge 9 by a row of stitching 27. The strips 24, 25 are formed with lengthwise extending, registering, spaced button-holes 28 for coacting with the buttons 23 for detachably connecting the button carrying member to the button-hole member to provide the elongated vent 29.

The lower ends of the button carrying member and the button-hole member are secured together and to section 7 by the stitching 30.

The length of the slit in connection with extensions 16, 17 provides for increased ventilation and enables the shirt to be quickly positioned on the wearer. The gusset reduces the splitting from the lower ends of the sides of the shirt body to a minimum. The overlap 20 provides an anchorage of increased thickness for the securing means for the buttons. It is thought that the many advantages of a shirt for outer wear in accordance with this invention can be readily understood but althongh'the preferred embodiment of the invent on is as illustrated and described, yet it is to beunderstmd that changes-in the details of construction can be had which fall of said extensions formed of an inner and an outer independent, opposed strip secured together, the inner strip of said. inner extension formed with a lengthwise extending overlap opposing the inner face of said body portion to provide an anchorage of increased thickness for the securing means of a set of buttons to be positioned against the outer strip of such extension, and the other of said extensions having a set of button-holes for the passage of the buttons.

2. A shirt including a body portion having its front formed with a slit of a length substantially equal to two-thirds of the body portion, inner and outer oppositely extending, opposed, lateral extensions overlapping and secured to the body portion, projecting from the edges of the slit and forming lateral ccntinuations of said body portion and in connection with the slit providing a vent, each of said extensions formed of an inner and an outer independent, opposed strip secured together, the inner strip of said inner extension formed with a lengthwise extending overlap opposing the inner face of said body portion to provide an anchorage of increased thickness for the securing means of a set of buttons to be positioned against the outer strip of such extension, and the other of said extensions having a set of button-holes for the passage of the buttons, said outer extension being of greater width than said inner extension.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature hereto.

MONTFORD M. MOORE.
