COMBINATION GA MENr l ApplicationfiledDecember 1.1,19262 searnogi mns z Thisinvention relates to combination garments and aims to providea single garment adapted to replace a complete suit of'under wear and an outer shirt. l

It hasheretofore been proposed to provide a combination garment by extending the lower portion of an outer shirt to form a pair ofrdrawers. Such garments have, however,

' proved inconvenient because they cannot be pair of drawers.

in Figs. land 2 spread out flat modified garment shown in Fig. 8.

provided with a safely concealed rear opening. Furthermore, such a garment doesnot replace a suit of underwear but requires the j use wlth 1t of an undershirt.

My inventioneliminat'es these disadvantages by providingla combination garment of which at least the back portion consists of two layers of fabric. ;The under layer is provided with a rear opening of the form customarily used in union suits, while the outer layer providesa depending flap or shirt tail which effectively conceals the rear open ing without rendering it inaccessible. In the form which I regard 'as mostdesirable, the upper portion of the new garmentboth front and back-is made of ajdouble-layer,

of fabric sojthat the garment may replace an under-shirt as well as an outer'shirt a v Inorder that the invention clearly be understood, I will describe the specific combinationgarments embodying it which are illustrated inthe accompanying drawings in i. which Fig. 1 is a front view of the preferred form of garment with part of the outer layer 7 broken away; i i p 1 Fig. 2is a backview showing the outer flap orshirttail raisedjto expose the rear opening in the under layer; j r

While the front of the garment 11 l i if may be made of a single layer of fabric as two layers of fabric 20 20 l The. under layer20 is similar to the front of a'sleevefless under-shirt and 'may, if desired, be

formed integralwith the front 21 of the drawers. The outer layer 20 terminates just above the crotch of the garment,and is se also stitched to the under layer along the "cured to the under layer at its upper,lower, 3 andside edges by .stitching 28, 24, 17. It is edges of the opening 22. The outer layer is most desirably made of a difl'erentmate' rial from the under vlayer, and is provided with sleeves 25. 1 r v i The garment is put on by unbuttoning the dinary outer. shirt. The garmentmay properly be worn without a coat, since, even when the wearer bends forward, drawing the rear portion of the garment upwardly, the ,opening 14 is effectively concealed by the shirt tail 19.. When access to the rear opening 14 is desired, it may easily be had bymerely jrais ing the shirt tail 1 9 as shown in Fig; 2.

When the garment is made in the preferred form illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5, it provides a complete suit of underwear as well opening 22 and stepping into it. When worn, i the portion of the garment visible above the belt line presents the appearance of anor t as an outer shirt, the whole being put on and taken off in one operation. The form shown in Figs. 3 and 6 is not as warm as the pre ferred form, since a double layer is not provided in front, and, for that reason, it makes a desirable garment for replacing underwear and an outer shirt in hot weather.

What I claim is:

1. A combination garment having a-front portion providing a shirt front and the front of a pair of drawers, and a rear portion consisting of two layers of which the inner provides a shirt back and the back of a pair of drawers, and the outer provides a shirt back and a depending shirt tail which is free from the under layer.

2. A combination garment consisting of shirt and drawers andcontaining in its front a vertical slit extending downwardly from the upper edge of the shirt and in its rear an independent Vertical slit'in the drawers, a releasably secured flap for closing the vertical slit in the drawers, and an independent depending flap concealing the upper portion of said slit and its closure flap. V

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set In hand.
