1 Claim.

The present invention relates to a garment and more particularly to a garment of the class generally referred to as overalls.

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an adjustable, inexpensive unitary garment of the glass described which by virtue of its novel construction may be put on and removed from the wearer with facility and without annoyance.

The present invention contemplates the provision, in an over-garment of this character, of an upper or waist covering portion in which there is provided a substantially open back and means by which the garment may be first adjusted to the size of the wearer and be subsequently put on and removed through the medium of a novelly arranged slide fastener provided in the front portion of the waist of the garment.

In the accompanying drawings, forminga part of this application and in which like numerals are employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the same,

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the overgarment,

Figure 2 is a side elevational view thereof,

Figure 3 is a rear elevational view, and

Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective View.

In the accompanying drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration there is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention, the reference numeral 6 generally designates the leg portion of the over-garment. At substantially the Knee area of each leg of the garment, there is secured thereto by means of stitching a rein- 35 forcing patch or covering 8. As clearly illustrated in Figures 2 and 4, hip pockets I2 and I4 are secured to the rear portion of the garment, and adjacent the inner side of the right hip pocket there is provided a loop l6 for the reception of 40 a tool such as a pair of pliers or the like, or in fact, any tool commonly used by a workman.

Adjacent the lower corner of the right hand hip pocket and on the right leg there is secured a longitudinally disposed pocket I8 adapted to carry a ruler or the like.

On each side, at the lower portion of the garment, as clearly illustrated in Figures 2 and 4, there are provided downwardly extending openings 20 at each side, adapted to be closed when in use by suitable buttons 22 and associated button holes 24. The front portion of the overalls are provided with pockets 26 on each side thereof.

To the-leg portion of the over-garment which terminates substantially at the waist of the wearer, there is secured the upper or waist portion 32. As illustrated the bottom of the waist portion overlaps the trousers portion at the waist line thereof and is securely stitched thereto by the

spaced stitches

34 and 36.

The waist portion of the garment is provided with an upper centrally disposed opening 38 through which thehead is inserted, and which is adapted to encircle the neck and shoulders of the wearer. In the usual manner of waist portion construction, the waist 32 is openat the front, and is provided with a slide fastener closure means 42 the upper portion of the fastener 42 terminating at the apex of the V-shaped opening 38 and the lower portion firmly secured together by means of the combination button and fiap 44. On each side of the front of the waist portion there are stitched

patch pockets

23 and 25.

The rear portion of the waist extends over the shoulder for a portion of the length of the back and to the free end thereof, as shown in Figure 4, there is secured a pair of spaced straps 50 of elastic material on the ends of which there is provided fastening elements 52 which are secured to the extended portion 54 of the trousers of the garment by means of the spaced buttons 56. The shoulders of the waist portion are overlapped and stitched as at 5B, the stitches of which may be removed if so desired to accommodate the garment to persons of different sizes.

It will thus be seen that there is provided a unitary garment, which is easily adjusted to persons of different sizes, and which may be put on and removed by a simple operation of the zipper slide.

While there is shown for the purpose of illustration a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be specifically understood that it is capable of various changes and modifications, without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, and it is intended therefore that only such limitations shall be imposed thereon as are indicated in the prior art or in the appended claim.

What is claimed is:-

In a sleeveless overall, the combination with a trousers portion having a waist line opening adjacent each side thereof and provided with pockets, means for securing the free edges of the waist line defined by the opening together, of a waist portion adapted to extend over the shoulders and being secured to the front of the trousers portion and having a portion thereof overhanging said trousers portion, the opening of said pockets, and the securing means securfined by the slit for securing said sections together, an upstanding back section secured to the rear of the trousers portion terminating short of the rear end of the waist portion and spaced resilient straps connecting the free end 5 portion of the waist and back section.
