From the above description it will be seen that the appearance of patch pockets can be attained without the use of additional cloth. Wh re large numbers of garments are manufactured, as for example Army and Navy runiforms, the saving in material becomes very substantial.

The fact that a garment can be made so as to have the appearance of having patch pockets and that it can be readily altered so as to'remove this effect is of great importance to the garment trade i as a retailer can then furnish the garment in either style without having to carry an additional stock.

Having described the invention what is claimed as new is:

1. A garment having, anelongated opening forming the entrance to a pocket, in which the l material on one side of theopening is formed into a Z-shaped fold extending between the ends of the opening, the area enclosed between the fold and the opening being of the size and shape of an ordinary patch pocket patch, the three layers of the fold being connected by stitches the outer surfa'ce of the material enclosed between the opening and the fold being displaced outwardly by the fold at least twice its thickness whereby the appearance of a patch pocket" is obtained withoutthe use of any additional material.

a 2." An imitation patch pocket for garments comprising a substantially U"-shaped seam formed by folding portions of the. material outwardly upon -itself to represent the sides and bottom of a 'jggpocket, the area of the material defined by the ,seam being offset from the surface of the remainder-of the material outwardly with respect thereto, said seam including triple layers of material and comprising an inner layer, an intermediate layer and an outer layer, and stitching at least two of said layers.
