COAT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 245,654, dated August 16, 1881.

Application filed June 23, 1881.

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM PEYsER, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Gloucester,in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Coats, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a front elevation of a coat made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan of the two pieces of cloth which form the out side of the coat, showing their shape when out out. Fig. 4 is a plan of the facing which covers the collar, lapels, and inside of the front of the coat; Fig. 5, a detail showing a portion of theback of thecoat withthecollarturnedup.

My invention has for its object to simplify the construction of coats and greatly lessen the number of seams, whereby 1 am enabled to reduce the cost of manufacture,as less work and less cloth are required, while at the same time a much more durable and better fitting garment is produced; and my invention consists in a coat cut in such a manner that asingle piece of cloth will form nearly the entire outside of the garment, a single additional piece only of small size being set in under the neck of the collar, the only seams being one on the under part of each sleeve, one on each of the sides, which also extends to the front, and those necessitated by the setting in of the piece under the collar.

My invention also consists in the combination, with a coat cut as described, of a facing formed of a single piece of cloth without any middle seam at the collar, as will be hereinafter described.

In the said drawings, A, Fig. 3, represents a single piece of cloth, which, when out as shown and folded over and sewed together at certain points, as hereinafter described, forms, with the small piece B, the entire outside of the coat. 7

b is the portion which forms the back of the coat.

0 c are the two sides of the skirt, which are divided at the center by cutting a slit on the line 6 6, the plaits 7, Fig. 2, of the back of the (ModeL) skirt being formed by laying over the cloth, which is full enough at these points to admit of this being done.

61 d are the portions which, when folded to bring their edges together, form the sleeves, the seam e, on the under part of each sleeve, being formed by sewing the edge 8 9 to the edge 10 12, the latter being properly stretched to form the hollow of the front of the sleeve, while the cloth along the edge 8 9 is fulled in to form the elbow, the edges 8 to 13, 14 to 13, and the opposite edges of the cut, 15 to 10, coming under the arm, where they are sewed together.

ff are the portions which form the shoulders, and g g are the portions which form the breast or front of the coat. h h are the parts which form the lapels, and 'i i the part which forms the collar.

In making up the coat the edges of the cloth on the lines 14 17 18, on each sideof the piece A, are sewed to the edges on the lines 19 20 21, the portions 9 g being turned or folded over, so as to bring the point 19 up to the point 14, the point 20 to the point 17, and the point 21 t0 the point 18. The pocket-flap k, if there is to be one, is cut to project beyond the line 20 21. When the several edges of the cloth are fitted and sewed together on the lines above described a small opening is necessarily left at the back of the neck, which is filled by setting in the small piece of cloth B,Fig. 3, which is cut in the form shown, to properly fill this opening, a cut or slit on the curved line 22 23 being made to allow the collar i i and lapels h h'to be turned over and to form the back stand of the collar.

0, Fig. 4, represents the facing, which is composed of a single piece of cloth, cut in the form shown, without a middle scam in the collar, this facing covering, as usual, the collar, lapels, and inside of the front, a notch, 24, be-

ing cut at each end of the collar to separate it from the lapels. The lining of the coat may be composed of a single piece of material, or may be made and applied in the ordinary man ner, if preferred.

A coat cut in accordance with the above-(le scribed plan or system may be made in any desired style, and presents many advantages over coats of the ordinary make, on account of the small number of its seams and its superior fit, while at the same time it is unique and attractive and more durable, as there is less liability of ripping where there are so few seams.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A coat the outside of which is composed of the two pieces of cloth AB, cut in the form shown and sewed together, substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.

2. The single piece A, cut with the portions b, c 0, d d,ff, g g, h h, and i i, and adapted, when folded and sewed together, as described, to form a coat, substantiallyin the manner and for the purpose set forth.

ABRAHAM PEYSER.

In presence of- ARON DIAMANT, SAMUEL MICHAEL.
