SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,596, dated August 29, 1882.

vApplication filed April 24,1882. (No model.)

To ttl whom it may concern Be it known that I,FREDER1GK SOHRADER, of Elmhurst, in the county of Du Page and State ot' Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shirts; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specitication. v

'lhis invention relates to shirts having eyelets in front that are laced by a cord, and an openingat one side ofthe front that is arranged to be secured by buttoningl in a manner that such shirt can be put on or taken off without disturbing the lacingcord; and the improvement consists of a shirt the entire front of which is cut to be continuous with the body fabric,and which l'ront is re-enforced by back-linings and connected so as to form a double front that is provided with a lacingcordA and with the opening at one side of the front that is arranged for buttoning, all as more fully described and specically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents an elevation ot' a shirt having my improvements; Fig. 2, a sectional elevation of a portion of the shirt, showing how the several linings are connected to the shirt-front.

Figs. 3 and 5 represent the patterns for the.

back-linings that are secured under the eyelet-laps ot' the shirt-front. Fig. I represents the pattern for the lining that is secured behind the eyelet-ilaps, and one edge of which is to form the button-hole fly; andFig. 6 represents the pattern for the strip of fabric stitched to the shirt-body at the edge of the slit for securing the buttons.

Like letters designate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Adenotes the body of the shirt, which in front is cut with a central slit, a, so as to provide two tlaps, B and G, and a side slit,b, that disconnects the tlap B from the shirt-body. Each iiap B and C, I line with a piece, D and E, the shapes of which are shown by Figs. 3 and 5, and behind these flaps B and C and linings D and E, I attach a piece, F, in a manner that the edges of such piece F are secured by thesame seams which secure the edges of linings lD and E, and that the doubled-up edge ot piece F, next to slit I), will form y c, and is provided with button-holes d. The adjoining edges of tlaps B and C, with their linings D and E, composed otl separate strips of material, have each a row ot' eyelet-holes for Stringing a laciug-cord,f,from the bottom end of the slit upward in the usual manner, the ends of which cord in this case are permanently tied in a bow-knot at or near the collarband.

Astrip, G, as per pattern shown in Fig. 6, is secured by stitching to the body ot the shirt at the edge ot' slit b, so as to form a flap that will lap under the edge ofthe shirt-front, and this flap G- has secured a series of buttons, h, one for each button-hole d in fiy c.

The collar H is ot' the usual pattern, and is Secured to the shirt-body in the usual manner. Ornamental stitching, as per dotted lines, may be applied.

The advantages gained by the above-described arrangement are that for putting the shirt upon the person or for taking it oft' the buttons need only be buttoned or unbuttoned, while the lacing-cord is leftintact; that a fancy shirt can be made with these practical improvements in the most economical manner, and that bythe threefold fabric in the front 'the chest will be kept warm and well protected.

I am aware that it is not broadly new to construct a shirt with a bosom made integral with the body of the shirt, and such I do not claim.

What I claim isl. In a shirt, substantially as described,the centrally-slitted and laced front being a continuation ot' the body fabric, in combination with the side slit arranged with a lappingstrip which will lap under the shirt-front, and to which buttons are attached, and a buttonhole tly formed by doubling the edge of the lining F, which is then stitched to the edge of the Hap B, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a shirt, substantially as described, the body fabric A, forming the front, and having slits a and b, in combination With the liningstrips D E and aps B and C, that have eyeiet-holes for lacing-cord f, strip F, and a, button-hole y, a, and with lapping-strip Gr, secured to the edge of body A, having buttons h, the whole being constructed and arranged as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I ax my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FREDERICK SCHRADER.
