Figs. 3 and 4) into a position directly behind the marginal portion of front 2 as shown in Fig. 5. Then, before making the fold 4, two comparatively narrow elongated strips of fabric 5 and I (Fig. 4) each of which is made with at least one straight edge, are disposed flatwise upon the outer side of facing flap 3 with their straight edges registering with the slit 5 and are fastened to flap 3 in these positions by lines of stitches 8 and 9 (Figs. 4 and 6) which are parallel with and closelyadjacent to slit 5. The lengths of these lines of stitches do not exceed the length of the slit.

After securing the strips 6 and l to the facing flap 3 as described the longitudinal unattached portions of both strips 6 and l are passed through the slit 5 into positions upon the opposite side of flap 3 where strip 6 is fitted against fiap 3 to permit punching longitudinal rows of registering buttonholes l and H (Fig. through flap 3 and strip 6, respectively.

Short lateral slits l2, l2 (Fig. 3) are made in flap 3 at the opposite ends of slit 5 which permit the formation of a hem (Fig. 5) along the marginal portion of flap 3 which borders the inner side of slit 5, said side having been previously fastened to strip 6 by stitches 8 (Fig. 4). Slits l2, l2, also permit the marginal portion of facing 3 that borders the opposite side of slit 5 to be formed with a hem [5 (Fig. 5), said strip having been previously fastened to the marginal portion of strip I by the stitches 9: (Figs. 4 and 5) Both

strips

6 and 1, including the opposite end portions thereof that are beyond the slits l2 are tucked through the now widened slit 5 into positions alongside of each other and have their innermost marginal portions fastened together and to the fabric 2 of front section I by a line of stitches l6 (Figs. 1, 2 and 5).

The hemmed marginal portion of strip 1 adjacent to the outer free edge of the structure may also be fastened to the outer fabric 2 of front section I by a line of stitches 13 which extends from the top to the bottom of the coat section as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5.

In tucking the strip 6 through the widened slit 5 as above described it is formed into piping as shown at M which borders and is fastened by stitches 8 to hem 20 of facing 3. Piping I4 is not wider than the widened slit 5 so that the end portions of the piping can and do extend through the slits I2 to the opposite inner side of the facin where they are fitted fiatwise between facin 3 and outside fabric 2.

After the end portions of strips 6 and I have been thus disposed between facing 3 and outside fabric 2 the oppositely disposed proximate marginal portions thereof may be trimmed by any experienced tailor as may be required to avoid overlapping and wrinkling thereof.

Thus the raw edges of facing fla 3 at slit 5 and at the ends of the pipings are completely inclosed and hidden from view.

The inner marginal portions of the two

strips

6 and 1 are fastened together and to the front fabric 2 by the line of through-and-through stitches l6 (Figs. 1 and 5) which also closes together the lower ends of the strips thereby forming a pocket which is accessible to the fingers through the finger entrance provided between the piping l4 and stitches 9 when the section I of the coat is to be buttoned to, or unbuttoned from, the other front section (not shown) of the coat.

4 The usual lining of the coat shown at ll n g- 4 5 may be fastened by a line of stitches I8 to the inner marginal portion of flap 3.

Figure 7 of the drawings is a sectional view of the marginal portion of a two-piece front for a coat constructed in accordance with this invention and corresponds with a section on line 55 of Fig. 2 but as taken through the marginal portion of the front section of a two-piece front. In this case the facing strip 3 is an originally separate unit or element whose outer marginal portion is fastened to the marginal portion of the front section 2 by a line of blind or hidden stitches If: as usual. Also, in this case the body portion of strip I is folded upon itself at the line of stitches 9 and passed through the slit 5 where said body portion is fitted against the front section 2 and fastened to the latter by the line of stitches l3 corresponding with the line of stitches l3 of Fig. 5.

In both forms of the invention herein shown the facing flap 3 serves as a lining for the marginal portion of the front section 2 and is, in effect, an extension of the lining l1.

What I claim is:

l. A garment of the class described comprising an outer front section having a straight vertical marginal border; a facing fabric fixed in position inside of the marginal portion of said front section adjoining said border and extending from the top to the bottom thereof, said facing fabric providing a straight slit that is parallel with said border and also closed at its opposite ends; two relatively narrow elongated pocket-lining strips of fabric having straight side edges Whose adjacent marginal portions are seated upon the marginal portions of the exterior of said facing fabric bordering the opposite sides of said slit with the straight side edges thereof in close proximity to and parallel with said slit; stitches fastening said side marginal portions of said strips in positions upon the exterior of said facing fabric, said strips extending from said stitches into positions between the facing fabric and said outer front section; stitches by which the innermost side marginal portions of said strips are fastened together and to said front section to form a pocket into which the fingers of a hand may be entered through said slit, and registering buttonholes formed through said facing fabric and the proximate strip.

2. A garment of the class described constructed in accordance with claim 1 wherein said facing fabric is an integral retrorsely folded extension of said outer front section that is formed with said slit.

3. A garment of the class described constructed in accordance with claim 1 wherein said facing fabric is an integral retrorsely infolded extension of said outer front section that is formed with said slit, and wherein said slit is spaced inwardly away from the junction of said extension with said outer section.

4. A garment of the class described constructed in accordance with claim 1 wherein the vertical marginal portion of said outer front section is fastened to the proximate marginal portion of said facing fabric by a straight vertical line of stitches some of which are coincidentally alineo with said slit and fasten one of said lining strips to said outer front section immediately adjacent to the outermost side of said slit.

5. A garment of the class described constructed .in accordance with claim 1 wherein the pocket lining strip that is adjacent to said facing is formed immediately adjacent to the stitches by which it is fastened to said facing fabric with piping by which its proximate edge and the edge of the facing fabric at said slit are hidden from view.

6. A coat of the class described provided with a front section having upon its interior a facing fabric bordering the marginal portion thereof, said coat being characterized in that said facing fabric is made with a longitudinal slit that is approximately parallel with the border of said marginal portion; two pocket-lining strips of fabric having straight marginal portions seated upon the exterior of said facing fabric alongside of and parallel with said slit; stitches fastening 6 said marginal portions to said facing fabric, said pocket-lining strips extending from said stitches through said slit into positions immediately in front of said facing fabric, and registering buttonholes formed in said facing fabric and the proximate lining strip.
