Application filed Angust30.1882. (No model.)

' theiuvention consistsin re-enforcingthe sleeves partial perspective view of one of the sleeves j ready to set in the body of the shirt; and Fig.

3 is a sectional plan view of a part of the body and sleeve, taken on the line 00 a: of Fig. 1. The body A, bosom B, neckband C, and the yokes D D of the shirt may be of any approved pattern. The sleevesE E areof ordinary form, except that lheyare provided with the re-enforcing strips h F at the shoulders. These re-enlorcing strips are plain strips of cloth,

which are stitched at their lower edges to the sleeves E E by the rows of stitching a a. before the main scams 1) b of the sleeves are formed. The sleeves are then stitched in the armholes of the body A by the rows of stitchingc c, which pass over the outer ends of the yokes D D, as shown in Fig. 1, the edges of the sleeves E and strips F, and the edges of the material of the body and yokes at the arm-,

holes being folded under, as shown at d d, Fig. 3. This being done and the scams 0 0 formed, the main scams 1) b of the sleeves are formed, which extend from the wristband the whole length of the sleeves, taking in the ends of the re-enforciug strips F F, and extending down the sides of the shirt-body, as shown at b b, Fig. 1. Constructed in this manner, it will be seen that the yokes D D are strengthened at the armholes, that the sleeves are strengthenedand made more durable at the shoulders and also under the arms, and that the additional thickness of material under the arms serves at the same timeto absorb theperspiration, and thus render the shirt more comfortable to the wearer.

Having thus described our invention, what we clai m as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isr In a shirt, the combination, with the yoke.

D, of the body A, cloth strip F, and sleeve E,

having the continuous seam b I), the strip F bei-ngconncctcd with sleeve by two rows of stitching, a a, and with the body by two rows of stitching, .c c, passing over the outer end of yoke, as shown and described, whereby the shirt is made stronger under the arm and on the shoulder, as specified.
