CQAT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,070, dated August 28, 1883,

Application filed October 20, 1882.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NELsoN I. SANDLING, of the city of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coats, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my said invention is to produce a coat which can be made from less material, quicker, and with less labor than ordinary coats. This object is accomplished by cutting the main portions of the body in equal halves, which meet and are stitched together at the back, on the shoulders, and preferably partly around the collar, as will be hereinafter more particularly set forth. The coat so produced is intended for the cheaper class of trade, or for working coats or frocks.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof, and on which similar letters of reference indicate similar parts, Figure 1 is a plan of the preferred form of the patterns for cutting my improved coatbody, including the facings; and Fig. 2, an alternate form. The sleevepatterns, being of the ordinary form, are not shown.

In said drawings, the portions of which the coat-body is composed are marked withthe letter A, those constituting the collar with the letter B, and the facings with the letter 0.

As will be seen by an examination of said.

drawings, the collar is out with the body, and therefore does not have to be stitched. onto said body, which is one of the parts of the work that takes the most time in the manufacture of ordinary cheap coats. The collar may be out all on the front side of the shoulder-seam, as shown in Fig. 1, or on both sides of said seam, as shown in Fig. 2. I prefer the former, for the reason that the collar is then only divided in one place at the back, as in ordinary coats, while in the latter the collar is divided in three places, but does not have to be sewed to the body at any point.

In sewing the coat together the seam up the back is sewed up, bringing the edges as a to- (No model.)

gether. The seams along the shoulders are then sewed, bringing the edges a to together. The edges 2) a are then brought together and sewed, if the construction is that shown in Fig. 1, and the back seam isthen continued through the collar by-bringing the edges I) I) together, completing the body of the garment. The

faoings O O are then sewed on, the sleeves (not shown) inserted, lining added, if desired, and the garment is complete. In all of the drawings of the main pieces dotted lines show the proper places for the collar portion to fold over.

In Fig. 2 the construction is varied somewhat, and the garment is broughtinto form by bringing the edges marked .with the come spending letters of reference together, as be fore.

As will be seen, the cutting of the garment in so few pieces not only saves considerable labor in the diminution of the number of seams to be sewed, but also saves a considerableportion of the material from which thegarment is cut, as each seam usually takes an inch or more in width of the goods.

I am aware that coats have heretofore been produced from one and two pieces, and I there fore do not claim the same, broadly; but,

Having thus fully described my said inven tion, whatI do claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is*

A coat-body and collar together, composed of two equal portions cut from the pattern shown, and. completed by joining the several edges a a, (of a, b a, b a, and b I), substantially as described, and for the purposes speci- I NnLsoN r. SANDLING. [L s.]
