\VILLIAM K. RANDOLPH, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
COMBINED SHIRT AND vssT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,356, dated April 20, 1886.
Application filed August 21. 1885.
To all'whom it may concern.-
Beitknown that I, WILLIAM K. RANDOLPH, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Garments,of which the following is full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accoinpanyi ng drawings, of'which Figure 1' is a front view, part of the vest portion being cut away at x,- and Fig. 2 is a similar view with the bottom flap of the vest portion turned up.
The object of this invention is to provide an improved garment consisting ofa combined shirt and vest or imitation vest adapted to be worn in warm weather, whereby the usual vest is or may be dispensed with, and yet the.
appearance of a vest retained.
The precise nature and construction of the invention will clearly appear from the following description and a reference to the annexed drawings.
A is a shirt, made generally in the usual form and style, with the exception of the front portion thereof, as hereinafter described.
B is the part of the bosom corresponding to that which is visible when the usual vest is worn, and is made of linen.
C is the imitationvest portion, made of pique, marseilles, or other labric suitable for a vest. This is sewed to the body of the shirt in lieu of the ordinary front or bosom, and is stitched to the body of the shirt on the lines a b, c d, ef, and also to the bosom part B on the lines on a, the latter corresponding to the lines of the turned-over portion of the usual vest. The lines ofstitching m n are some distance back from the edge, as shown, so as to form an imitation of the said turned-over or cutaway part of a vest.
d is a row of buttons securing the two sides of the vest part 0, one of which sides overlaps the other. At the bottom is a flap or flaps, g,whieh serve to imitate the lower part of a vest, and at the same time to conceal the ends e of the suspenders S, which pass through Serial No. 174,927. (No model.)
slits or openings h, made in the body of the shirt. 7 The shoulders of the garment are also provided with slits or openingsf. The main straps of the suspenders are passed through these slits f and lie underneath, so as not to be visible, as indicated by the dotted lines, the end straps, 0, being passed through the slits h, respectively, and buttoned to the trowsers (not shown) in the usual manner. The rear part of the suspenders is passed back over the garment, and is buttoned to the buttons on the rear of the browsers in the usual manner.
Back-straps D and buck|essuch as are usually provided for tightening the ordinary vestmay be employed in a similar manner and for a like purpose in connection with my improved garment, for adjusting the imitationvest portion to the body.
It will thus be seen that I provide a garment which, although really only a shirt, presents, when the coat is worn, the appearance of a shirt with a vest worn over the same.
It will be understood that the vest portion is ot' washable material, so that the entire garment may be laundered as an ordinary shirt. It is also obviously cheaper and cooler than a shirt with a separate vest.
Having thus described my lllVCllt-iOlLI claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with the 'ordinary shirtbody, A, having slits f and It at the shoulders and waist thereof, respectively, ol' the bosom B, the imitation vestfront 0, of washable material, sewed to said body on the lines a l), c d, and cf, and to said bosom on lines in a. similar to theturned-over or cut-away portion of an ordinary vest, the bottom flaps, 9, covering and concealing the slits h. and. the adjusting buckle-straps D, all substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature this 11th day of August, A. D. 1885.
WILLIAM K. RANDOLPH.
