SHlRT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 3415MB, dated June 29,1886.

Application filed February 10, 1886. Serial No. 191,450. (No model.)

To'aZZ whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, J ULIUs SonLEsINeER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Shirt, of which the following is a full, clear. and exact description.

My invention is an improvement in the class of shirts having detachable bosoms. My improved shirt has an open bosom-space, save its upper portion,whieh is closed by a permanent strip or cross-piece, and the bosom is socured so as to cover this space and also con eeal said cross-piece, as hereinafter described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a view of my improved shirtbody arranged to receive a detachable bosom. Fig. 2 is a view of the underside of the bosom; and Fig. 3 illustrates certain details of construction, the view being taken on line as a; of Fig. 2.

Referring now to the general construction illustrated in the drawings, A is a shirt body, which, instead of having a permanent bosom, as in the common form of shirt, is formed with an open space, B, the edges of which are reenforeed by strips a a. Across the edge of the opening and just below the collar-band, however, there is arranged a central bracingpieec, 0, designed to give stability to the shirt. A number of buttons, i i i, are sewed to the reenforcing strips a.

Fig. 2 illustrates a detachable bosom of or di nary construction having re-enforcing strips 0 c, in which button-holes b b are formed, said button holes being placed to register with the buttonsz' i, that are secured to the body of the shirt.

\Vhen the bosom is applied to the shirt, it covers the space B,and also conceals the brace O, as will be readily understood.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv As a new article of manufacture, the shirt proper, A, having the open bosom-space B, the re-enforcing strips a a, extending around the latter and having buttons 1', and the transverse bracing-strip 0, extending across below the neckband and permanently attached to the body of the shirt, all as shown and described.

JULIUS SGHLESINGER.
