SPECIFICATION vforming part of Letters Patent No. 365,480, dated June 28,1881

Application l'iled Augustl, 1886. Serial No. 21l,396. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Beit known that l, ROBERT E. LOWE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Suspender Blouse Waist and Jacket, of which the followingisa specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a jacket or blouse in combination with suspenders for supporting pantaloons or other garments.

Heretofore blouse-waists,especially those intended for children, have been made with buttons around the waistband, so that the waistband ofthe pantaloons or other garment could be bnttoned thereto and the lower garment ysupported by the upper.

arrangement is, that the set of the blouse is injured.I It is pulled down straight and loses its character, the fullness or blouse effect being entirely destroyed. I avoidthis objection by the use of suspender-straps combined with the waist or blouse in the manner shown,and hereinafter described, and in this my invention consists.

In the-drawings, Figure lis a Vfront view showing the outside and a portion ofthe inside of my improved combined' blouse waist and Suspenders. Fig.r2 is a back view of the outside of the said garment.

Similar letters refer to similar Lparts.

A represents the body of the blouse; G, the waistband; B B, Suspenders; O, loops or straps formedon the inside Vof the garment at the shoulders to retain the suspender-straps in position; D, buckleor other device' for adjusting the length of the Suspenders.

The objection to this A material as the body of the garment, so as to wash equally well, and the'abscnce of buttons also greatly facilitates the washingof the garment. i

The invention can be adapted to garments Worn by grown persons, as well as by children, of both sexes.

Having lnow fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by M `Letters Patent, is

A blouse-waist provided with a waistband and having rie-enforced button-holes, in combi.

nation with suspenderstraps provided with buttons at the ends and passing under small loops attached to the inside of the blouse at or near the shoulders, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 17th dayof August,

E., E. LOWE.-
