SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 464,826, dated December 8, 1891.

Application filed September 2l, 1891. Serial No. 406,343. (No model.)

T0 @ZZ whom, it may'concern:

Beit known that I, ISAAC KUHN, of the city of San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Overalls and Pantaloons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in pantaloons or overalls; and it consists in the novel arrangement and combination of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described, and designated in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a front elevay tion of my complete invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a pair of pantaloons, showing a part of my invention applied thereto; and Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views of tongues which I employ in carrying out my invention.

Referring to the drawings, l indicates a pair of pantaloons which is provided at the sides with openings 2, which are semi-cresoent in outline. Situated along the adjacent edges of said openings are a series of hooks 3, around which a lacing-cord 4 is passed. Secured on the inside of the garment or pantaloons l and in front of openings2 are quadrilateral tongues 5, the same being provided in their approaching ends with a series of eyelets 6, through which a lacing-cord 7 passes. Said lacingcord 7 also passes through the waistband 8 of the pantaloons, asillustrated in Fig. l', and is tied on the outside of said band. It may be noted in this connection that the quadrilateral tongues 5 are stitched to the garment on opposite sides of the same in front of the openings 2 and have only one edge sewed or stitched thereto. The quadrilateral tongues 5 when in use pass around the hips of the wearer. rlhe lacing-cord 4 is adapted to adjust the size of the openings 2, and consequently the'rear portion of the garment, while the lacing-cord 7, which passes through the quadrilateral tongues 5, adjusts the front portion of t-he garment,and at the same time holds the tongues in place and in shape. The quadrilateral tongues 5 are constructed sutIiciently large as to extend backwardly on the inside of the garment and almost to the back Seam 9 of said garment, as illustrated in Fig. l.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim isl. Pantaloons or overalls having openings 2 on the opposite sides thereof, tongues 5, stitched to the garment in front of said openings 2 and adapted to pass around the hips of the wearer, said tongues having eyelets in the adjacent edges thereof, and a lacing 7, passing through said eyelets and through eyelets in the waistband of said garment.

2. As an article of manufacture, pantaloons or overalls having openings 2 formed in the opposite sides thereof, tongues secured in front of said openin gs and passing around the hips of the wearer, a series of hooks 3 at each of the edges of said openings, a lacing-cord 4, adapted to pass around said hooks, eyelets ti in the rear ends of said tongues and similar eyelets in the waistband 8 of the pantaloons, and a lacing-cord 7, adapted to pass through said eyelets for adjusting the rear of the garment.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
