SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 675,160, dated May 28, 1901.

Application filed March 5, 1901. Serial No. 49,672. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY J. KLAYE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coats; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention has for its especial object to relieve body-linings of canvas coats from strain and wear that ordinarily come thereon at the armholes and at the same time to provide for greater freedom of arm movement on the part of those wearing the garments, said invention consisting in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts hereinafter particularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

Figure 1 of the drawings represents an elevation of the inside of a portion of a bodylined coat made to embody my improvements; and Fig. 2 a detail sectional View, indicated by line 2 2 in the first figure.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A indicates a coat-body, and B the lining of the same, this lining in canvas coats being generally cotton-plush. Ordinarily the lining is sewed to the coat-body at the armholes, where it is subjected to the greatest amount of strain and wear. To prevent wear on the lining, ordinary armpit-shields of various materials have been sewed in canvas coats after stitching of the linings to the bodies and the insertion of the sleeves; but this construction does not obviate strain on said linings due to arm movement on the part of those wearing the garments.

To attain the object of my invention, the

lining B is left free from the coat-body at the armholes; but a facing C of canvas or other strong and durable material is stitched at one edge to said lining and at the other edge to the seam by which a sleeve D is joined to said coat-body. The facing is made to encircle the adjacent armhole and is preferably extended in a vertical direction to form a shield under an arm of the wearer of the coat.

From the foregoing it will be understood that the facing 0 takes Wear that would other wise come upon the lining B, and strain of the sleeves is altogether upon the body of the coat, while at the same time there is greater freedom of arm movement on the part of the wearer of said coat than is possible when said lining is of itself stitched to the coat-body at an armhole and caught in the sleeve-seam, as is ordinarily the case, especially in the manufacture of canvas coats.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A coat made to have its body and a lining of same left free from each other adjacent to each armhole of the garment, and a facing of material stronger and more durable than that of the lining stitched at one edge to said lining free of the body and at the other edge to a seam uniting said body and a sleeve of said garment.

In testimony'that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wiscousin, in the presence of two witnesses.
