COMBINATION-GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

, Patented Jan. 5, 1909.,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. QUIGLEY, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of' to put on or take off and can be made either with drawers attached.

The invention consists of a combination as underwear or as a neglige or dress shirt garment comprising a jacket or shirt and trousers or drawers suitably united and open from the neck to the knee in front while the back of the drawers is cut on an angle from the crotch to'the hips on each side and closed bly means of an apron secured to the jacket or s irt.

In the accompanying drawings; Figure 1 is a front view of an undergarment, the egs be ing broken away showing one form of my invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of a dress shirt with drawers attached, of another form of my invention. Fig. 3 is a back view of Fig. 2 showing my improved back. Fi 4 is a ront view of an 'undergarment wit the legs in a horizontal position.

Referring to the drawings: In Fig. 1, 1 designates the body of an undergarment or union suit to which is secured the drawers 2,

.the same being made of any suitable mate- 'rial. Instead of the undergarment being open in front on a straight line from the neck to the crotch, the same is preferably out for a portion of the way down the front 'asfat 3 and then the same is cut on a diagonal line 4 to the side of the leg, from which the same is cut on a strai ht line 5 to about the knee. The opening t us formed is closed by means of suitable buttons 6, and when the same is unbuttoned will permit of the wearer getting in or out of the garment with very little diili culty, as a very large opening is provided inthis manner which is very easily buttoned and in no way interferes with the comfort of the wearer. If desired the undergarment shown in Fig. 1 may be provided with knee length drawers although the same is shown In Fig. 2, 9 designates the body of a dress shirt t A which is secured the knee length drawe g 10', the same being made of any suitablelm 'terial. Instead of the garment being open front o n a? straight line from the'neck to the crotch, the sam'eis preferably cut on a straight line 11 to a point 12 above the crotch and then the same is cut at a slight angle down the side of the leg as shown at 13, it being important that the line of the opening 13 should be above one of the inner seams 14 so that when the opening 13 is buttoned the seam will be out of the way and will not chafe the other leg in walking. The seams 14 of both legs terminate at the crotch and join the crotch seam 15 as shown more clearly in Fig. 4 which shows an undergarment cut down the front in the same manner as that shown legnwhere it is out of the way and in no way i W1 it interfere with the wearers movements.

In Fi 3 isshown the rear of a shirt 20, the front 0 which may be made similar to the shirt shown in Fig. 2, and the same is provided with drawers 21 provided with my improved back which consists in cutting the ack portion of the drawers 21 of the garment from the hips to the crotch upon the diagonal lines 22, which are fpreferably slig tly curved as shown in the e, and sewedat their upper ends to the hips. of the shirt as shown at 23, and at their lower ends terminating at the crotch seam 15 as shown in Fig. 4. The openin formed in the back of the drawers is closed y means of an apron 23 which is preferably laced inside the drawers as shown in the gure, although if desired the-same ma be placed outside.

It is of course to e understoodthat my improved back may be used either upon underwear as shown in Fig. l, or upon a combination shirt and drawers as shown in Fig. 2, or upon any other garment to which it may be found applicable. It is also to be understood that the front opening as shown in Fig. 1 may be used upon a combination shirt and drawers or the front-opening as shown in Fig. 2 may be used upon anjundergarment as shown in Fig. 4, without de artmg from the spirit of my invention as u on any garment, either yvith or without t e back shown in Fig; 4'.

While the inventionhas been described; "Withjparticular reference to the details of construction, it should be understood that itis not to be limited thereto, as many changes may be made therein and still fall withinthe scrape of my invention.
