To all tl'lmm it may concern:

lie it known that l (iroaoa W. DAVIS a citizen of the United btates, residing at C ticago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Coats, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The invention has for its objects the production of a seamless coat, that is, a coat .linin mt tern wherein the body portion is without longitudinal seams; and the particular ob'ect of my invention is to roduee a seamess or one-piece overcoat with a tlaring skirt, such coat being commonly known as a box coat Another object. of m invention is to provide a one-piece coat iniug so cut and applied as to utilize the maximum strength of the'liniug material. p

It has ieretofore been deemed impouible to construct a one-piece or seamless overcoat ot the box style because the cloth is not as wide as the width of the skirt, and therefore it has been the invariable practice, so far as I am aware, to lay out the garment by cutting one rttou, say one-ha t of a pattern, from theavtdth of the cloth. This has re, sulted necessarily in the production of longitudinal seams and in considerable waste of the cloth. To obviate these objects, I lay i out the cent by cuttin' a one-piece body pattern, with its top on bottom parallel to the sides of the bolt of cloth or by marking the outlines of the coat bod directly on the cloth. Then by cutting tie cloth on the marginal lines of the pattern, I roduce a ciiati] body of a single or integra piece of 0t line for the sleeves and collar, which are se arately cut.

lhe second object of my invention I accomplish by forming a lmin in a single piece, so that the war threats run lon itudmally thereof, and then attaching t he to the body in such manner that the temp. l ofthelimng runs cross-wise of said llt y' Other objects will a ipcar throughout the s -cilication, and are s'iown in the drawing, in which- Figure 1 shows a one-piece pattern laid upon the cloth; and Fig. 2 shows the oneptecc lining attached to the coat body.

In carrying out my invention, I first prodnce or} ace upon the cloth 3 a coat body 9 as at having mrtions cut awaf lar. By

or the sleeves, am at (l for theco .the skirt is of considerabl providing thereon the necessary outcomparing the width of the bolt of cloth with the width of'the lower edge 0! the skirt between the points i and 8, ll wtll be readily seen that the llared lower edge of greater length than the width of the clot t. For the ordinary sized ierson, a box coat with its lower edge 62 inc ms in length, which is the greatest width of a bolt of cloth, would be sullicicnt. llut where an extreme style is desired for the mmlerate sized individual, and where the ordinarfv style is desired for a large person. it has won immissible to cut a box coat from a single piece of material, for the reason that the dimensions of the cloth were insullicient to give the desired length at the bottom of the coat to obtain the flared or box ell'ect. l have found that in mnstructin the body of the coat from a single piece 0 material that the lower edge of the skirt may be of any width desired, if out from the cloth in the manner shown in Fig. I. It has not been thought necessary to show the manner of attaching the sleeves to the body of the coat or other detail part. as the saute are well known in the art.

In Fig. 2 a new and novel improvement is shown in the lilting ti. The body lining is also constructed from a sin 'le piece of ma-, terial and is secured to the with the warp threads of the lining running crosswise of the coat that is to say the length of the lining extends transversely of the body of the coat am] is secured thereto at its ends and also at its top portion. It results from this that the warp threads which give strength to the lining material are arranged parallel to the pulling strains which are exerted by the wearer of the coat in the movements of the body and this arrangement .alao prevcnts'tho wrinkling or breaking of the lining to a large do rec making the lining much more dura le. This single piece lining may be out without waste by simply rcversmguhc position of the pattern upon theanaterial. I am also able. )y placing the limng in this manner, to form a. ltning consisting of a single piece of material. In Fig. 2 the marginal vertical lines in which the lining terminates form the lapel of the coat.

[am aware that the nmin body portion of coats have heretofore been constructed from a single piece of nmtcrial. lmt l bclteve that I am the first to have ever constructed an overcoat or any other form of coat from a ly of the coat,
