Application filed hpril 3.5, 1509. Serial No. 490,002.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH J. RABINO- Yrrou, a citizen of the United Etatss, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a no and useful Improvement; in Shirts, oit which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to thesecompanying drawings, which form a. part of this specification.

The obj eot of my invention is to so niooiity the construction of the ordinary shirt that suspenders may be worn in connection therewith, but. under, instead of over, the shirt, so as to completely or substantially conceal ihen1 it'roni View.

A. further object or the invention is to so construct the shirt that, in attacl'iing the suspenders to the trousers, notwithstanding that the ends thereof may have slipped up a substantial distance. above the trousers-band, the suspender ends may be readily pulled down and'grasped without the necessity of reaching up between the shirt and the body.

A further object of the invention is to effect the foregoing results without any substantial modification of the ordinary suspenders, so that it only necessary for the prospective wearer to purchase the shirt.

A further object of the invention is to so construct the shirt that a shirt of the some trade number may be worn by different indi- \iduals in whom there is a substantialvaria- Lion in the distance from neck to waist-hand.

The means whereby the foregoing results are secured may be best understood by the following description of preferred enibodiments of my invention in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is a perspective View showingthe application of my improved sairt, in conneo tion with the ordinary suspenders, to the body of the wearer. Fig. 2 is a detail View of a part of the front of the shirt engaged. with one of the front ends of a Suspender. Fig. 3 is a front view of the shirt partly broken away to show the engagement with the rear end of the Suspender. 4: and. 5 are detail views of other embodiments of the invention.

a is the body of the shirt constructed like an ordinary shirt except in the following particulars. Formed the front and rear of the shirt, at locations substantially corresponding to the locations The shirt is the buttons on the band of the ordinary trousers when the shirt is in use, are six orifices in the shape or comparatively long and narrow slits or slots (1. face of the shirt, midway between each pair of front slits a, at a. point approZ-Liinately on alevcl with the lower ends or the slits, is socured a strip (Z of a length perhaps three' times that of a. slit. To one face oi the strip, near its lower end, is secured a button 6, and near the free end of the one or more button-holes The strip is passed. through the corresponding end of the suspender in any convenient way. Preferably it is passed throu 'h the usual link c between On the inner" strips (I, with a button 0'. to which the free end or the strip is adapted to be buttoned. The strips 5 engage the rear strap-terniinals 721, preferably by being passed through slits or openings it formed therein, and are then. formed into loops by huttoning the ends thereof, as dosori ed.

teeoared'to the inner face of the shirt, atthe shoulder portions thereof, are shoulderstra-ps 0, through which the main straps of the suspenders are slipped, whereby the suspenders are suspended from and within the shirt before the shirt is applied to the body.

The shirt is put on in precisely the same manner as is an ordinary shirt and the ends or tabs of the suspenders are pulled through the slits a and fastened to the trousers but tons p, as shown on the left-hand side of Fig. 1. The tendency of the suspender ends is or" course to slip upwardly into a relatively inaccessible position, but in my invention, the fastening ends run be drawn down, from the position shown on the right-haiid side of Fig. i, by taking hold of the shirt at the points where the pieces a and k are secured thereto and pulling downwardly. This brings the Suspender tabs down until .oey either project through the slits c or are within the shirt on a level. with the slits. in either position they v.loe readily grasped and br onod to the trousers.

reason of he provision of the vertical slits-c, a shirt of a give size maybe readily accommodated'to bodies of different height,

the leewa! in this regard thein equal to the length 0 the slits. -When t e suspenders are secured in position they.- are substantially concealed. Even in case the waist-band of .theitrpl f is provided with outside but- 'tons,only the extreme ended the suspendersare visible; and in case the trousers butide, eventhese extreme 'are onithe bein practical diificulties in the way'of mar eting a combined article of this kind.

change in the suspenders;

' great simplicity and may s sewed to the shirt alongsi In Fig. 4, I have shown a modification in which the strip marked 1', is secured to the outside of the s irt and is assed through an additional orifice t, an is then passed through the suspender link and buttoned to itself as before described.

In Fig. 5, I have shown a modification in which the wide end of each sus ender tab is increased in length and-a secon button-hole 1' formed therein adapted to e age a button e the corre sigonding slit 0. This construction, is less sirable, first, because it involves a sli ht cause the capacity of the shirt to accommodate itself'to high and low waist-bands is lessened; ,but it possesses the advantage of on that account be preferred by some users.

Havin now fully described my invention, what I c aim and desire to protect by Lettcrs Patent is 1. A shirt provided with aseries of orifices relatively long vertical] row horlzontall located substantially at the waist ortion t e; 10f, and pieces secured to shirt adjacent the orifices and extendende'r ends, a strip and second, e-

and relatively narin up alongside the inner face thereof and acfipted to removably en age the suspenders.

2. A shirt provided wit adapted for the reception of suspender ends,

aseries ofpairs otorifices located respectively at opposite sides 'of the front and m the center of the back strips secured to the shirt between said ori time and extending u wardly, and complemanta, fastening ends 0 the strips to enable thestri s to be passed through the suspenders an folded upon themselves and secured in folded position. r v

3. A. shirt provided'with a series of pairs of orifices located res ectively at opposite sides of the front and back for the suspender ends, and suspender engaging devices ermanently secured to the inner face of t e shirt in proximity to said orifices and adapted-to be remo'vably attached to. the sus enders;

'4. A shirt provid ed with a series of pairs of orificesirelatively long vertically and relatively narrow M respectively at opposite sides of the front an in the center of the back for. the sussecured at its lower end etween the slits 0 each front air substantially opposite the lower en s thereof, a piece secured between the slits of the rear air substantially opposite the lower ends hereof having integral stri s projecting upwardly, complementary fiistening devices carried by each strip respectivel near its fastened end and near its free en whereby the strips may each be. passed thrfiigh the suspenders and said fastening devices engaged.

In testimony of which invention, I have hereunto set my hand, at Philadelphia, on this 12th day of April, 1909.
