To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. QUIGLEY, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Garment, of which the following is i a specilication.

This invention relates to garments and more particularly to a one piece, combination garment, or union suit.

The object of this invention is to so construct or cut a body garment from one piece of material or from several' pieces of mate- Irial joined together to give the same effect as a one piece garment. It isto be understood that in the latter case materials of dilferent character or make may be used to.

that that part of the garment which en-` vclops or covers the lower limbs is so constructed or made as to open down each limb and allows the garment to be assumed or removed in the same manner as a coat. i'

This invention combinin the upper body covering or shirtwith the Tower limb cover-4 ing or drawers allows of several combinaltions of different classes or kinds of bothI coverings. The shirt portion may be of any well known kind, undershirt, dress shirt, soft bosom shirt, or any otherform of shirt. The drawers may be either long or short or of any other form of lower limb covering.

The opening being continuous from the top of the garment to and including both leg coverings is. so arrangedthat there is no necessity of buttons or clasps at the crotch to interfere with the movement of the body. The two greatest advantages over other one piece garments are, first, the ease with which this garment may be ut on and taken Oil', and, second, the regular y formed crotch 1n the drawers portion which gives this part of the garment a stability where most needed and prevents the gaping or separation of the garment at lthis point.

While I have illustrated this invention in connection with drawers of short length and the entire garment in one piece, it is to be understood that long drawers and separate upper and lower body and limb coverings, sewed, buttoned, or otherwise Ajoined together are contemplated as well without departing from the scope of lthis.

invention.

The accompanying sheet of drawing illustrates the preferred form of this invention.

The body covering is indicated by the numeralV 1, and comprises a soft or plaited bosom shirt opening down-the front as at The body portion lis continued to form the lower limb covering or drawers 3. The shirt opening Z is adapted to be closed by the usual buttons or`studs 7 Thcopening 2 of the shirt stopsA at or near the waist line as is customary in soft. shirts. An o ening 9 fextends from the outer side o each ldrawer leg upward Aand is curved in so as to join the shirt opening 2 at or near the Waist line. The openings may be secured or fastened together by well known means, such as button-holes and buttons 8, at such points as may be found desirable. In the formof garment illustrated a fly 13 of the usual form may be' provided at the crotch. A

The dotted lines illustrate one manner by which a shirt of one kind may be readily attached to a pair of drawers of another kind which open in conformity with this invention. 1

This invention is fully set forth in the following claim: l

A body garment comprising a body covering and lower limb covering provided with an opening extending from the neck opening to a point `in proximity to the waist line and branching ,therefrom to form an opening extending down the4 outer side of each lower limb covering. i
