WILLIAM GOLDSTEIN AND LOUIS GOLDSTEIN, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented 0a. 28, 1913.

Application filed March 31, 1913. Serial No. 757,862.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM GoLDs'rniN and LOUIS GOLDSTEIN, citizens of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Garments, of whichthe following is a specification.

Our invention relates to a new and useful improvements in garments, such as a shirt waist, and consists of new and novel features, all as will be hereinafter set forth.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail one mechanical form embodying the invention, such detail construction being but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.

Figure 1 represents a perspective View of a portion of a garment, such as a waist, showing the collar in turned down position. Fig. 2 represents a perspective View of a portion of a garment, such as at waist, showing the collar in standing position or as a high collar, and with the lacings, which are employed, engaging with one set of the openings of the collar. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of a portion of a. garment, similar to Fig. 2, with the lacings slightly differently applied. Fig. 1- represents a portion of a blank, forming one-half of the rear part, or inside, of the collar. Fig. 5 represents a portion of a blank, forming one-half of the outer part of the collar, with the tongue. Fig.6 represents a perspective view, showing the front and back portions of the blanks, just described, connected along the outer edge.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings :-1 designates a garment, such as a waist, having the front portions 2 and 3 and a collar line 4L. The said front portions are provided with suitable fastening means, such as the buttons 5 and button-holes 6, as is customary, the same terminating a suitable distance from the up per portion or the top of the waist and each of the front sections being provided with a series of eyelets or openings 7, which may be of any suitable number.

8 designates a lacing which may be of any suitable material, such as a ribbon, which is inserted through the eyelets, and by means of which the upper front portions of the waist may be adjustably connected.

9 designates a collar connected, without a neckback, directly with the collar line by stitches or otherwise, and which collar, when worn .as a turned down collar, will lie upon the shoulders of the wearer in the so-called sailor style, and in the position as will be seen in F 1, or may be folded, as herein after described, as a high collar.

The collar is formed of the rear or bot tom strip, one'half of whiclris shown as 10, and a front strip, one'half of which is shown as 11, which is provided at each end with a tongue or lapel 12,each of which is secured upon the inner side along the edges of each of the front sections 2 and 3 by stitching or otherwise, whereby it will be seen that by reason of the position of the tongues or lapels and the manner in which they are secured, that they will conceal the collar line or seam of the shirt when the collar is open and worn in the turn down fashion, as seen in Fig. 1, presenting an integral structure which is neat and attractive in appearance. It will be further apparent that the eyelets or button-holes 7 in the front of the shirt are also formed in the tongues 12, which thus serve also as an additional strengthening means at these points.

Formed in the collar at each side thereof, adjacent the collar line, are the button-holes 13, while adjacent the front outer edges of the collar are the button-holes 14, there thus being two sets of button-holes formed in the collar. The said collar 9 is adapted to be folded, when desired to be worn as a high collar, on a transversely extending median line, that is in the position seen in Figs. 2 and 3, with the button-holes l l situated at the front portions and with the button-holes 13 in suitable alinement with or relation to the eyelets or openings 7 in the front portions 2 and 3.

When the collar is worn as a turn down collar, as in Fig. 1, it will be seen that the lacing or ribbon 8 is situated in the open ings or eyelets 7 and can be tied in a bow at the point where the collar bends, presenting an attractive appearance. When worn as a high collar, the lacing or ribbon 8 can be passed through the button-holes 13, if desired, and tied, and then it will serve to hold the collar around the neck at the collar line and in proper position with respect to the folded down portions of the collar, and at that time, the button-holes 14L are in suitable alinement to receive a suitable fastening means, such as a link 15, for holding the turn down outer portion, of the collar, in position. If desired, the lacing or ribbon 8,

need not be passed through the button-holes 13, but other fastening means may be employed, in which instance, the appearance of the waist will be as shown in Fig. 3.

From the above, it will be seen that we have provided a construction which presents the possibility of wearing a garment, such as a shirt waist, with a V-n'eok or turn down collar effect, or with a high collar, and by meansof the l'acing's', we have provided an adjustable fastening means for the upper portion of thefront sections of the Waist which can also serve" as means for securing the collar around the neck at the collar line and the collar itself, by reason of the downwardly extending tongues, provides a structure which is durable in practice,- and which presents a neat and attractive appearance, heretofore not accomplished;

Other modes of applying the principle of our invention may be employed for thernode herein explained Change maytherefo'r'e' be made as regards the structure thus disclosed,

provided the principles of construction set forth, respectively, in the following claim are employed.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A garment having a body portion open throughout its front and a collar of soft material directly secured to said garment,

said collar having integral tongues or lapels extending downwardly from each extremity and secured to and overlying the inner surfacesofthe meeting portions of the garment at the front opening and said collar and lapel portions provided at suitable points with suitable fastening means, whereby said collar is adapted to be turned down to lie upon the shoulders in one position and to be folded transversely to be used as a standing collar.
