. The present invention relates to coats of that style commonl worn by men, and has for its principal o ject to provide in the coat certain novel reinforcing members for increasing thelife of the coat, and the stylethereof. I

Another specific object of the invention is to provide'reinforcements of rubberized fabric, thereby preventing tearing, straining, and the like, and at the same time tending to retain the portions of the coat having the reinforcements in their desired shape and formation after having been released from the stretching, straining, or any other distortion.

Another specific object of the invention is to provide a rubberized reinforcin strip on the inside ofthe coat adjacent t e top of a atch ocket which is disposed on the outsi e of t e coat in order to prevent the patch pocket from being easily torn, espe cially at the upper portions thereof. Another specific object of the invention is to provide a reinforcmg element on the inside of the coat, immediately below the opening to which the sleeve is attached prevent tearing as the arm enters the sleeve in putting the coat on, and to increase the strength of the coat underthe arm pits, at which place the coat is subject to considerable wear for obvious reasons;

A still further very important object of the invention resides in the construction of a coat which is exceedingly simple in its construction, strong, durable, inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose forwhich it is designed.

Withlthe above and numerous other obs,

jects in view, as will appear asthe description proceeds, the invention resides in certain details of construction as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings r Figure 1 is a perspective view of the coat embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a transverse section through one of the sleeves, and Figure 3 is a fragmentary plan view showin the inside of a portion of the coat.

iteferring to the drawin in detail, it will be seen that the body of t e" coat, as shown in the present example, includes the back section 5, and the two side or front sections 6, which are faced at their edges in the soasto,

' 7. Stitchin usual manneras'is indicated at 7 and 8. The

sections 6 are attached to the ed es of h sections 5 by suitable seams 9. T e sleeves 10 are attached to the body in the usual manner. Patch pockets 11 are sewed to the outer surface of the sections 6, in the usual manner. Thus far it will be seen that the coat is more or less of conventional construction.

Referring now particularly -to in 'improvements for reinforcing the coat, 1t will be seen that 13 represents two strips of rubberized material, which are ap lied to the inner surface of the sections 6 immediately under the arm pits. These strips 13 are applied b stitching extending adjacent its ower e 'lon itudinal edges are disposed one above, an one below the upper end of the adja'-.

cent patch pockets 1 1, as indicated to advantage inboth Fi' res 1 and-3. This rubberized strip exten d sfrom the seam 9, to the stitchin at the inner .edge of the fac in 7, and the end at the seam 9 is folded an%l sewed with the hem, while the other end is sewed with the stitchlng 16 of the facing 17 attach the longitudinal edges of eac strip to its respective sections 6.

e while its upper edge'is folded and stitc ed in'the seam of the respective the in- With this coat itis preferable to use a sleeve lining which extends from the intermediate elbow portion of the sleeve down into the cuff 18 of each sleeve. This lining, asis shown to advanta e in Figure 2 extends circumferentially 1n the sleeve starting from theseam 19, being tucked into the seam 20, and finall stitched as at 21 so that the-lining exten s transversely over the magor portion of the inner side of the sleeve an abouthalf way transversely of the outer portion of the sleeve. 7 4

It is thought that the construction, utility, and advantages of my improvedand novel reinforcing eatures will now be clearly understood without a more detailed description thereof. 7

It is apparent that numerous changes in the details of construction, in the sizes, in the materials, and in the combination and arrangement of parts maybe resorted to I without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 2- A coat of the class described including a body comprising a back' section, and a air of side sections seams between the e ges of the back sectlon, and the inner edges of the side sections, pockets on the outer surfaces of the side sections, and reinforcing strips applied to the inner surfaces of the side sections to extend transversely thereof,

having one end folded in the seams and their 15 In testimony whereof I aflix my signa- 20 ture.
