SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No.458,266, dated August 25, 1891.

Application filed June 11, 1891. Serial No. 395,944- (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

' Be it known that I, SAMUEL BRooM, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shirts, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in shirts, applicable also to ladies vests, childrens jackets, and the like articles of wearing-apparel; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter set forth, and illustrated in the drawings hereof.

Figure 1 illustrates an elevation showing the parts combined when in use. Fig. 2 illustrates an elevation of the neck of the shirt and the attaching-piece for the scarf, being opened for the purpose of putting on or taking off of the shirt, the lower portion of the scarf being disconnected from the shirt the better to show the construction. Fig. 3 illustrates a detail showing the loosening of the.

overlap of the scarf, which may be done during the cleansing of the garment. Fig. 4 illustrates a detail taken on the line sex of Fig. 2, showing the method of uniting the parts, the bosom of the shirt being unbuttoned.

A is the body of the shirt, having an open front. It may be made of any preferred material and in any preferred manner, ordinarily a single width of the goods slit down its front central section to afford the bosomopening.

B is a fly-piece sewed to the left-hand edge of the goods, to which buttons 0 may be securely attached.

D is another fly-piece, stitched to the opposite edge of the bosom-opening, in which the button-holes are made.

E is a scarf-piece. It is preferably, but not necessarily, a single piece of material the edges of which are folded inwardly, and when the ends are wrong side out the edges of this scarf-piece and also the raw edges of the fly-piece D are. stitched together by stitches F, as shown in Fig. 4, so that the stitching shown at G will unite the scarf and the fly D to the edge of the bosom at H, and no raw edges of any part will appear. The

upper part of the scarf may be folded upon itself, as shown in Fig. 3, crossing diagonally across the portion which lies upon the bosom together and secured.

of the garment, and it is then turned again and crossed over "in front of the scarf-strip, making a raised rib or knot like part I. (See Figs. 1, 2, and 3.) I prefer that the end J of this part of the scarf should be carried around to the rear and there hooked by a hook K or button, as preferred, to an eye or button located at the back of the knot, so that when desired to cleanse the shirt this part may be unbuttoned or unhooked, as shown in Fig. 3, and then thrown back to the right, so that all parts may be more thoroughly cleansed and afterward readjusted.

L is an attaching-piece having a button-hole M. It is sewed to the back side of the knot of the scarf, the part J of the scarf inclosing it when in position. The button-hole M in this attaching-strip buttons over the button N, placed under the collar of the garment at the left, (see Figs. 1 and 2,) so that the neck of the garment and the scarf are properly drawn The lower end of the scarf 0 (see Fig. 1) may be stitched to the lower portion of the bosom, as at P.

I claim- 1. A combined shirt and necktie comprising an open-front shirt and means for fastening the same, and a necktie secured to the shirt-body along one edge of the opening and covering the same, the tie having a tab at its upper end to engage a fastening on the opposite edge of the opening, as set forth.

2. A combined shirt and necktie comprising an open-front shirt having buttons secured to one edge of the opening and a button-hole strip to the other edge, and a tie secured to said strip, said tie having a tab at its upper end for engaging a fastening upon the opposite side of the opening, as set forth.

3. An open-front shirt having a tie permanently secured to the front thereof in line with the opening and covering the same, the tie comprising a body-piece having a knot at its upper end, the knot being detachably fastened to the body-piece at one edge thereof, as and for the purposes set forth.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 6th day of June, A. D. 1891.

SAMUEL BROOM. YVitnesses:
