GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 10, 1918.

Application filed October 19, 1916. Serial No. 126,601.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, STANLEY LESZC- ZYNSKI and ANTHONY LEszCzYNsKI, citizens of the United States, residing at Gary, in the county of Lake and State of' Indiana,

have invented certain new and useful Im,

provements in Garments; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to new and useful improvements in garments and our object is to provide a garment which may be cut from a section o f goods and practically all the parts used without creating a wastage of the goods.

A further object is to so arrange the seams of the garment that it will be practically impossible to rip the seams loose' from the strain incident to wearing the garment.

Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter set forth and more particularly pointed out in the accompanying specification.

In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application,

Figure l is a front elevation of the garment in its completed state.

Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof.

Fig.` 3 is a front elevation of the garment showing the leg portions thereof extended at right angles to their normal position.

l Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view showing the manner of cutting a section of cloth for forming the various parts of the garment.

Fig. 5 shows one section of the garment after it has been cut from the cloth, and

Fig. 6 is an elevation of a section of cloth for forming the facing of the garment.

Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,

1 indicates the garment which comprises a body portion 2 and leg portions 3 and 4, said body portion and leg portions being formed by two separate pieces of material which, when properly sewed together, form a complete garment.

In order to reinforce the parts of the garment, facings 5 are attached to the front portion of the body of the garment, and a band 6 is disposed around the upper edge of the body portion.

In cutting the cloth of which the garment is formed, so as to produce all of the parts required in completing the garment in such manner a`s to obviate any wastage of the goods, a strip of goods, such as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, is cut along the lines 7 and 8, forming the body and leg sections of the garment, while the particles of cloth left by cutting along the line. 8, are cut along the lines 9 and 10, thus forming the front and rear band sections G and the facing sections 5, thus utilizing all of the cloth with the exception of the small pieces of cloth cut from the edges of the leg portions 3 and 4, such cut away portions being shown at 12 in Figs. 4 and 5, the object in providing the eut out portion 12 being to provide a fullness or baggy portion at the crotch of the garment.

If desired, the strip of cloth may be doubled upon itself so that two full garments may be cut from the cloth at one operation or any number of folds may be used, so long as it does not interfere with the cutting of the cloth along the lines indicated. After the stri of cloth has been cut along the line 7 and t e separated sections then cut along the line 8, the point 13 is brought around and registered with the point 14 at one end of the cut away port-ion 12, the edge 15 containing the cut away portion 12 and 'the edge formed by cutting along the line 7 being stitched together to form the leg of the garment, and in view of the curved formation made by cutting along the line 7, the seam 16 caused by stitching the edges together, will extend spirally in the rear of the leg, the seam at the bottom of each leg terminating at the front port-ion ofthe vgarment and. if desired. draw strings 17 may be employed for closing the lower ends of the legs of the garment. After the two legs i of the garment'have been stitched together as shown, the body of the garment is formed by sewing together the two sections of the cloth along the edges formed by cutting along the line 8, the edgesthus sewed together extending from the points 14 to the upper edge of the garment.

The sections employed for forming the band at the upper edge of the body of the garment are formed b v cutting the strip left, after the body and leg portions have been cut from the strip of cloth, along the lines 9 and 10, and the remaining portion of the strip left after cutting the lcloth along the lines 7 and 8, is sewed to the free edges of the body above the points 14 to form facings for said edges.

It will thus be seen that we have produced an extremely strong and durable form of garment and by extending the seam spirally* l around the leg of the garment, it will be their upper portions to form the body of a garment and having their lower portions folded over to form the legs of the garment of a single piece of material with the seams at the free edges of each of the leg portions extending from the crotch downwardly and outwardly across the rearof the -leg portion to the outer side thereof.

2. Ina garment of the class described, a pair of strips of material sewed together at their upper portions to form the body of the garment and having their lower portions folded over to form the legs of the garment of a single piece of material, the seam for which leg portions extend from the front of the crotch downwardly at the rear of the vleg and thence outwardly to the front of the leg terminating at av point above the lower end thereof to provide a divided portion.

3. In a garment of the class described formed from a pair of strips having one edge substantially straight with a crotch point thereon and the opposite edge curved from its top to a crotch point and thence extended upon a compound curve to the lower end of the leg, said strips being secured together at the rear of the body and also from the front of the crotch downwardly and across the back of each of the leg portions.

4. The method of cutting a 'garment of the class described comprising two strips, each having one substantially straight 'edge and an opposite edge extended upon a compound curve, consisting inv disposing said .strips in reverse positions upon a piece' of material with their compound edges in con# tact, and cutting from the remainder-of the material at the ends of said compound curved portions band and facing'pieces to produce a garment from the minimum amount of material.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. STANLEY LESZCZYNSKI.`
