Referring more in detail to the drawings: It is well known that mechanics often place The invention is shown as applied to an heavy tools and the like which they are using in the side pockets of the overall garment, which subjects the pocket to heavy strains. By my improved construction, however, the

pocket is so Well supported that the support does not give away to this excessive loading of the pocket.

It will be understood, of course, that minor changes in the details of construction and arrangement of the parts may be made Without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claim.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

An overall garment comprising a body portion having side pocket openings extending diagonally from the Waist band of the overall to the side seam of the same, a pocket including inner and outer sections joined along their inner edges, said outer section extending into and secured by a hem fold in the outer fabric section at the pocket opening and said inner section of said pocket having its edge inturned and placed against the inner face of the inner fabric section at the pocket opening, said edge of the inner fabric section being inturned and secured to the pocket section by parallel lines of stitching passing through the inturned edge portion of the overall and the int-urned edge portion of the pocket, said hem fold in the outer fabric section and said int'urned edge of the inner fabric section extending into and secured by the Waist band seam at their upper ends and into and secured by the side seam at their lower ends. V

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.
