PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Combination Garments.
We, THE CELLULAR CLOTHING COMPANY LIMITED, and, HERBERT WILLIAM
HALL both of 124 London Wall in the County of London, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to garments of the kind in which the pants or drawers are
combined or made in one piece with the vest, jersey or other form of body garment.
Such garments are usually made of texture knitted or otherwise manufactured so
as to give the necessary elasticity, and the material used is generally of a woollen
character or sometimes it may be of silk. It is consequently usual for the wearer
to have, besides such combination garment, a separate shirt of linen or cotton, or a
separate front and collar and separate wrist bands which can be subjected to the
washing starching or ironing processes that are not applicable to the combination
garment itself.
The object of this invention is to produce a combination garment which does not
require a separate shirt, or separate front, collar or wrist bands, but is so made as
to have these parts combined with the drawers, body and arms, which are made
preferably of such fabric as to give the necessary clasticity, and are of such material
as to allow of the frequent washing and getting up of the linen or cotton parts.
For this purpose, the drawers vest or body and arms are made of suitable fabric
such as can be washed like linen or cotton; to the breast is sewn a plain or pleated
linen or cotton breast front with or without collar, and to the arms are sewn cuffs
or wristbands. As the garment including these parts is of such material that the
whole can be washed, the front, collar and wristbands can be washed, starched and
ironed in the usual way.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Combination Garments.
We, THE CELLULAR CLOTHING COMPANY LIMITED, and HERBERT WILLIAM
HALL both of 124 London Wall, in the County of London, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to garments of the kind in which the pants or drawers are
combined or made in one piece with the vest, jersey or other form of body garment.
Such garments are usually made of texture knitted or otherwise manufactured so
as to give the necessary elasticity, and the material used is generally of a woollen
character or sometimes it may be of silk. It is consequently usual for the wearer
to have, besides such combination garment, a separate or over shirt of linen or
cotton, or a separate front and collar and separate wrist bands which can be
subjected to the washing starching or ironing processes that are not applicable to
the combination garment itself.
The object of this invention is to produce a combination garment which does not
require a separate or over shirt, or separate front, collar or wrist bands, but is so made
as to have these parts combined with the drawers, body and arms, which are
made preferably of such fabric as to give the necessary elasticity and are of such
material as to allow of the frequent washing and getting up of the linen or cotton

page_text: parts. For this purpose the drawers vest or body and arms are made of suitable
fabric such as can be washed like linen or cotton; to the breast is sewn a plain or
pleated linen or cotton breast front with or without collar, and to the arms are sewn
cuffs or wristbands. As the garment including these parts is of such material that
the whole can be washed, the front, collar and wristbands can be washed, starched
and ironed in the usual way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A combination garment having drawers vest or body and arms made of fabric
that can be washed like linen or cotton, and having linen or cotton breast, cuffs or
wristbands sewn thereto, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
