I SAMUEL BARNES of North Parade Matlock Bath Derbyshire Hosier do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Consisting of an invention by which Gentlemen's Trousers, Pants and Drawers are
so manufactured as to enable the seat and front portions to be removed when worn-out;
and a separate seat and front for insertion in the place where worn-out is manu-
factured and the new portions fastened into the said Gentlemen's Trousers, Pants and
Drawers by the simple method of seaming or stitching.

page_text: I SAMUEL BARNES North Parade Matlock Bath Hosier do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN GENTLEMEN'S TROUSERS PANTS AND
DRAWERS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The invention consists of a method by which trousers pants and drawers are in the
course of manufacture-as described below-so made as to enable the seat and front to
be removed without damaging the other portions of the articles and the seat and front
easily replaced by new portions.
The annexed description describes the manufacture of one leg-of the trousers pants
and drawers at once but in manufacturing both legs or part legs the principle for
seating and fronting is the same.
(1) The manufacture of the said trousers pants and drawers commences in the
ordinary way on any frame.
The improvements in seating and fronting commence at any place on each leg.
(3) Where the seating and fronting commences from the inside of the leg_back
and front across the inside of the leg that portion is turned off forming a selvage
and an ordinary course worked after which a slack course is made and again turned
off forming another selvage or
(4) Where the seating commences from the inside of the leg-back and front-
across the inside of the leg that portion is turned off forming a selvage and
(5) The trousers pants and drawers are proceeded with in the ordinary course of
manufacture but three threads are utilised one making the part for seating another
the fronting and the third working the remainder of the Trousers Pants and Drawers
each thread making selvages; and this continues as far up the leg and body as is
required for the seating and fronting portions.
(6) Then the first process of forming the selvage or selvages is again performed as
described in paragraphs 3 and 4 and the Trousers Pants and Drawers are finished in
the ordinary mode of manufacture.
(7) The detached portions are then seamed or stitched into the said Trousers pants
and drawers.
(8) The seating and fronting portions as described in the foregoing paragraphs
by this mode of manufacture can be removed by simply undoing the slack course and
the seamings.
(9) Another mode for the manufacture of these trousers pants and drawers is to
commence in the ordinary way as far as the commencement of the seating and fronting
portions when a selvage is formed to the width required for seating and fronting and
this portion pressed off the thread then only working the outside of the leg as far up
the leg and body as is required for the seating and fronting when the thread is again
set on to the full width and a selvage formed to the width required a selvage having

page_text: also been made between the first and second selvage-that is up the side nearest the
outside of the leg. This process omits making the seat and front.
(10) Portions to the size of the seating and fronting required are made separately
so as to fit the space left in the trousers pants and drawers and are seamed or
stitched in.
(11) When required these portions can be removed for new seats and fronts these
being inserted by seaming or stitching.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is.
(1) The manufacturing of trousers pants and drawers so that the seats and fronts
can easily be removed when worn.
(2) The manufacture of separate seats and fronts for insertion in the trousers pants
and drawers.
(3) The commencement of manufacture for the seating and fronting to begin
anywhere on the legs and finish anywhere on the body of the trousers pants and
drawers according to the requirement of wearer.
(4) The formation of selvage or selvages around the edges of the seating and
fronting portions preventing the unroving of the material.
(5) The joining of the loose portions-left in the course of manufacture-and the
insertion of separate portions-when the seats and fronts are manufactured separately-
in the trousers pants and drawers by seaming or stitching.
