Improvements in Riding Breeches and the like.
I, FRANCIS HEAFIELD, of 34 Milson Street, Bath, in the County of Somerset,
Glove Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in riding breeches and the like.
This invention has for its object, by means of ribs, pleats, or pipings, formed on
or in the leather strappings attached to riding breeches, or constructed on or in
any other part of the said riding breeches, for the purpose of giving a firmer grip
to the saddle as well as adding considerably to the wear and comfort in riding.
The improvement consists, in forming any number of projecting ribs, pleats, or
pipings, on the leather strappings to be attached to the inner face of each leg of
any riding breeches, or the said ribs, pleats, or pipings, may be formed out of the
leather itself or of any other material from which the riding breeches are
constructed. The aforesaid ribs, pleats, or pipings, may be placed horizontally or
perpendicular, curved, oblique or otherwise, on any part attached to the riding
breeches, or formed from any part of the material itself.
If preferable the ribs, pleats, or pipings, may be formed into any suitable design
attached or otherwise formed on riding breeches and the like for the purpose
herein before described.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and
that I do not bind myself as to the shapes, materials and proportions of the parts,
as they may be varied in many ways within the scope of my invention.
Dated this 14th day of November 1894.
