We, TOM FISHBURN of 15 Cross Lane Wortley, Clothier, and DAVID GLASSFORD,
of 66 Cammeron Street, Commercial Traveller, both of Leeds in the County of York
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The object of our invention is to construct a combination coat suitable for various
changes of weather.
For this purpose the foundation or body consists of an ordinary wearing top coat
of suitable material.
::
"
To this coat we attach a skirt by means of a belt round the waist, and suitable
buttons or. hooks, thus covering up the lower part of the ordinary coat and forming
in appearance what is known as an "Ulster
or Chesterfield." In addition to this
combination we apply or attach a cape of any suitable shape, thus increasing the
warmth and altering at the same time the style or appearance of the garment.
The various parts forming the combination garment are by preference all made of
the same pattern of material.
