VINCENT’S SYSTEMS OF

NAVAL BOAT CLOAK.

Diagram 263.

The Official Regulations for this garment are somewhat vague, for they simply say:—"The same shape as the waterproof, but without sleeves, blue cloth, the cape lined with white, and the coat lined with black."

The Regulations for the Waterproof referred to state:—"To be of the shape and colour of the Admiralty pattern"

The diagram will, however, supply what is wanting.

From this it will be gathered that this cloak isa caped-over garment, without sleeves.

The cape is made detachable.

The cutting of this garment is as follows:— Body part same as easy-fitting Chesterfield, but with the scye lowered to within about 2 inches of the waist.

The cape is cut by the body part, as follows:—

The shoulder is raised 1 inch as 1 and 2.

From 9 mark across ⅓ breast to 12.

Draw a line straight from 2 through 12 to 3.

Add on 1½ at back of waist.

Take off the same from front shoulder at 4, 5, as has been added to back.

Let forepart overlap back 0 inches.

Draw seams down to 6.

Add on 2 inches at bottom of front, and complete as shown.

SCARBOROUGH CLOAK.

A Cloak of the same style as above is often used by Civilians. Check Cheviots being very suitable for these. They are easy to put on, or take off, and being easy fitting are very suitable for travelling purposes.

The cutting is in every respect the same as Diagram 263. The depth of scye below line 9, 214 being quite a matter of taste.

This diagram shows the front made up to button through.
