Abstract: An outer garment is provided with an interlining of graduated thicknesses, thickest around the upper chest and shoulder areas, thinner around the collar and lapel areas, a little less thick in area from below the buttons to about the lapel area, and least thick from below the button area to the lower edge of the garment. A single layer of interlining material extends the full length of the garment from the bottom edge to the lapel and collar areas; a second layer is superposed on the first layer extending from just below the button area to the collar; and a third layer is superposed upon the previous two layers but extending from above the area of the buttons through and past the lapels and around to the shoulder. The two or more layers or thicknesses are secured together along the overlapped portions thereof and at points on lines spaced therebetween.
