It is cotton goods, and very is attached to the top of the overshirt,and it is large enough to pass freely over thebrim of the hat For the vision part of it I take a piece ofwire cloth (black), about nine or ten inchessquare, and hem the edges with a strip ofoilcloth so tha; the ends of the wire will notstick thiough; then cut out an opening in thebobinet so it will come just to the brim ofthe hat. I make it loose enough so it canbe easily put on and off when 1 want todrink, as the picture shows. To keep the blouse up on the shoulders Iuse a piece of rubber tape attached to each.
