Among the principal objects which the present invention has view are: to provide a garment with a collar whi '1 may be ring; to

may be converted into amilitary or standing collar; and to provide a garment with a col lar or the character mentioned which will lie smoothly on the shoulders to be worn as a. cape.

' Drawinga higure l is a view oi'a garhaving a collar constructed and or ranged in'accordance with th present in vention, showing the collar disposed a head covering; Fig. 2 is a view of the same, showing the collar outspread to disclose the fastening devices with which it is furnished; Fig. 3 is a view a sweater having a collar disposed as a cape; Fig. 4 a view or" the same showing the collar disposed in. the form of a military collar; Fig. 5 is a iew of the same, showing the collardisposed as a highthroated cape collar.

Descripz'i0n.As seen in the drawings, a knitted sweater is provided with a collar 10. The collar is made in the form generally known as cape or'wide-sp'reading collars, on the normally under side whereof are mounted tabs 11 and 1 The tab 11 is secured preferably by sewing the same "to the collar 10 adjacent the outer edge thereof. When the collar is worn in either the positions shown in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings. the tab 11 is held in the position shown in Fig. 2, by means of a button 13, which is engaged by a buttonhol'e 'loop formed adjacent the free edge of the tab.

At the opposite sides of the collar and ad jacent the edge thereof, are buttons 14, said buttons being employed for holding the tab 11 in the position shown best in Fig. -1. When the tab 11 is thus disposed, it will be noted that the two halves of the long edge of collar'are held juxtaposed to form a head covering for the wearer. The rear end of the gap between the edges is closed by folding the material at that ,point ancl'securing the Ph l? of the collar.

body, and folded the one'on the others; fihc-tahisirieleased from engagement with the button 1, and is carried across the head and folded across the lapped edges of the half sections The buttonholes l6 and l ith which the tab 11 is provided, are then engaged with the buttons 14 and 15. It will now be found that any opening between the juxtaposed edges of the half sections of the collar is closed and that the collar and flap form a complete head covering for the wearer.

in Fig. slot the drawings, the tab 12 is shown in active position, the buttonhole in the free end of said tab being engaged by retaining than 18. Also it will be observed that the collar 10 has been folded pariially inside the sweater. so that the e posed portion forms a standing or military collar for which the tab lQ provides a throat latch of conventional character.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings, the tab 12 is shown in the inactive position in which it is retained by a button 19. This is the normal position for the tab 12 when the collar 10 is disposed as a cape, collar, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

It will be noted that the tab 11 is shaped, the free edge being bowed, as shown best in Figs. 1 and of the drawings. This arrangement permits the collar to mold or conform to the shape of the head of the wearer, and results in the head covering resting more snugly when in service.
