COLLAR.

Application filed July 27,

My invention relates to the manufacture of wovencollars, particularly of the turndown or folding type, and it consists primarily in the use of textile material that is woven to provide the shapes desired with selvage edges that will give to the collars the desired lines and set, with a View to providing collars having properly shaped selvage edges rather than the folded and stitched ends produced by hemming raw edges of the fabric which have been cut to the forms heretofore used.

The ,collars of my invention may be made either from a single piece of material or webbing provided with .selvage edges having the desired shapes woven therein, or such collars may be formed by sewing together neclrband and turn-down portions woven with selvage edges having the desired shapes or lines, the neckband and turn-down part being sewed together to form the collar, without necessity for folding and stitching or hemming the longitudinal edges of such neclrband and turn-down portions having selvage edges.

The characteristic features of my invention are set out in the following description and the accompanying drawings in illustration thereof.

In the drawings, Fig. 1 illustrates a one piece turn-down collar woven with selvage edges, the collar being shown expanded with the neckband and the turn-down portion in a common plane; Fig. 2 is a plan view of a turn-down portion of a collar woven with selvage edges having the necessary lines for providing a collar of the desired shape and set; Fig. 3 is a plan view of a neckband woven with selvage edges having lines required for incorporating it in a collar with the shape and set desired Fig. 4 is a plan view of an expanded two piece collar made in accordance with my invention; Fig. 5 is a view of the same folded; Fig. 6 is a plan view of a strip of webbing woven with shaped selvage edges and in sections adapted to be separated to provide parts similar to those shown in Fig- 2; Fig. 7 is a plan view of a strip of webbing woven with shaped selvage edges and in sections adapted to be separated to provide parts similar to those shown in Fig. 3, and Figs. 8, 9 and 10 are sectional views illustrating neckband and turn-clown parts in diiferent forms.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the collar is made from a single piece of material 1 having the 1922. Serial No. 577,815.

shaped longitudinal selvage edges 2 andi-i, the ends having the transverse hems i which may be formed in any desired or usual man ner.

As illustrated in Fig. 2, the turn-down portion 5 of a folding collar is woven with the shaped longitudinal selvage edges (land 7. the ends beingprovided with the edgese which are to be turned in and hemmed in any usual or desired manner.

As illustrated in Fig. 3, the neckband portion 9 is woven with the shaped longitudinal selvage edges 10 and 11, the band having the ends 12 adapted to be hemmed in any 5 l desired manner.

As illustrated in Fig. A, the blanks 5 and 9 have their edges, outlined by the lines 7 and 10, lapped and connected by the stitches 13, the ends of the band and turn-down part being hemmed or turned in and stitched by the stitches 16 and 17.

As illustrated in Fig. 5, the folded two piece collar will have the exposed longitudinal selvage edges 6, 10 and 11, together with the stitches 13 and 16.

As illustrated in Fig. 6, in manufacturing, a strip of woven webbing is formed with the sections 5 having the shaped selvage edges 6 and 7, between which are the parts 5 adapted to be separated on the transverse lines 5", to provide the blank shown in Fig. 2. As illustrated in Fig. 7, in manufacturmg a strip of woven webbing is formed with the sections 9 having the longitudinal selvage edges 10 and 11 and ends 9 adapted to be separated upon the transverse lines 9 to provide the neckband blanks illustrated in Fig. 3.

As illustrated in Fig. 8, the parts 5 and 9 may have their edges bounded by the lines 7 and 10 connected by laying one upon the other, and sewing them by the two rows of stitches 13, the part 5 then being folded to the dotted line position to form a collar having the longitudinal selvage edges 6, 7, 10 and 11, similarly to the collar illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5.

As illustrated in Fig. 9, the parts 5 and 9 may be joined along their edges limited by the lines 7 and 10 by the stitching 14: and by folding the parts over these stitches so as to close between them the edges 7 and 10, the selvage edges 6 and 11 being turned in and'sewed by the stitches 15 and 16.

As illustrated in Fig. 10, the part 5 may have its edge 7 turned over the edge 10 of the part 9, the two parts connected in this three ply relation by the stitches 17 and the parts 5 and 9 folded over the stitches, the parts 6 and 11 being turned in and sewed by the stitches 15 and 16.

Having described my invention, I claim 1- 1. A woven collar having one or more longitudinal selvage free edges, one of said edges being curved, and said collar containing button holes adjacent the ends thereof and a button hole intermediate the button holes first named.

2. A woven turn-down collar having a neckband with a shaped selvage edge extending longitudinally thereof and a turndown part with a shaped selvage extending longitudinally thereof.

3. A woven turn-down collar comprising a neckband having longitudinal selvage edges and a turn-down part having longitudinal selvage edges, longitudinal selvage edges of neckband and turn-clown part being sewed together.

4, A, woven turn-down collar having a neckband provided with longitudinal selvage edges together with cut and hemmed ends in combination with a turn-down part provided with longitudinal selvage edges together with cut and hemmed ends, said neokband and turn-down part having longitudinal selvage edges thereof sewed together.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my name this 19th day of July, 1922.
