My invention relates to a new and improved necktie and method of making the same.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved necktie which shall not require a filler orlining strip.

not lose its shape, and can be readily ironed.

Other objects of my invention will be setforth in the following description and draw ings which illustrates a preferred embodl 'ment thereof, it being understood that the 1 above general statement of the objects .of my inventionis intended merely to generally ex plain the same and not to limit it in any man- Fig. 1 illustrates a. first embodiment of my invention employing that type of weave which is called the taffeta trade. y

and 3 illustrate thesame weave shown in Fig. 1, and they show consecutive stages in the interweaving of the fabrics tov form the composite fabric.

Figs. e45 inclusive are similar to Figs. 1%. inclusive. They illustrate that type of weave designated by the trade 'as the serge type.

Figs. 79 inclusive are similar to Figs. 1E3.

They illustrate the use ofwhat is known in the trade as the satin weave.

4o Fig. 10 is a rear view of a necktie construct? ed according to the invention. .s'

It has heretofore been customary to provide filler or lining strips forneckties. ""The use of these filler-or lining strips added to the expense of making the necktie, and made it difficult to iron the necktie.

According to my'invention, the necktie con sists of a composite fabric which prefgrably.

comprises a silk facing and a worsted backteing, which isin'terwoven with the'said siik weave by the y A e words, each worsted thread W will correfacing.- The weft thread is also preferabl made of worsted. The relatively thin silk warp threads S may be considered as being diyided into groups'eachof which corresponds to a relatively thick thread W made of wor- 5 sted. This can be done by arranging'the silk threads Sin an upper warp, and by arranging the worsted threads W in a lower warp,

each group of the silk threads S corresponding to a worsted thread comprising a single group of the reed. v

While I do not wish to restrict myself to any particular thickness or type of silk thread or of worsted thread, I have found it suitable to have each silk thread 8 consist of threethread silk of any suitable type such as that known in the trade as organzine from No.

40-45 Denier gage. The thickness of this thread is equal to thatof ordinary 120' cotton thread, it being understood that No. 1 cotton thread has 840 yards to the pound. The worsted thread V] is preferably No. -two ply worsted yarn which is warp twisted, having from twenty to twenty-six turns to the inch.

I prefer to arrange the silk threads in the upper warp so that there will be 400 of such threads per inch, while there will be about 40 of-the worsted threads W per inch. In other spond to a group of ten silk threads S.

' in the embodiment shown in Figs. 13, the taffeta type of weave is employed in which the weft thread W divides each group of silk threads S into two sub-groups having equal numbers.

Forexample, considering Fig. 1, the weft thread W passes between the first groups of ten silk threads S so as toform an upper sub.- groupof five threads and a; lower sub-group of five threads. The said weft thread W then passes around the first worsted thread W and it continues to form the weave previously mentioneduntil it has reached the end of the warp.

Upon the return stroke of the shuttle, that 12 a type of weave which is designated in the trade as the serge type is formed. In the serge? type of wea the weft thread W engages one-third of the silk threads S. For example, in the return stroke of the shuttle, it may be assumed that the silk threads are divided --into groups of twelve and that the weft thread W- engages four silk threads out of weave is completed in the" ordinary manner as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 causing the] V wft thread" to pass around different sub groups of the silk' threads, to complete the connection between all the silk threads, and all the worstedthreads. In the embodiment shownv in Figs. 4 and 6, the forward stroke of the shuttle forms What is known as the serge type of weave, in which the weft thread lVengages onethird of the silk threads S. The return weaye is also as'erge weave, and the'weavingpf the fabric {iscOmpleted with this type of weave in the well known manner, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6'. p

In the embodiment shown in Figs. 7 9, the satin.-type of weave is'employed in the for- Ward stroke of the shuttle. In this embodimerit it may be assumed that the silk threads are dlvided 1n groups of ten. and that two threads of each said group of ten are interlaced by the worsted weft thread W, in the forward'stroke of the shuttle. The serge type of weave is also employed in the rear ward strokegof the shuttle. The composite fabric thus formedis cut into suitable shape and itis turned and the thereof are finished. with a suitable overcast stitch C, as"

fabric, upon iron the tie. [is shown in l l0,the stitches (1' do not pass through thefabric itself. On

' the contrary, thcy only pass through the stitches C which project slightlyfroni the edges ofthe fabric.

By selecting a backing material of suiiioient weight, a strong and durable necktie is providedwhich keeps its shape for a long time. Silk crushes or wrinkles very easily.

lvorstcd is a relatively resilient and non.-

crushablc material. Hence, the composite necktieretains its shape for a long time. It is to be understood that the illustrations 1 of the weave are diagrammatic, because the worsted weft thread W is concealed by the silk'threads S. That is, in actual practice, successive portions 'of thefiller thread are straight, and they are arranged laterally to the length of the cloth. The drawings are back layer.

, mamas threads, interwoven with'a weft thread, and that both said layers are sufficiently interlocked or interwoven to impart to the silk face layer thelesistancento.crushing of the Numerous well known types of.

weaves would be effective for this purpose.

It will be noted that the filler is made of worsted material of sufficient weight to add of a separate lining or filler, because the necktie can be pressed and dry-cleaned. as

often as desired and stains canbe removed therefrom. Since the material is cut on the bias, it isstretchable. vLikewise,.the stitches C can-stretch because they .passthrough the loops of the overcast stitches. It would not be departing from the invention if said stitches C penetrated theextreme edgesof the fabric because said finishing stitches C could still stretch.

Likewise, the absence of a projecting seam,

makes it easy to iron the necktie.

I have shown a preferred embodinientof my invention, but it is clear that numerous changes and omissions can be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.
