Application July "I, 1933. Serial No. 679,415

2 Claims.

The present invention relates to improvements in neck ties and has for an object to provide a double-faced, twist-proof neck tie, scarf or the like article of wearing apparel in which the tie 5 will iron or press out straight without curling up or twisting.

Where lining is used, a further object of the invention is to provide an improved construction wherein such lining will not move relatively to the face pieces of fabric.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a tie in which no lining is necessary but which will be of a duplex character composed of two opposed pieces of face material generally of 16 a different design or pattern whereby the tie may be reversed to expose such different designs.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention will be more fully described hereinafter, and will be. more particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.

In the drawing, wherein like symbols refer to like or corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved construction showing the first step in the method of manufacture.

Figure 2 is a similar view showing the pieces united by stitching.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary perspective view showing one end tucked in.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the tucked in ends being brought out through the unsecured central or neck band portion, and

Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the completed article of apparel.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the material will be cut on the length or width, not on the bias. v.The two pieces of face material are indicated at 10 and 11 Thelining is shown at 12. Both face pieces 10 and 11 are cut alike. The lining is similarly out except at the central or neck band portion 13 the lining tapers off nar-',

over the face piece 10 and stitched thereto as indicated by the line of stitching 14. This stitching passes about the entire edge of the neck tie including the neck band portions as shown in Figure 1. This stitching 14 extends along the edges of the neck tie and turns in at the central portion 13.

The face 10 and lining 12 thus stitched together are superimposed on the second face 11 with the first face 10 down against the second face 11 no andthe lining 12 uppermost. A second line of i stitching 15 is then passed through the three pieces of

material

10, 11 and 12, preferably inside the first line of stitching 14. This second line of stitching stops at the points 16, l7, l8 and 19. In other words, it does not extend into the neck band portion but leaves the two faces 10 and 11 unsecured or unstitched at this central portion thereby providing a gap, as shown in Figure 4, through which the tucked-in ends of the material may be brought out. v

The stitching 15 crosses the stitching 14 adjacent the

points

16, 17, 18 and 19. A safety pin or other device 20 is secured at each end portion of the neck tie, as shown in Figure 3, to facilitate the tucking in of the ends of the tie, which tucking in condition is shown in Figure 3; and to further facilitate the movement of the tucked in portion up through the tie to the central neck portion where such tucked in ends are brought out in the manner indicated in Figure 4. This causes a reversal of the material, bringing the

stitches

14 and 15 inside so as to conceal and protect the same and enable the tie to be ironed, flat and to avoid curling. As shown in Figure'5, a after the reversal is accomplished, the unsecured I portions at the neck band are stitched together as indicated at 21.

It will be appreciated from the foregoing-that the lining will not move and the tie will iron or press out straight without curling up or twisting. When made of fast color materials, either silk or cotton, the tie will wash and iron, and stay straight. V

It will be obvious that various changes in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts could be made which could be 'used without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I do not mean to limit the invention to such details except as particularly pointed out in the claims.

Having. thus described my invention, what I I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:-- 1

1. The herein-described method for making neckties, which consists in cutting two pieces of face material on the length or width to the similar shape desired, cutting a piece of lining similarly except that the collar band portion is narrower than the collar band portions .of the faces, stitching the lining to one of the face pieces all around, no

the collar band portions.

2. An improved necktie comprising two mutual pieces of face material, a. lining of mutual size except at the narrower neck portion of the lining, a continuous row of stitching securing the lining and first face piece, stitching connecting the two the latter stitches crossing the first stitches near face pieces and lining except at the neck portion,

the neck'portion, and other stitches securing the neck portion of the face pieces together after the reversal of the parts. subsequently-stitching the unsecured; parts of MARY A..STEPHENS.
