Application December 31, 1948, Serial No.
3 Claims.
My present invention relates to womens apparel and more particularly to a collar formation for a womans dress, blouse, or other outer garment so arranged that a plurality of alternately usable collars and styles are provided with the alternately usable collars permanently attached to the garment at all times.
Heretofore some attempts have been made, particularly in mens wear, to provide for variation and modification of a garment such as a shirt by so arranging the shirt that a collar may be detachably and removably secured thereto.
Attempts have also been made in various types of garments such as leather jackets to provide a protective fabric outer lining for the collar in order to prevent contact of the cold leather with the neck of the user.
My invention, however, contemplates providing a womans garment such as a blouse with two permanently attached collars, one overlying the other. Preferably, the overlying collar will be larger in size and different in style from the underlying collar. v
The overlying collar is so arranged and cut that after it becomes wrinkled or if a change is desired, it may be turned over and in, revealing the underlying fresh collar which may be of a different size.
By way of example, the overlying collar when used on a blouse may be of the shirtwaist type so that the collar may be worn open at the neck or closed. The underlying collar may be of the Peter Pan type so that when the overlying collar is turned in and the button at the neck is closed, a blouse with a Peter Pan neckline is created.
Thus, in the case of women who go to business, the single blouse may serve as a businesslike shirtwaist during business hours and may then be turned into a dressier blouse by turning in the overlying collar without the necessity for a change of apparel.
The primary object of my invention, therefore, is the arrangement of womens outer apparel with two collars, one overlying and concealing the other, the overlying collar being adapted to be turned in to reveal the underlying collar, while the overlying collar is then concealed.
Another object of my invention is the arrangement of the aforesaid collars in such manner that when the overlying collar is turned in, no bunching, particularly at the back of the neck, will occur.
The foregoing and many other objects of my invention will become apparent in the following description and drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a front view of a blouse with my novel double collar arrangement.
Figure 2 is a rear view of the blouse of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an upper front View of the blouse of Figure 1 worn as a shirtwaist with the shirte waist type collar exposed and covering the underlying collar.
Figure 4 is a view showing the collar button of the blouse closed with the overlying collar lifted up preliminary to being turned in and re.- vealing the underlying collar; in actual use, of course, the overlying collar will be turned up and in with the collar open to facilitate this operation. The collar is here shown closed in order better to illustrate the relationship.
Figure 5 is a view of the blouse of Figures 1 to 4 with the overlying collar turned in and the Peter Pan type collar being worn. t
Figure 6 is a vertical cross-sectional view through the upper end of the bluose back showing the manner in which the two collars are sewn in.
Referring to the figures, the blouse i0 is provided at its upper end with two collars H and [2. The upper end of the material of the blouse H] at the neckline is reentrantly bent to form the hem l3.
Tab M which is an extension of the overlying collar 1 I extends up between the hem l3 and the blouse back Ill. Tab i4 is reentrantly bent to form the parallel tab IS. A row of stitching it through the upper portion of the back ill and the adjacent portions of tabs l4 and I5 connects tabs i l and It to the blouse back.
The material of collar l'l between tab l5 and the visible part of collar H is folded to form the panel 20 in surface to surface engagement with the upper end of the tab IS. The additional collar i2 is inserted between panel l5 and hem l3. Stitching 22 passes through the uppermost end of the blouse back in, the encased portion of collar l2 and the upper ends of tab l5 and panel 20 to connect the collar H to the blouse whileat the same time connecting collar l2 thereto and completing the neckline of the blouse. I The collars l2 and ll are, therefore, connected to the blouse in this manner. Collar i2 is folded down on the outside of the blouse so that it lies against the back of the blouse. Collar ll is then folded over in the direction indicated by arrow 26 so that it overlies collar 12 and extends on the back of the blouse around the neckline.
Collar H has a natural soft roll over the top of the blouse, particularly by reason of the additional material provided by the upper ends of tab l5 and panel '20.
As seen in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the collar I I when the blouse is worn as a shirtwaist overlies and conceals the collar l2. When the collar It is 3 folded up and turned in the direction indicated by arrow 30 of Figure 6, then as shown in Figures 4 and 5 the underlying Peter Pan collar 12 comes into view.
Collar I i may be worn with the blouse open as shown in Figure 1 or closed as shown in Figure 3. Collar 12 should preferably be worn with the blouse closed as shown in Figure. 5 in order to conceal the turned in collar ll.
Therefore, collar 12 is Peter Pan shape of the type which will naturally be worn closed by the user.
In order to prevent bunching when collar l l is turned in, the back of collar I! as shown in Figure 2 is indented or upwardly curvedat' 32 to follow the shape of the neckline at the nape of the neck; thus, when collar H is turned in there is no excess of material which will bunch at the nape of the neck to produce an unpleasant appearance or an uncomfortable result. Collar 12 will lie naturally and will fit snugly at the back.
Obviously, if the collar 12 is to be concealed when the collar H is worn outside, then collar l2 musthave a similar notch at the area 32.
While. it is preferred that the two collars be so-designed that an actual style change will occur when collar H is turned in, the two collars may be of; the same type and substantially of the same size with the outercollar being only slightly bigger in dimension than the underlying collar so that a. fresh collar may be brought into view without a style change where that is required.
My invention does not contemplate having the underlying collar extend out beyond. the overlying collar since this would create a style and a type of wearing apparel not heretofore recognized in women's apparel except for an ornamental tiered appearance.
The essential element of my invention is, however, to make it possible to produce a style change from one type of wearing apparel to another without requiring an actul change of clothing, and this is achieved by having the overlying collar completely conceal the underlying collar.
While I have specifically described and shown my novel collar arrangement as applied to a blouse, it is obvious that the collar arrangement may be'applied to any apparel of sufficiently thin material so that the overlying collar may be turned in without causing bulkiness or bunching.
Thus, my novel collar arrangement may be ap plied'to-womens dresses, dickeys, housecoats, and other light weight appare In a preferred method of manufacture, the two collars are stitched together at the neckline before insertion in the blouse; the composite double' collar is then sewn to the blouse neckline with suitable collar binding in substantially the well knownmanner in which an ordinary collar is sewn' to the blouse.
If necessary, an additional button at the collar maybe provided spaced laterally from the first button at the collar closing; the additional. button ls'con'cealedby the overlying collar when the latgiven a. shape such as a.
' of the collars at ter is in use. The said additional button serves as an appropriate closure for the underlying c01- lar when the overlying collar is turned in, thereby solely in connectio bodiments thereof.
with specific illustrative em- Since many variations and modifications of my invention will" now be obvious to those skilled in the art, I prefer to be bound not b the specific disclosures herein contained but only by the appended claims.
I claim:
1. In a. garment having a, neckline, a double collar comprising an underlying collar and an overlying collar stitched to the neckline of the garment; the overlying collar covering and concealingthe underlying collar when the overlying collar is exposed, the overlying collar being foldable inwardly to lie in surface to surface engagement with the inner surface of the garment, the underlying collar thereafter comprising the visible collar of the garment, the free edge portions the back of the garment being recessed toward the neckline.
2. In a garment having a neckline, a double collar comprising an underlying collar and an over ying collar stitched to the neckline of the Y garment; the overlying collar covering and concealing the underlying collar when the overlying collar is exposed, the overlying collar being foldwith the inner surface of the garment, the
underlying collar thereafter comprising the visi'b-le' collar of the garment; the free edge portion of the overlying collar at the back of the garment being recessed toward the neckline at the nape of p the neck, permitting the overlying collar when overlying collar stitched to the neckline of the the garment.
garment; the overlying collar covering and concealing the at the front; the underlying collar being of substantially uniform Width at the sides and front of ALVIN WETZLER.
