INVENTOR. f/arrg/ fir/yzr Q7 TTORNEYS Patented Jan. 2, 1951 GARMENT Harry Berger, New York, N. Y., assignor to Kaylon Incorporated, New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application January 6, 1%9, Serial No. 89,586
2 Claims. 1
This invention relates to garments, and more particularly to a collar construction which, while useful on various types of garments, is particularly adapted for use on pajama coats.
Although pajama coats are frequently made collarless, the provision of a collar adds to the appearance of the garment and is generally desired. At the same time the extra thickness of material at the back of the neck is often objectionable. This is especially true in hot weather.
Prior attempts to produce a garment with collar portions extending forwardly from the shoulder seam have not been successful. With the rear portion of the neck opening consisting only of the one thickness of material which forms the back of the garment, the neck opening frequently will not stay in shape or have sufiicient tensile strength t resist the strain imposed on this part during active movements of the body. In the present invention I provide a neck construction consisting of collar portions extending forwardly from the shoulder seams. The rear ends of these collar portions are secured in the shoulder seams. I then provide a reinforcing strip of material extending from each shoulder seam to the other around the back of the neck. This strip of material is cut on the bias and when secured in position, strengthens the neck opening and causes it to retain its shape, in the same way that a span does on a bridge construction.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown one embodiment of the invention. In this show- Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a pajama coat prior to attachment of the collar portion;
Fig. 2 is' a detailed view of the front of the garment with the front edges turned back;
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of one type of collar and lapel construction;
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2 of one side of the front of the garment with the collar attached;
Fig. 5 is a front elevation similar to Fig. l but showing the collar attached;
Fig. 6 is a detailed, sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 7 is a similar view on line l'l of Fig. 1;
Fig. 8 is a similar view on line 8-8 of Fig. 4;
Fig. 9 is a similar view on line 9-9 of Fig. 4;
Fig. 10 is a similar view on line l0HJ of Fig. 5; and
Fig. 11 is a front elevation of the neck portion of a pajama coat showing the lapels folded over to produce a closed neck construction.
Referring to the drawing the garment consists of the usual front sections I and 2, which are secured to the back 3 of the garment by. side seams (not shown). Each front section and the back section is provided with portions of an armhole opening to which sleeves 4 are secured. The front and rear sections are also shaped to form a neck opening 5 and are secured to each other along shoulder seams ii. The material at the adjacent edges of the front is'formed of a double thickness as indicated at l and 8. Buttons 9 are secured to one edge of the garment along this portion of double thickness and are' received in buttonholes it on the opposite side.
The parts heretofore described are of the usual construction and form no part of the invention except in the combination claimed. As shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing, the material of which the garment is formed is shaped at the neck opening to form the under sides of the lapels as indicated at II. The lapel and collar construction forming the present invention is shown in Fig. 3 of the drawin and consists of a lapel member l2 and a collar portion l3 which are sewed to each other along their adjacent edges as indicated at M. In the construction of the garment, two of these members are employed, one for the right hand lapel and collar portion and the other for the left hand lapel and collar portion. The lapel member is sewed to the lapel portion II on what is the underside of the garment before the lapels are folded over as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing. It is preferabl stitched along the outer edge as indicated at l5 (see Fig. 9) and is loose at the inner edge. As shown (see Fig. 9) the material of the lapel is folded upon itself and stitched as at 16. Where the lapel joins the collar the collar portion I3 is inserted between the two layers H and I2 of the lapel construction as shown in Fig. 8.
As shown, the collar portions l3 are merely of a sufficient length to extend from the lapels to the shoulder seam. As shown in Fig. 10 of the drawing, the rear edge I! of this collar portion is received between the materials of the front and r back of the garment and sewed in the shoulder seam 6. The lapel is adapted to be folded in the position shown in Fig. 5 of the drawing when the garment is used with the ordinary lapel and collar neck, it being folded along the broken line I8 of Fig. 3 of the drawing. However, the garment may be provided with a button I 9 arranged beneath one side of the collar and the other lapel may be provided with a buttonhole 28 adjacent its edge so that the lapels can be folded over and secured to each other in produce a closed neck construction as shown in Fig. 9 of the drawing.
To strengthen the rear of the neck opening I provide a strip of material 2| which extends from each shoulder seam to the other and is secured to the back 3 of the garment by stitching at its upper and lower edges as indicated at 22 in Fig. '7 of the drawing. The provision of this strip reinforces the rear of the neck opening. which is necessary tok'eep the garment in; shape. It is preferably cut on the bias, and being curved when in position, materially strengthens the neck. It, in eifect, serves as a bridge between the two collar sections.
In the drawing I have illustrated the invention in connection with a coat having a lapel type of neck construction. The invention is not limited to this particular type of construction and can be employed in connection with any formof collar.
The advantages of the construction will be apparent from theforegoing description While I have described apreferred embodiment of the invention, changes. in thedetails of construction may, of course, be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
I claim:
I. A garment having front portions and a back formedof a singlethickness of material, shoulder seams connecting the front portions and the back, the front portions and the back of the garmentbei'ng shaped toform a neck opening, a collarportion secured toeach front portion andextending only to and being secured in the shoulder seam, and a reinforcing strip secured to the back of the garment extending from one of the shoulder seams to the other around the edge of the rear of the neck opening to strengthen the rear of the neck opening and retain it in shape.
2. A garment having front portions and a back formed of a. single thickness of material, shoulder seams connecting the front portions and the back, the front portions and the back of the garment being shaped to form a neck opening, a collar portion secured to each front portion and extending only to and being secured in the shoulder seam, and. a reinforcing strip secured to the back of the garment extending from one of the shoulder seams to the other around the edge of the rear of the neck opening to strengthen the rear of the neck opening and retain it in shape, the reinforcing strip being cut on the bias.
