NECKTIE.

Application filed April 5, 1927. Serial No. 181,204.

The principal objects of this invention are, to produce a neektie which will maintain its shape and appearance and will withstand extraordinary strains without breaking.

A further important object is to devise a form of fourinhand tie which will present a novel appearance. l

The principal feature of the invention consists in the novel construction of the tie in vwhich a bias cut lining material extends the full width of the facing fabric and is stitched thereto throughout its length adjacent to the longitudinal edges covering the wrong side of the facing material prior to having the longitudinal edges folded and secured together.

A further important feature consists in the novel arrangement of a fancy lining at the end of the tie, being secured to the stitched together edges.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View of the lining side of a partly formed tie showing the arrangement of the bias cut lining.

Figure 2 is a plan view showing the tie folded for the securing of the longitudinal edges together, one end being shown partly turned.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the tie turned.

Figure 4 is an enlarged plan view of the free end of a tie showing a decorative lining.

In carrying this invention into effect the cloth l which forms the outer or face material of the tie is cut to the desired shape, preferably on the bias and the lining inaterial 2 is cut from the same pattern. This lining material is of aspecial quality, being formed of a tightly woven all wool fabric and it is bias cut. The two lengths of cloth are then placed together, the reverse side of the cloth being placed against the lining and a row of stitching 3 is run along both longitudinal sides, close to the edges. The end edgesof the tie are turned over to form the hems 4 and 5.

The blank thus formed is doubled longi tudinally so that the two longitudinal edges are brought together with the lining turned outward as illlustrated in Figure 2. A row of stitching is then run along the two edges to join them together and when the edges are thus stitched the tie is reversed or turned inside out, thereby bringing the face side of the cloth 1 outward as illustrated in Figure 3. The tie is then pressed so that the longitudinal seam 6 extends centrally of the width of the tie.

A tie constructed as described will be very strong and durable. The wool lining material is extraordinary strong and being bias cut, it will have considerable longitudinal elasticity and as the tie is reinforced longitudinally by the seam 6, such seam limits the longitudinal stretch.

The principal feature of importance in the construction is the use of a bias cut lining material which has its longitudinal edges seamed together and though a wool material is highly desirable other material may be used. The lining extending the full length of the facing material reinforces it and said lining being constructed as described will not break as does the lining in an ordinary tie when'extraordinary stretch is placed upon it.

In order to provide a fancy finish for the free'or iiowing end of the tie the bias cut liningfabric is stopped short of the pointed end and a piece of fancy fabric 7 is laid thereover and seamed into the hem 4 at the bottom end and stitched into the end of the longitudinal seam G so that when the tie is turned the fancy fabric will showin the place 'of the coarser heavy lining.

Figure 4 of the drawing illustrates the manner of securing the decorative fabric 7.

A tie such as described is very simple to make but is both pleasing in. effect and strong and durable.

What I claim as my invent-ion is A necktie having a length of outer terial and a length of bias cut lining m..- terial each of a corresponding width and shape and having the longitudinal edges thereof stitched togethei1 and the stitched edges secured in a longitudinal seam and folded lengthwise with the seam arranged midway of the Width of the tie and the edges turned inward.
