GEORGE W. SLIFER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

COLLAR.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. SLIFER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Germantown, Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Collars, of which the followmg 1s a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in collars, and more particularly to collars known as standing collars, the object of the invention being to provide improved standing collars of various styles having tie space between thicknesses or plies of the collar, concealing that portion of the tie entirely which passes around the collar, and only display the tied portion in the front.

The invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations, and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is a perspective view illustrating a preferred form of my improvements. Fig. 2, is a similar view somewhat enlarged with the tie removed. Fig. 3, is a similar view of a slight modification. Fig. 4, is a perspective view illustrating another modification. Fig. 5, is a view in vertical section of any of the collars above referred to. Fig. 6, is

a sectional view of a modified form of standing collar, made of two thicknesses or plies of material, and stitched at the top. Fig. 7, is a sectional view of a modified form in which a strip of material is secured at its lower edges to the outer layer of the standing collar, so that the neck band of the tie may be inserted over the upper edge of the strip and be held in place. Fig. 8, is a detail perspective view of the front end of the collar when made in accordance with the construction shown in Figs. 6 and 7.

1 represents my improved standing collar, which comprises an inner member 3 and an outer member 2. As seen most clearly in Fig. 5, the outer member 2 comprises two plies or thicknesses of linen stitched together throughout their length at their upper and lower edges, while the inner member 3 comprises a single ply stitched to the member 2 at its upper edge throughout its length, and having a short section or ply at its lower portion on its outer face, stitched at its upper and lower edges to the inner member, and at its upper edge stitched to the inner ply of Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 26, 1908.

Patented July 13, 1909.

Serial No. 417,859.

the outer member throughout its length, thus providing a tie space between said last mentioned line of stitching designated by the numeral 4, and the lower open edges of said members, said line of stitching being entirely concealed, and not seen from the outside of the collar. The manner of assembling the plies may of course be varied, but the outer ply of the outer member is preferably secured last, so as to make a perfectly smooth outer face to the collar.

As seen in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the ends of the collar may be bent over as is the ordinary Piccadilly collar, and the outer member is cut away or recessed as shown at 6, to expose the tabs 5 on the inner member permitting the ready fastening of the collar, and providing tie space for the tie.

Fig. 2 illustrates one shape of said recessed tie receiving portion, and Fig. 3 another. Fig. 4 illustrates an ordinary straight standing collar, which in all other respects is simi lar to the construction above described.

In all of the constructions above described, the ends of the members are stitched together, save at the point where the outer member is recessed to provide tie room, forming in effect a standing collar to entirely conceal the neck band of the tie.

As shown in Fig. 7, the outer member 2 and the inner member 8 are unattached at the bottom edge, and a strip 11 of material is secured to the inner member 3 by a line of stitching at 12, so that the neck band of the tie or scarf may be inserted over the upper edge of the strip 11 and firmly held in place. In this formof collar the ends are united and constructed as shown in Fig. 8.

From the foregoing it will be obvious that a collar made in accordance with my invention will conceal the neck band of the tie or scarf, and will hold the parts of the tie or scarf from movement in any direction, thus presenting a neat appearance and obviating the annoyance of the riding of the neck band over the top of the collar or otherwise displacing any part of the bow or scarf.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A standing collar, comprising inner and outer members of approximately the same length and disposed side by side, said outer member comprising two thicknesses of material stitched together at their edges throughout their length, and the inner member comprising a single thickness of material stitched to the outer member at its upper edge throughout its length, and a narrow strip of material located between the mem- 5 bers stitched at its lower edge to the lower edge of the inner member, and at its upper edge to the inner member and to the inner thickness only of the outer member, a line of stitching securing the ends of said members 0 from a point removed from the lower edges to their upper edges, tabs on the ends of the inner member, said outer member cut away exposing the tabs and providing tie space.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE W. SLIFER.
