Improvements in Twice-round Hunting Stocks, Cravats,
Cummerbunds, or the like.
I, WILLIAM HARDING of "Hawthornden" London Road, Bromley, in the
County of Kent, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to hunting stocks cravats cummerbunds or the like of the
character that pass twice round and in which it is an especial object (inter alia) to
effect the pass in such a manner as to lie flat and without a great bunch or bulging
of the material at the point of said pass and having other objects and advantages
and improvements in construction or use.
My present invention is as follows:-
For the sake of example I will describe a hunting cravat but it will be obvious
1 do not confine myself to this article alone.
The collar part or main body (which for the sake of brevity I shall hereinafter
refer to as the "body") is formed of any suitable shape but advantageously so
that when placed in position round the neck of the wearer it will form a level edge
all round top and bottom like a clerical collar or other desired form and has suitable
stud or button hole or boles in each end thereof respectively which go to the back
and fit over the back stud or button.
A suitable front stud hole or button hole is or may be formed in the middle or
front part of said "body" in a suitable position.
When this body is laid out flat-on one end thereof towards the bottom edge is
formed arranged or mounted continuous or otherwise a narrow part of a sufficient
length to extend from about the back stud or button to about the front stud hole
(so as to form or appear as one side of the neck band of the tie or cravat) and then
same cominences to widen out or otherwise and to extend for any length or any
shape as desired according to the shape or style etc. desired for the tie or cravat
when made up.
At the upper part of the other end of said body (and continuous therewith or
otherwise as desired) another narrow band extends shaped in a curved and down-
ward direction for a length sufficient to reach from about the back to the front stud
or button hole and then this end commences to widen out or is otherwise suitably
shaped or arranged and extends to any length and of any shape required according
to the shape or style etc. desired for the tie or cravat when made up.
Also on this last named end of the body and just below said downwardly curving
extension a short tab or extension is formed arranged or mounted and has in same
(or partly in same and partly in the body) one two or more holes so that any one
of said holes may be buttoned on to the back stud or button and as the other end
of the body is provided with a corresponding umber of holes thereby this said
collar part can be adjusted to fit more closely or loosely on the wearer as required
and this is a great desideratum in articles of this kind.
This tab may be attached or formed integral with the body part as desired.
The use and operation is as follows:-
First the front hole of the body is buttoned on to the front stud.
Second the last-named end with the tab is then passed round the neck of the
wearer and one of the holes in said tab is buttoned on to the back button or stud.
Third the first-named end of the body is passed round the neck and one of the
Lutton holes therein secured over the back stud or button the top end of the body

page_text: lying between the neck of the wearer and the extension on the other said end which
latter is curved downwards as it passes on round the neck towards the front while
the first-named extension lies neatly and closely over said tab and now passes on
round the neck of the wearer to the front where these two said extensions or ends
meet and are tied or made up into any suitable knot tie or bow or otherwise as desired.
The pass at the back of the neck is thus obtained in a very simple and effective
manner and in a similar manner in twice-round articles other than hunting stocks.

Improvements in Twice-round Hunting Stocks, Cravats,
Cummerbunds, or the like.
I, WILLIAM HARDING of "Hawthornden " London Road, Bromley, in the
County of Kent, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to hunting stocks cravats cummerbunds or the like of the
character that pass twice round and in which it is an especial object (inter alia) to
effect the "pass" in such a manner that the material where same passes will lie flat
and without a great bunch or bulging of the material at the point of said pass and
having other objects advantages or improvements in construction or use.
My present invention is as follows:-
--
For the sake of example I will describe a hunting cravat with reference to the
drawings hereunto annexed-but it will be obvious I do not confine my invention
to this article alone.
In the accompanying drawings:-
Fig. 1 is a view of a hunting cravat according to my present invention--laid
out flat.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the "back" of same in the form or position it.
assumes when passed twice round the neck of the wearer.
The collar part or main body A (which for the sake of brevity I shall hereinafter
refer to as the "body") is formed of any suitable shape but advantageously so
that when placed in position round the neck of the wearer (as in Fig. 2) it will
form a collar with level edge all round top and bottom (see Fig. 2) like a clerical
collar or other desired form and has suitable stud or button hole or holes B¹ B' in
each end thereof respectively which go to the back and fit over the back stud
or button.
A suitable front stud hole or button hole B is or may be formed in the middle
or front part of said "body" A in a suitable position.
Now supposing this body AA is laid out flat-as shown in Fig. 2-on one end
thereof towards the bottom edge is formed arranged or mounted continuous or
otherwise a narrow part C of a sufficient length to extend from about the back
stud or button to about the front stud hole (so as to form or appear as one side C
of the neck band of the tie or cravat) and then same commences at C¹ to widen out
or otherwise and to extend at C for any length or any shape as desired according
to the shape or style etc. desired for the tie or cravat when made up.
At the upper part of the other end of said body A (and continuous therewith)
another narrow band D extends shaped in a curved and downward direction for a
length sufficient to reach from about the back to the front stud or button hole and
then this end commences to widen out at D¹ or is otherwise suitably shaped or

page_text: arranged and extends to any length D2 and is at D' of any shape required
according to the shape or style etc. desired for the tie or cravat when made up.
Also on this last-named end of the body and just below said downwardly curving
extension D a short tab or extension E is formed arranged or mounted and has in
same (or partly in same and partly in the body or both) one two or more holes B¹
so that anyone of said holes may be buttoned on to the back stud or button and
as the other end of the body is provided with a number of holes B³ (advantageously
corresponding to the number at B¹) thereby this said collar part can be adjusted
to fit more closely or loosely on the wearer as required and this is a great
desideratum in articles of this kind.
This tab E may be attached or formed integral with the body part as desired.
The use and operation is as follows:-
:-
First the front hole B of the body A is buttoned on to the front stud.
Second the last-named end D with the tab E is then passed round the neck of
the wearer and one of the holes B' in said tab is buttoned on to the back button
or stud.
Third the first-named end C of the body A is passed round the neck and one of
the button holes B' therein secured over the back stud or button the top end A' of
the body A lying between the neck of the wearer and the extension on the other said
end D which latter is curved downwards as it passes on round the neck towards
the front while the first-named extension C lies neatly and closely over said tab E
and now passes on round the neck of the wearer to the front where these two said
'extensions or ends C³ D' meet and are tied or made up into any suitable knot tie
or bow or otherwise as desired.
"
The " pass at the back of the neck is thus obtained in a very simple and
effective manner; and in a similar manner in twice-round articles other than
hunting stocks.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A twice-round hunting stock or cravat consisting of the combination with a
body part such as A of an extension such as C from the lower part of one end of
said body an extension such as D from the upper part of the other end of said
body and suitable stud or button holes such as B B' and B' respectively substantially
in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
drawings hereunto annexed.
2. A twice-round hunting stock or cravat consisting of the combination with a
body part such as A of an extension such as C C₁C from the lower part of one
end of said body an extension such as D D D from the upper part of the other
end of said body a short tab such as E on the body A below the said extension D
and suitable stud or button holes such as B B1 and B2 respectively substantially in
the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
drawings hereunto annexed.
3. In twice-round hunting stocks cravats cummerbunds or the like the arrange-
ment and construction of the body part or that part which goes round first-with
an extension of suitable length from the lower part of one end thereof and another
extension from the upper part of the other end thereof so that the pass is thus
made substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
4. The improved construction of hunting stocks cravats cummerbunds or the like
substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
