PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Means for Attaching Collars to Shirts.
THOMAS DELAMERE Cotton Dealer, 3 Goree Piazzas, Liverpool and ALFRED
Cook, Cotton Salesman 62 Coltart Road Liverpool do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to an improved means for attaching collars to shirts and
is intended to provide an arrangement which can be used in place of the ordinary
buttons or studs used at the back of the neck.
The collar is formed with a slit of suitable length at the back made after the
manner of an ordinary button or stud hole.
On the back of the neck of the shirt a flap of linen or other material is stitched,
preferably about two inches in length. When the collar is to be attached, this
flap is passed through the slit in the back of the collar thereby holding it securely
in position without danger of its coming away from the shirt, as frequently occurs
with the ordinary arrangement owing to the enlargement of the button or
stud hole.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Means for Attaching Collars to Shirts.
We, THOMAS DELAMERE of 3, Goree Piazzas, Liverpool, Cotton Dealer,
and ALFRED COOK of 62, Coltart Road, Liverpool, Cotton Dealer, 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 an improved means for attaching collars to shirts, and
is intended to provide an arrangement which can be used in place of the ordinary
buttons or studs used at the back of the neck.
The collar is formed with a slit of suitable length at the back made after the
manner of an ordinary button or stud hole. On the back of the neck of the shirt a
flap of linen or other material is stitched. When the collar is to be attached, this
flap is passed through the slit in the back of the collar, thereby holding it securely
in position without danger of its coming away from the shirt, as frequently occurs
with the ordinary arrangement, owing to the enlargement of the button or
stud hole.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the neck of the shirt,
Fig. 2 is a view of the collar and
Fig. 3 shows the collar applied.
A is the neck of the shirt having the small flap a at the back, preferably of stiff
linen, having several folds to give the required strength. The collar B as shown
is formed with a slit 6 preferably made slightly open to allow the flap to pass
through projecting below the bottom of the collar, as shown in Fig. 3. The flap

page_text: may also serve to hold the necktie in place, if the latter is passed under it. The
arrangement has been shown as applied to the one form of collar, but it is obvious
that it is equally applicable to other shapes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
An improved means for fastening collars to the necks of shirts, consisting of a
flap on the back of the neck of the shirt, and a slit of suitable width at the back of
the collar through which the flap can be passed, substantially as described and
shown and for the purposes specified.
