IMPROVEMENTS APPLICABLE TO SHIRTS AND OTHER ARTICLES OF WEARING APPAREL
Year: 1884

page_text: We WILLIAM WHYTE MURRAY of 10 Norfolk Street Manchester in the County
of Lancaster and JOHN LORRIMER of Park Hill House Aylestone in the County of
Leicester Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
IMPROVEMENTS APPLICABLE TO SHIRTS AND OTHER ARTICLES OF WEARING
APPAREL to be as follows:-
"
This invention relates to the manufacture of shirts, jackets, jerseys, and other
articles of wearing apparel for clothing the upper part of the body, the object of
the invention being to enable the same shirt or other article to be worn either with
a turnover collar, or with a neckband to which a loose collar of any form can be
attached, or not as preferred.
The shirt, jacket or other garment is made with an ordinary neckband of any
desired shape or material (sewn on or attached in the usual manner) and inside
this we sew or otherwise attach a turnover collar (also of any desired shape or
material).
When the shirt or other garment is to be worn with a turnover collar outside
the latter lies over, and conceals the neck band entirely, but when the turnover
collar is not intended to be seen it is folded inside and forms a lining to the
shoulder part of the shirt or garment, leaving the latter with an ordinary
neckband to which a loose collar can be attached in the ordinary way if required.
The shirt, jersey, jacket, or other garment is thus made with a combination of a
turnover collar and a neck-band, either of which may be made visible whilst the
other is concealed, as may be desired.

We WILLIAM WHYTE MURRAY of 10 Norfolk Street Manchester in the County
of Lancaster and JOHN LORRIMER of Park Hill House Aylestone in the County of
Leicester Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS APPLICABLE TO SHIRTS AND OTHER ARTICLES OF WEARING
APPAREL " 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 the manufacture of shirts, jackets, jerseys, and other
articles of wearing apparel for clothing the upper part of the body, the object of
the invention being to enable the same shirt or other article to be worn either with
a turnover collar or with a neckband to which a loose collar of any form can
be attached, or not, as preferred.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood we have annexed a sheet
of drawing illustrating the application thereof to a shirt.
Fig. 1. shows the collar of a shirt made according to our invention, the turnover
collar being outside.
Fig. 2 is a section through the collar, the turnover collar in this case being
shown as folded inside the shirt and not intended to be seen.
The shirt, jacket, or other garment is made with an ordinary neckband a, a of
any desired shape or material (sewn on or attached in the usual manner) and
inside this we sew or otherwise attach a turnover collar b, b (also of any desired
shape or material).
When the shirt or other garment is to be worn with the turnover collar a, a
outside (see Fig. 1) the latter lies over, and conceals the neckband b, b, but when
the turnover collar a, a is not intended to be seen it is folded inside and forms a
lining to the shoulder part of the shirt or garment (see Fig. 2,) leaving the latter
with an ordinary neckband b, b to which a loose collar can be attached in the
ordinary way if required.
The shirt, jacket, jersey or other garment is thus made with a combination of a
turnover collar, and a neck-band, either of which may be made visible whilst the
other is concealed, as may be desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
A shirt, jersey, jacket or other garment made with a combination of a turn over
collar and a neckband substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by
the drawing.
