PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Collar and Tie or Scarf.
I, JAMES PRENTICE of 31 Addle Street, London E.C., Tie Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object a combined collar and tie, or collar and scarf, and
is especially designed for use while hunting or taking riding exercise, and for like
purposes.
I construct a shirt collar which opens behind instead of in front, placing a
button-hole in front to fasten it to the front stud or button of the shirt and another
button-hole behind, out of the centre. The ends of the collar do not cross or lap
over at back, but are arranged to simply meet together.
To one end of the collar I sew or attach, either removably or otherwise, one
half of the tic or scarf. To the other end of the collar I attach the other half of
the tie or scarf in such a way that it is connected only at its upper and lower
corners, thus leaving an opening in the centre which forms a loop for the other
half of the tie to pass through. The two halves of the tie or scarf cross each
other at the back of the neck, one passing through the loop before-mentioned; and
are brought round to the front where they are tied or folded together in the usual
way.
By partly drawing back one end of the tie, the collar opens sufficiently to allow
it to pass over the wearer's head, so that it can be put on or taken off with great
ease and quickness, and as the loop adjustment behind can be arranged before
putting on the collar, there is no difficulty in obtaining a good appearance.
also impossible for the tie to ride above the collar behind, and yet the tie can be
placed high enough to hide the joint in the collar.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Collar and Tie or Scarf.
I, JAMES PRENTICE of 31 Addle Street, London, E.C., Tie Manufacturer, 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 is designed to provide for equestrians and others a collar and
necktie which is devoid of any tendency to become disarranged and uncomfortable
in use.
It consists of a combined collar and tie, or collar and scarf and is especially
suitable for use while hunting or taking riding exercise and for like purposes.
I construct a shirt collar which opens behind instead of in front, placing a
button-hole in front to fasten it to the front stud or button of the shirt and
another button hole behind, out of the centre. The ends of the collar do not
cross or lap over at back but are arranged to simply meet or nearly meet
together.
To one end of the collar I sew or attach either removably or otherwise one
half of the tie or scarf. To the other end of the collar I attach the other half
of the tie or scarf in such a way that it is connected only at its upper and lower
corners, thus leaving an opening in the centre which forms a loop for the other half

page_text: of the tie to pass through. The two halves of the tie or scarf cross each other at
the back of the neck, one passing through the loop before-mentioned; and are
brought round to the front where they are tied or folded together in the usual
way.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawing in
which
Fig. 1 shows a back view of my combined collar and necktie, the latter being
broken off at a short distance from the collar.
a, is the right side of the collar.
a', is the left side of the same.
b, is the part of the necktie which is attached to a¹, in such a manner as to form
the loop d, at the back end of the collar.
c, is the other part of the necktie which is fastened to the right side a, of the
collar, and which passes through the loop d.
It will be seen that by partly drawing back the end of the tie C, which passes
through the aforesaid loop d, the collar opens sufficiently to pass over the wearer's
head, so that it can be put on or taken off with great ease and quickness, and as
the loop adjustment d, can be arranged before putting on the collar by passing the
end of the tie c, through the loop d, there is no difficulty in obtaining a good
appearance. It is also impossible for the tie to ride above the collar behind,
and yet the tie can be placed high enough to hide the joint in the collar.
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 :-
A combined collar and tie, or collar and scarf, either removably or permanently
attached to each other, the said collar opening behind and having at the back a
loop arrangement as herein described and set forth.
