PARTIDIONAL DEDITATION,
Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Hunting or the
like Scarves.
GEORGE THOMAS BRADFORD, of 37A, Duke Street, St. James, in the County of
London, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention relates to the method of manufacturing scarves for neck wear
in hunting, or other like use, the objects to be attained in which are mainly
closeness and evenness of fit, whilst avoiding the eccessive rigidity of a highly
starched linen collar.
According to my present invention I make my improved hunting or like
scarf so that whilst the comforts of the present materials used may be retained,
a better fit may be secured with adjustability to a certain extent to variations of
size of neck of wearer without sacrificing either comfort in wear, or neatness of
appearance.
This is attained by so shaping the middle portion of the scarf, that actually
surrounds the neck of the wearer, that it shall lay flatly against it, providing a
cut away part where the crossing of the scarf takes place, at the side of the
wearer's neck, narrow portions that come at the front where the tying takes place
and broader ends that are arranged to be secured by a pin, or otherwise.
Suitable tabs at front and back serve as means of security for the scarf against
shifting of the scarf from its arranged position-except within a very limited
range, such tabs being arranged on the inner side of the scarf and so as to be
invisible in use, whilst the hold attained thereby on the studs in the collar of
the shirt prevent the scarf from riding up at the back, in any stooping movement of
the wearer.
For the sake of explanation of the particular construction adopted I will give
the following precise instance of the method followed in determining the contour
of a scarf according to my invention, assuming that a collar for a wearer using
a 15 inches neck measurement is required:-
I will proceed to indicate more precisely the dimensions and contour by the
aid of the following explanation the numbers being only used for imaginary points
to aid the comprehension of the construction.
Supposing the scarf to be laid flat in front of the observer with the inside, or
part which will be next to the neck of the wearer, uppermost and the top edge
furthest from the observer. Commencing from the left as the scarf then lies
from a point which I will call 1, the scarf is 37 wide and continues of that width
for 16" to a line 2. It then begins to gradually narrow from both top and bottom
edges to a line 3 which is the narrowest part and is distant from 2, 4%. It
then continues in a straight line with a width of 1" to a line 4 a distance of 43".
The bottom edge still continues in a straight line to a line 5, 3" from 4. The
top edge slopes upwards by two curves in the shape of a blunt letter S to the same
line 5 the width of the scarf here being 27. At the distance of 1" from 5 is

ting N¹, P1, at N³.

In P P take a point Ps 15" from P and a point P³ a like distance from P¹
Join N, P and NP by easy curves curving inwards towards one another or other
lines, cut along the lines N to N, N¹ to N, N³ to P³, 1³ to P³, P to N³, N2 to N.
From this pattern cut another. Then fasten by stitching or otherwise the
edge P3 P² to the edge of the body of the scarf marked X T and correspondingly
the other pattern to the edge of the body of the scarf marked Y, V.
The scarf is then complete.

Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Hunting or the
like Scarves.
I, GEORGE THOMAS BRADFORD, of 11, Hadyn Park Road, Shepherd's Bush, London,
West, formerly of 37A, Duke Street, Piccadilly, London, Gentleman, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
-
This invention relates to the method of manufacturing scarves for neck wear
in hunting or other like use, the objects to be attained in which are mainly
closeness and evenness of fit whilst avoiding the excessive rigidity of a highly
starched linen collar.
According to my present invention I make my improved hunting or like
scarf so that whilst the comforts of the present materials used may be retained,
a better fit may be secured with adjustability to a certain extent to variations of
size of neck of wearer without sacrificing either comfort in wear or neatness of
appearance.
This is retained by so shaping the middle portion of the scarf that actually
surrounds the neck of the wearer that it shall lay flatly against it, providing a
cut away part where the crossing of the scarf takes place, at the side of the
wearer's neck, narrow portions that come at the front where the tying takes place
and broader ends that are arranged to be secured by a pin or otherwise.
Suitable tabs at front and back serve as a means of security for the scarf against
shifting of the scarf from its arranged position, except within a very limited
range, such tabs being arranged on the inner side of the scarf and so as to be
invisible in use, whilst the hold attained thereby on the studs in the collar of
the shirt prevent the scarf from riding up at the back, in any stooping movement
of the wearer.
For the sake of explanation of the particular construction adopted I will give
the following precise instance of the method followed-in determining the contour
of a scarf according to my invention, assuming that a collar for a wearer using
a 15 inches neck measurement is required:
I will proceed to indicate more precisely the dimensions and contour by the
aid of the following explanation the numbers being only used for imaginary points
to aid the comprehension of the construction.
Supposing the scarf to be laid flat in front of the observer with the inside, or
part which will be next to the neck of the wearer uppermost and the top edge
furthest from the observer. Commencing from the left as the scarf then lies

page_text: distant from S 1¼". Cut a piece away with apex at O but equal quantities to
be taken from each side of O S¹ and extreme length or width of piece cut away
not to exceed 1/4".
REMAINDER OF SCARF.
On another piece of cloth or paper draw a straight line N P 20% more or less
and a parallel line 3" distant from N and l' drop perpendiculars cutting this line
at N, P. In N P take a point №2 16" from N. Drop a perpendicular cut-
ting N
P₁ at N³. In PP take a point 2 1/16" from P and a
point P³ a like distance from P¹ Join NP and NP3 by easy curves
curving inwards towards one another, or other lines, cut along the the
lines to N, № to No, N3 to 13, 13 to P³, P2 to №2, N2 to N. From
this pattern cut another. Then fasten by stitching or otherwise the edge P³ Pa
to the edge of the body of the scarf marked X T and corresponding by the other
pattern to the edge of the body of the scarf marked Y V.
The scarf is then complete.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is -
1. That the crossing of the scarf takes place at the side instead of at the back
as is done in the present form of scarf. By this means all ungainly collection of
material at the point of crossing is avoided, and the scarf lies more evenly against
the wearer's neck.
2. That the crossing is effected by means of a cut away part, in one side of
the scarf, into which cut away part the other side fits. In the present form of
scarf tue crossing is generally effected by means of a slit in one side of the scarf
through which the other side passes.
3. That the scarf is held in position and kept from riding up by means of two
tabs, one at the back and one at the front, which fasten to the back and front studs
of the shirt.
4. That these tabs being fastened to the body of the scarf by their extreme top
ends only allow of play to the right or left. So that the scarf may be tightened
or loosened to the full extent of these tabs without disarranging the position of
the scarf.
