Inventors:

Marc Friedman - Plantation FL, US

International Classification:

A41B003/00

US Classification:

2132

Abstract:

A knitted collar for a shirt and a method for manufacturing such a collar. The collar includes a knitted collar body having a sewing edge adapted to be attached to the shirt, a finished edge and two selvedges. The body has a pocket at each of the two selvedges. The pocket has first and second ends extending approximately from the finished edge to the sewing edge. The pocket is closed at the first end by the finished edge. A stay is disposed in the pocket of each of the two selvedges. The stay has a first end facing the first end of the pocket and a second end facing the second end of the pocket. A stop stitch formed between the first and second ends of the pocket. The stop stitch closes one of the first and second ends of the pocket for substantially preventing the stay from moving within the pocket. A new type of stay with protrusions is also described.

Inventors:

Marc Friedman - Plantation FL, US

International Classification:

D04B 9/42

US Classification:

66173, 66170, 2132, 223 84

Abstract:

For a selected collar stay, i. e. , 0. 375 inches in width, for a shirt knitted with selectively sized wales, i. e. , 0. 10 inches in width, a pocket for the stay also knitted but with selectively narrower wales, i. e. , 0. 025 inches in width, so that predictably a number of wales, i. e. , 14 in number, produces a width of the pocket approximately equal to the width of the stay to minimize movement of the stay within the pocket.
