y is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in neckwear, consisting of a neckband and two tying ends by which the manufacture there.

of is simplified, while retaining every advantage of a more complicated manufacture, and an article of daily use is produced in a form which combines economy of fabric, simplicity of construction, ease in adjustment and attractiveness.

Heretofore neckwear has been constructed 1) without lining, mea-nin by that afecing of a material different rom that in the necktie itself, which when in use is on the side of the tie nearer the wearers neck,

` thus causingl a waste of the material of ;more substantial when tied.

which the necktie itself is made; (2) with a lining throughout or 3) with an interlining between the plies o tlienecktie throughout. It has been found that an advantage lay with having the interlining pass between the plies of the scarf throughout, which advantage is increased by having that part of the interlining which ordinarily passes through the neck band, pass, instead,

outside and for the. entire length of the4 neckband and attached thereto, while the remainder of the interlining passes between the plies of the tying ends. As the interlinin does not show to the eye unless the necktie is cut apart, it has not been a mat-ter of concern whether the fabric of which it has been constructed were of any particularly attractive material. As the lining, however, has throughout, formed the facing of the necktie which was visible tok the eye, except when in use around the neck, it was and is necessary to make such lining of at-l lractive material, more or less in harmony with the material constituting the main tic. It was found that vin the use of lining only, it was advantageous to place a pad of soft material as an interlining in the tying ends yof the necktie, so as to make the bow or vknot formed in tying the neclitie fullerand lt was found also that if an interlining of uniformly thin f material were used throughout, advantage was gained by either overlaying the part of,

the interlining inthe tying ends with soft material, or by joining to a thin interlining in the neckband, an interlining of softer ma-A terial in the tying ends, byA stitching.

It to embody the 'improvements I have named in simple, new form, containing all the advantages and avoiding what is objectionable, that have made the improvements herein claimed, by making 'in one piece, which shall be continuous, or in severalv pieces, whichl by' end-stitching, shall .be

practically continuous, a necktie in which the piece stated, conforming substantially.

to the shape of the necktie throughout, shall be an interlinin pas/sing inside of the plies of the tying en vs and a lining on the Aoutside of and the entire lengthv of the neckband, consisting of the same material throughout, or of different material where visible to the eye, or overlaid in the. tyi'ngends with suitable soft. material, stitchedtherete'.

In the drawings L show in Figure 1, the form of interlining B attached to the Alining A by stitching at C, and in Fig. 2 the same with lining and interlining in one -piee In Figs 6 ahd 9 I show a cross-section of the one-piece affair with an overlaid piece H in the tying ends. Figs. 5 and 6 are crosssections of Figs. 1, and 2 with overlaid` pieces. Figs. 3 and 4t are-forms of the necktie' by severaly modifications and Figa 7 8 and f) are cross-sections thereof.

Referring to the drawings E represents the tying ends formed bythe plies M of suitable material in which an interlining t or B is placed, either alone or with a softer material H overlaid thereon.

o represents 'the neckband connected with the tying ends, and upon it is the lining A, attached thereto by stitching p, and. attached at the ends of said lining A', at C, by stitching to the interlining B and entering the plies of the tying ends M at the hole or slit o; or if the lining and interlinin are of one piece by carrying the lining t irough the hole or slit c into the tying ends formed by` the plies M and forming the interlining thereof. In the latter case, 'if the lining be of thinner material, it may be overlaid in the tying ends where it becomes an interlining with softer inateril H; The slit c is placed at the point where the neckband lining either joins to its interlining or passes through in the same material to bccome'an interlining.y

Tn practice it is found best to make the inllO portion ot' the lining which is exposed on the' i neckband of the tie, to slide freely on the collar, and also so that it may if desired be used for stamping thereon the label of the manufacturer or seller or both.

Throughout the neckband 0 shown in Figs. 3, 4, G, 7, 8 and 9 maybe 'one-ply or two-ply as may be preferred and my improvenients as shown in those figures do not rely upon the form of the neekband as to plies. My improvement can be used either with or Without a reinforcing piece placed between the plies of the neckband and stitched thereto. The use of both single-ply and two-ply in the neclband and the use also of a reinforcing piece of interlining in the neckband have been known to the trade for manv years.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. The combination With a necktie comprising a neckband and tying ends, said tyingends formed of two-ply fabric, a continuous lining piece of substantially the length of the necktie, the neckban'd portion of said lining comprising thin and smooth materlal; the two tying ends ot the continuous hnmg-pi'ece passing between'the plies of the tying ends and the necliband portion f of the lining being completely exposed and extending over the entire. length `ofthe neckmediate section formed of thin and smooth material, each of the other two sections passing respectively between the plies of the tying ends, the said intermediate section heilig joined to the other two sections by endstitching and passing over the outside and i entire length of the neckband and fastened thereto by stitching, the three sections ot' tlnx lining forming substantially one continuous piece.

n testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification m theA presence ot tWo subscrlbing witnesses.
