Abstract: A unitary article of apparel includes a shirt portion having a dyed portion thereon. The dyed portion is in the shape of a tie, so as to create a combination shirt and tie. This combination is machine washable. The dyed portion has a fastener means formed therein which permits the shirt portion to be opened and closed (as desired) for use as casual wear or formal wear, respectively. In one embodiment, the dye comprises a "puffed" ink dye, thereby providing a three-dimensional effect and contributing to the realism.
