Abstract: A system of manufacturing shirt front assemblies is disclosed wherein a connected series of center plait pattern parts and a series of shirt front pattern parts are fed simultaneously to a sewing machine and sewn together to form a connected series of shirt front assemblies. The connected series of shirt front assemblies are conveyed away from the sewing station through a buffering system to a cutting station where the center plait pattern parts are cut apart and trimmed so as to have their ends coextensive with the edges of the shirt front pattern parts, and the cut-apart series of shirt front assemblies are stacked.
