  • Two-ply neck collar and method for making same
    Patent number: 6611960
    Abstract: A neck collar and method are described for a two-ply neck collar for attachment to a neck opening of a garment body to help maintain a proper shape along the neck line. In one embodiment, the two-ply neck collar is made of two strips of knitted fabric material. The two strips of fabric material is sewn together along the top edge portions thereof such that one strip is lying flat against the other strip to form a joined unit. The joined unit is then opened flat to define two side edge portions with the stitched portion disposed extending longitudinally between to the two side edge portions. The joined unit is folded after being opened flat such that the two side edge portions are aligned with the stitched portion facing outward, after which, the two side edge portions are sewn together to form a tubular unit. Finally, the neck collar is formed by turning at least a portion of the tubular unit over the stitched portion.
