A lapel support comprises a grip, a loop and a coupling member. The lapel support is for use on a garment that is being supported by a hanger. The hanger comprises a clothes support structure and a rod for suspending the clothes support structure from a rod, for example in a closet. The grip grips the rod of the hanger and is coupled to the coupling member. The coupling member is also coupled to the loop, and maintains tension between the grip and the loop. The loop engages a button on a garment.

A thermally fusible sheetlike structure, especially usable as fusible interlining in the textile industry, has a carrier ply made from a textile material to which has been applied a two-ply adhesive composition structure comprising an underlayer directly adjoining the sheetlike structure and an overlayer disposed upon the underlayer, wherein the underlayer contains a first hotmelt adhesive and the overlayer a second hotmelt adhesive, wherein the first hotmelt adhesive has a melting point of >140 C. and a melt flow index (MFI) value of >50 g/10 minutes (190 C./2.16 kg) and the second hotmelt adhesive a melting point of <145 C. and an MFI value of <50 (190 C./2.16 kg).

A collar shaping device having a U-shaped body adapted to be positioned under the collar of a shirt. The U-shaped body defines a central portion and first and second legs extending therefrom and undulates in a vertical direction. The central portion defines an upper rear contact region that engages the underside of the collar at the midpoint of the central portion. The first and second legs each have a proximate region connected with the central portion and a freely extending distal region. The proximate regions of the first and second legs defines a lower contact region that engages the upper shoulder area of shirt body while the distal regions of the first and second legs defines an upper forward contact region that engages the underside of the collar proximate the forward ends of the collar. Shirt assemblies and methods employing such devices are also disclosed.

Embodiments relate to an apparatus and method for holding a shirt collar in a position and orientation on a shirt front. The apparatus includes a first elongate collar stay adapted for attachment to an inside surface of the shirt collar or positionable within a collar stay pocket of the shirt collar, the first elongate collar stay having a first adherence portion for removable contact with inside surface of the shirt collar or the collar stay pocket; and a second elongate collar stay moveably connected to the first elongate collar stay, the second elongate collar stay adapted for attachment to an outside surface of the shirt opposite the inside surface of the shirt collar and in relation thereto, the second elongate collar stay having a second adherence portion for removable contact with the outside surface of the shirt opposite the inside surface of the collar and in relation thereto.
