A decorative collar bar apparatus for shirt collar includes an ornamental head, an attachment bar, a collar stiffener, a locking encasement. The ornamental head is terminally connected to the attachment bar, and the attachment bar engages with the locking encasement through the collar stiffener. The ornamental head provides an improved esthetic appearance and is visible from outside as the ornamental head covers a collar hole of the shirt collar. The attachment bar, the collar stiffener, and the locking encasement are hidden within the shirt collar, completing an assembly. The collar stiffener is positioned in between the shirt collar and engages in between the attachment bar and the locking encasement in order to stabilize the shirt collar.

A hem insert is adapted for forming an inwardly or outwardly-turned cuff in a garment. The hem insert comprises an elongated flexible strip having opposing ends and opposing longitudinal straight edges. The hem insert is adapted for insertion into a sewn circumferential hem of the garment, and the hem subsequently folded by a wearer to form the cuff.

A garment made from a soft fabric with stiff fabric support elements. A first fabric forms the primary garment, and at least one support panel formed of a second fabric stiffer than the first fabric is affixed with a selected portion of the primary garment to provide additional structure to a feature of the selected portion.

An adjustable length garment is constructed of a fabric and includes garment parts having respective circumferential hems. The garment further includes first and second hem inserts freely positioned within respective hems of the garment parts and unattached to the fabric of the garment. A circumferentially reinforced cuff is adapted for being formed at the hem of each garment part by turning the hem insert upwardly, such that a width of the cuff corresponds substantially to a width of the flexible strip, thereby shortening the garment part by each upward turn of the hem insert, and returning the garment part to its original length by a corresponding downward turn of the hem insert.

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).
