DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide tie space and/or foot systems for men's shirt collars. More specifically, the shirt collar may be designed to create a tie space between the shirt collar and the tie space and/or foot system.
[0028] FIGS. 1A-1E depict a shirt collar with a false lapel sewn to the inside/back band of the shirt collar to create a tie space between shirt collar and the false lapel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As depicted herein, the final seams/stitching of the false lapel on both its left and right ends may end approximately two (2) centimeters from the final seam/stitching of the shirt collar on both ends of the shirt collar. This embodiment can be made without interlining, using a regular thickness interlining, or using a thin thickness interlining between the inner and outer bands of the shirt collar. The shirt collar pieces may be cut into four pieces. Other pieces of fabric may be cut to make a false flap. The final edges of the false flap may be made without hemming, with hemming/stitching, or laser cut as appropriate. The interlining may be cut and places between the shirt collar pieces. The false lapel's edges may be folded and sewn. The pieces of the collar, the interlining, and the false flap may be linked (i.e., join the pieces of the collar, the interlining, and the false flap, and sew all the pieces linking them by the edges to form the collar of the shirt). The shirt collar may then be turned and topstitched. The shirt collar may be sewn to the foot of the shirt collar. This embodiment may hold and keep the tie in its proper position, avoiding any malfunction of the tie.
[0029] FIGS. 2A-2H depict a shirt collar that incorporates either two, three, four, or five holes/apertures, whether on a square, oval, or semi-oval shape, made into the inside/reverse band of the shirt collar according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Each hole/aperture made into the inside/reverse band of the shirt collar may measure approximately four (4) centimeters high by four (4) centimeters wide. The holes/apertures may be made either with laser cutting technology and/or in any other feasible way possible. This embodiment can be executed without interlining, using a regular thickness interlining, or using a thin thickness interlining between the inner and outer bands of the shirt collar. Accordingly, this embodiment may create a tie space between the inside band/back of the shirt collar and the outside band/front of the shirt collar. The shirt collar pieces may be cut into four pieces total. Either two, three, four, or five holes/apertures may be created in either square, oval, or semi-oval shapes on the piece of fabric that will be used as the inside/reverse band of the shirt collar. The final edges of the holes/apertures may be made without hemming, with hemming/stitching, or laser cut as appropriate. The interlining may be cut and placed between the shirt collar pieces. The pieces of the collar and the interlining may be joined (i.e., link the shirt collar and the interlining. Sew all the pieces linking them by the edges to form the shirt collar). The shirt collar may be turned and topstitched. The shirt collar may be sewn to the foot of the shirt collar. The holes/apertures made into the inside/reverse band of the shirt collar may be incorporated successively, one next to the other, in the number deemed appropriate, whether two, three, four, or five. The holes/apertures incorporated at the ends of the inside/reverse band of the shirt collar may be incorporated at a distance of approximately two (2) centimeters of the final seam/backstitch of the left and right ends of the shirt collar. Then the rest of the holes/apertures can be successively incorporated, each hole/aperture having a distance between each of them that will vary as follows: if two holes/apertures are made, they will have a distance between them of approximately thirty (30) centimeters; if three holes/apertures are made, they will have a distance between them of approximately thirteen (13) centimeters; if four holes/apertures are made, they will have a distance between them of approximately eight (8) centimeters; and if five holes/apertures are made, they will have a distance between them of approximately four point five (4.5) centimeters.
