a single piece as is usual when a seamless back isde si'red.' The neck of my improved coat, howevenis cut higher than is now customary, it"bei ng cut so thatthe material of which the part's 'l and 2 is composed, extendsupwardly 'to the line-onwhichthe collar itself is'toiturn, as is represented in the lines aa of; Figures 1 and 2-, the customary out being shown in"line"b'-b of those figures; The, collar itself is made of a single piece of'fabric marked 3, cut to proper shape and havingoneedge'sewe'd around the neck opening of thecoat on the inside tl ereof,it'being folded over thetopl edge of the neck opening left in the pieces 1 and 2. Its free edge maybe, as shown at 4', in Figure 5, turne'd in under, to i provide the necessary finish. ",ltwillrbe seen that by thisconstruction, the" collar 5 proper is composed of asingle thickness, and that no under collar'is used. 'l-hisrenders'the collar very thin and light, and permits it to beheld up by the 'stifl'nes s of the body portionof the coat itself, and for this purpose it is desirable, as shown to work inside of the neck of the pieces 1 and 2 proper stiffening material, extending up to the fold line in the rear, and sloping toward. the front. I This is shown at 5 in Figure 5. This 7 serves as a reinforcement. As a result, I have obtained a collar which is flexible, and which may be easily con-- This invention is directed to the production of a collared coat in which-the labor producing the proper fit at the neckis greatly reduced, and by which a collar having in 5 itself advantages, is obtained.

To this end the material of the coat body is continued upwardly at the neck to the line at which the collar folds, and the collar is applied as a single layer, preferably ofthe 10 self-material of the'coat, to the inside of the fabric of the coat body at the neck and folded down over the-outer edge of the neck opening to the outside of the coat. This produces a collar of a single thickness and obviates the under collar commonly used. The resultant collar is therefore, relatively light, and does not need the stiffening now applied in order to hold it up. In order, however, to stay the front portions of the gore of the collar, I insert within the edge of the collar a tape located adjacent to the point of the collar following the top edge, and extending rearwardly a few inches from each point of the collar. I thus produce a collar of minia staying immediately at the gore. In the drawings,- 7

Figure 1 is a representation of a front piece of a coat cut to embody my invention, the piece being suitable for the production of a mans coatfalthough it will be understood that by changing lines not essential to this invention, it may be suitable to womens wear, or coats and cloaks in general.

My improved coat body proper is composed of the customary number of pieces, namely, two front pieces marked 1, and two back pieces marked 2, it being understood, of'course, that the back may be composed of strained tofollow the desired contour lines of the neck, and this is assured by extending a strip of tape or a stay of. a proper material which is about opposite the gore of the collar. If the coat material is out high forward of the shoulders, taking up the tape at this point, has the effect of causing the collar to snugly fit in front, as well asin back, and

this is aided by the flexibility of the collar Figure 2 is a back half out according to represented'at 6, in Figure 3, along the top this invention. edges of the neck opening of the pieces 1 and Figure 3 is a side view of a coat embodying 2 of the coat, and extending down along the my invention with the collar turned up. lapel front line of the side and front'pieces,

This through the upper part of the coat and 'coltape may be taken up by pleats within the lar and corresponds to Figure 3 with the collining at about the point represented at 7, y 45 lar turned down. 7 5

before referred to. However, there may be a tendency With a collar such as described for the points to be too soft, and I prefer to stay them by stiffening material 8, inserted along the edge of the collar adjacent to the point thereof and along the gore and free edge, extending only a couple of inches back of the point, leavingrthe rest of the collar unstiffened. 7

Having thus described my invention What I claim, anddesire to seeure-byLetters Pat- -ent is 1. A coat having the material of its body portion extending upwardly .at .,the,neck to the fold of the collar and stiffened at the fold line, a tape extending around the collar opening so formed and continuing to the skirts of thevcoat, and a collar of a single thickness unstayed at. the rear and attached to the neck opening of the body portion.

2. A coat having the material of its body portion extending upvfiardlyat the neckto the fold of the collar and stiffened at, the fold line, a stay extendingaro'und the collar opening so formed and continuing to the skirts :of the coat, and a collar unstayed at the rear and attached to the neck opening-of the body portion, and having stiffeners located adj acent to and on both sides of the points of the collar at the edge thereof.

3. As" coat having around the body open-- ing thereof a tape extending around the neck to the skirts thereto and concealed between the outer coat material and'the lining of said coat. Y

In testimony whereof I hereunto my signature.
