Abstract
A reversible necktie according to one embodiment includes first and second fabric pieces that have matching necktie shapes. Each of the fabric pieces has a finished face side, a wide end, longitudinal edges and a narrow end. The fabric pieces are superimposed in mating relationship with the finished sides facing outward, wherein each of the first and second fabric pieces is formed of a first section that has a first appearance and a second section that has a second appearance that is visually different from the first appearance. The first and second sections are joined together along a seam. The first section of first fabric piece overlies the second section of the second fabric piece and the second section of the first fabric piece overlies the first section of the first fabric piece.
Claims18
A reversible necktie comprising:
- first and second fabric pieces that have matching necktie shapes, each of the fabric pieces having a finished face side, a wide end, longitudinal edges and a narrow end, the fabric pieces being superimposed in mating relationship with the finished sides facing outward, wherein each of the first and second fabric pieces is formed of a first section that has a first appearance and a second section that has a second appearance that is visually different from the first appearance, the first and second sections being joined together along a seam, the first section of first fabric piece overlying the second section of the second fabric piece and the second section of the first fabric piece overlying the first section of the first fabric piece.
A method of manufacturing a reversible necktie comprising the steps of:
- providing a first fabric piece having a necktie shape and having a finished face side that has a first appearance, a wide end and a narrow end;
- providing a second fabric piece having a necktie shape and having a finished face side that has a second appearance, a wide end and a narrow end;
- superimposing the first fabric piece on the second fabric with the wide ends being at one end and the narrow ends at the other end and the finished face sides facing one another;
- forming an interlining layer having a necktie shape having a wide end and a narrow end and a layer of second material that has a necktie shape and includes a wide end and narrow end, the layer of second material having dimensions greater than dimensions of the interlining layer;
- superimposing the interlining layer on the layer of second material such that both wide ends are near one another and attaching the interlining layer to the layer of second material to form a first layered structure;
- superimposing the first layered structure on the superimposed first and second fabric pieces with the layer of second material being in contact with and overlying the first fabric piece;
- attaching the layer of second material to the superimposed first and second fabric pieces such that the interlining layer remains free and unattached to the first and second fabric pieces to form a second layered structure;
- and
- everting the second layered structure so that the first and second finished sides face outward.
