Abstract
An article of wearing apparel adapted for use as a tie, scarf, neck-piece, hood, belt, or the like, is formed of an elongated fabric member having an intermediate portion and opposite end portions joined together by a respective pair of first and second fabric portions or layers connected at spaced points to define passages therebetween. The first and second fabric portions of each pair are each of a width substantially less than a width of the intermediate portion and the opposite end portions whereby when one of the end portions has been moved through the passage adjacent the other end portion, fabric portions resist attempts to pull the one end portion through said passage.
Claims5
An article of wearing apparel comprising:
- a. an elongated fabric member having an intermediate portion and opposite end portions, said fabric member having opposed side edges;
- b. first and second facing fabric layers, a pair of fabric layers extending between a respective one of the opposite end portions and the intermediate portion of said fabric and connected at spaced points to define a passage, said pair of fabric layers each having opposed side edges having a spacing therebetween less than a spacing between the opposite side edges of said fabric member whereby when the other of the end portions of said fabric member have been moved through the passage adjacent the said end portion for use, said fabric portions provide resistance to pulling of said other end portion through said passage;
- and
- c. a fabric panel having an end edge and a side edge, said fabric panel side edge being joined to said fabric member at one of said side edges thereof in a manner such that said fabric panel and the intermediate portion of said fabric member define a hood.

- and
- c. a pair of fabric layers extending between the other end end portion and the intermediate portion and connected at spaced points to define a second passage;
- d. said fabric member being formed of knitted material;
- e. said fabric layers between the intermediate portion and the opposite end portions being formed of double knitted material to define said first and second passages;
- and
- f. a fabric panel formed of knitted material and having an end edge and a side edge, said fabric panel side edge being joined to said fabric member at one of the side edges thereof in a manner such that said fabric panel and the intermediate portion of said fabric member define a hood.
