Abstract
An interliner for a necktie includes a warp having yarns with different twist directions and hardness and a filling having yarns with different twist directions and hardness. Each hard yarn comprises a blend of fibers ranging in denier from about 8 to 15 and has a twist of about 7 to 10 turns per inch. Each soft yarn comprises a blend of fibers ranging in denier from about 3 to about 6 and has a twist of about 4-6 turns per inch. The yarns are sequentially arranged such that the twist direction and hardness sequence in the warp is the same as the twist direction and hardness sequence in the filling. In this way, the interliner provides crease resistance, cupping resistance and stretch control to the tie, while adding to the quality of the "hand" of the tie.
Claims19
A necktie comprising:
- an outer casing;
- and
- an interliner disposed in said outer casing, said interliner comprising a warp and a filling that are interwoven, said warp including hard and soft yarns and said filling including hard and soft yarns, each hard yarn comprising a blend of fibers ranging in denier from about 8 to 15 and having a twist of about 7 to 10 turns per inch, each soft yarn comprising a blend of fibers ranging in denier from about 3 to 6 and having a twist of about 4 to 6 turns per inch.
An interliner for a necktie, said interliner comprising:
- a warp including yarns having different twist directions and hardness, said yarns having different hardness including hard and soft yarns, each hard yarn comprising a blend of fibers ranging in denier from about 8 to 15 denier and having a twist of about 7 to 10 turns per inch, each soft yarn comprising a blend of fibers ranging in denier from about 3 to 6 denier and having a twist of about 4 to 6 turns per inch;
- and
- a filling including yarns having different twist directions and hardness, said yarns having different hardness including hard and soft yarns, each hard yarn in the filling comprising a blend of fibers ranging in denier from about 8 to 15 denier and having a twist of about 7 to 10 turns per inch, each soft yarn in the filling comprising a blend of fibers ranging in denier from about 3 to 6 denier and having a twist of about 4 to 6 turns per inch.
A method of making an interliner comprising of steps of:
- providing a warp comprising yarns that vary in twist direction and hardness;
- weaving filling yarns into the warp such that the filling yarns also vary in twist direction and hardness, wherein the twist direction and hardness sequence in the filling is arranged in the same manner as in the warp;
- and
- cutting the interwoven warp and filling on the bias to form lengths of interliner fabric having a width suitable for coupling to the interior of the outer casing of a necktie.
