Benefits of technology

[0010] It is an object of this invention to provide an element that can be used around the inside of a collar of a shirt and will assist the wearer in achieving the utmost comfort during the wearing thereof, especially when a tie is used in conjunction thereto. It is yet another object to provide such an easily used element that can be manufactured within the shirt and thus provide collar stiffness during the sale thereof or can be added later on an existing shirt.

Problems solved by technology

Since the neck of the user is not perfectly round, the collar, having been manufactured in a perfect circle, does not always fit quite right.
Additionally, if the tie is pulled up too tightly, unsightly wrinkles can occur and there can be more discomfort for the user.
However, this invention does not address the way the collar sits around the neck nor to any problems associated with the use of a tie therewith.
They are generally removed during the washing of the shirt and do nothing to address the matter of the tie adjustment and possible bunching around the neck when wearing a tie.
This element does nothing to improve the fit or feel of the collar itself.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Looking now specifically at the drawings, FIG. 1 is a showing of a collar from a men's dress shirt, for example, where the entire collar is shown open and exposed as 1. The two pointed ends of the collar are shown as 2 and 3 and the inside of the collar, the portion that fits around the neck of the wearer, as 4. A closure device to close the collar around the neck is shown as a button 5 and a button hole 6. A slot opening 7 is designed to hold a stiffening agent 8 shown by dotted lines as inserted with the slot via slot opening 7. Vertically sewn in stops are shown by dotted lines 9 and 10. Conventionally, the spacing between stops 9 and 10 and the ends of the neck-contacting surface of the collar is about 1¼ to 2 inches. The stiffening agent 8 is conventionally about ⅛th to ½ inches in width. When this collar is folded down, the pointed ends 2 and 3 will point in a downward position against the body of the shirt (not shown in this drawing).
