Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for modifying the collar of a finished shirt. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when replacing collar parts, plastic hooks are used on the collar and shirt to be replaced, but the thickness of the plastic hooks makes the neck size of the shirt larger, which makes it look bad and impractical, which is the biggest drawback. During face-to-face negotiations, it makes the other party feel uncomfortable, and if you meet face-to-face while wearing such an ugly shirt with a large neck size, the success of the business deal decreases. It is time-consuming to attach a piece of fabric to the neck of the shirt, so manufacturing is impractical. (See Patent Document 1) [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-055238 DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] For this reason, a coil-type zipper is used as the joining material to ensure ease of manufacturing, a natural feeling when wearing the garment with the collar replaced, and a consistent appearance. In addition, because both ends of the collar hang down due to the weight of the shirt itself, synthetic resin hooks are used on both ends of the collar to prevent rust caused by sweat, etc., and metal hooks are not used to prevent metal allergies. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] According to claim 1 How to modify a finished shirt Two finished shirts consisting of the same size collar, collar stand and shirt body. Separate the shirt body from the collar of one finished shirt all around both ends to create a replacement collar. The side that touches the skin is the front collar fabric, and the side that does not touch the skin is the back collar fabric. The collar of the other finished shirt is cut to a size of about 1 cm from the shirt body on both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the shirt body side is used as the collar. The side that touches the skin is the front fabric of the collar stand, and the side that does not touch the skin is the back fabric of the collar stand. The collar stand has a concave or convex hook near both outer ends of the front cloth. A hook recess or hook protrusion is provided near the outer ends of the back fabric, toward the center from the hook recess or hook protrusion of the front fabric. The two zipper bars are placed at the ends of the front and rear fabrics in the approximate center, below the rear fabric. In the interchangeable collar, a zipper box side is provided on the rear cloth between the front cloth and the rear cloth, facing the two zipper bars of the collar stand. A hook recess or hook protrusion is provided on the inside of the front cloth opposite to the hook recess or hook protrusion of the front cloth of the collar stand. A hook recess or hook protrusion is provided on the inside of the back cloth opposite to the hook recess or hook protrusion of the back cloth of the collar stand. The collar stand and the replacement collar are detachably joined together. Effect of the Invention

[0005] The connection area between the replacement collar and the shirt's collar stand is thinner, making the shirt more comfortable to wear, looking better, and more practical. When visiting customers in the summer, sweat can form around the collar and collar stand due to sweat while moving around, and you have to meet with the customer while still sweaty, which makes the customer feel uncomfortable and also makes the person wearing the sweat-stained shirt feel inferior. When visiting a customer, carrying a replacement collar and replacing it with a new one in the washroom or other area before the meeting will give you confidence, avoid causing discomfort to the customer, and increase the chances of closing the deal. If the shirt itself is not very dirty but the collar is very dirty, you can remove and wash only the collar and then attach it to the shirt itself, thereby reducing the number of times the shirt needs to be washed.
