Shirts having neck size adjusting function

Abstract

A second buttonhole is provided on a front cloth of an inner fold of a neckband. A left end of a rubber tape is stitched on a rear cloth. A moving cloth is stitched on a right end thereof. A lining cloth is stitched on the moving cloth. A right end of the lining cloth is stitched inside the rear cloth of the inner fold of the neckband. An uppermost button is firmly stitched on the moving cloth so as to move inside the second buttonhole. Since the leading end of the neckband inner fold is protruded from the inner fold main body of the shirt, even if the second buttonhole is made long, there is remained a space from the leading end of the second buttonhole to the leading end of the neckband inner fold. Consequently, the sewing work becomes easy. Moreover, it becomes excellent in design by devising a shape of the protruded portion.
