Abstract

An element for a garment includes a fused combination formed by a fusible substrate fused on a first substrate at a first temperature, and then folded and then pressed at a second temperature, wherein said second temperature is lower than said first temperature.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . An element for a garment, the element comprising
 a combination formed by a fusible substrate fused on a first substrate at a first temperature, and then folded and then pressed at a second temperature, wherein said second temperature is lower than said first temperature.   
     
     
         2 . The element of  claim 1 , wherein said first substrate comprises a material selected from a group comprising: denim, cotton, cotton blends, wool, wool blends, polyester, polyester blends, spandex, spandex blend, polyester viscose, linen, and linen blend. 
     
     
         3 . The element of  claim 1 , wherein said fusible substrate comprises a second material selected from a group comprising: 45 mm fusible substrates, 47 mm fusible substrates, 80 mm fusible substrates, and 84 mm fusible substrates. 
     
     
         4 . The element of  claim 1 , wherein the element is selected from: waistbands and collar stands. 
     
     
         5 . A collar stand comprising a fusible substrate fused on a first substrate. 
     
     
         6 . The collar stand of  claim 5 , wherein said fusible substrate is fused on a first substrate at a first temperature and then folded and then pressed at a second temperature, wherein said second temperature is lower than said first temperature. 
     
     
         7 . The collar stand of  claim 5 , wherein said first substrate comprises a material selected from a group comprising: denim, cotton, cotton blends, wool, wool blends, polyester, polyester blends, spandex, spandex blend, polyester viscose, linen, and linen blend. 
     
     
         8 . The collar stand of  claim 5 , wherein said fusible substrate comprises a second material selected from a group comprising: 45 mm fusible substrates, 47 mm fusible substrates, 80 mm fusible substrates, and 84 mm fusible substrates. 
     
     
         9 . A waistband comprising a fusible substrate fused on a first substrate. 
     
     
         10 . The waistband of  claim 9 , wherein said fusible substrate is fused on a first substrate at a first temperature and then folded and then pressed at a second temperature, wherein said second temperature is lower than said first temperature. 
     
     
         11 . The waistband of  claim 9 , wherein said first substrate comprises a material selected from a group comprising: denim, cotton, cotton blends, wool, wool blends, polyester, polyester blends, spandex, spandex blend, polyester viscose, linen, and linen blend. 
     
     
         12 . The waistband of  claim 9 , wherein said fusible substrate comprises a second material selected from a group comprising: 45 mm fusible substrates, 47 mm fusible substrates, 80 mm fusible substrates, and 84 mm fusible substrates.
