new designer in menswear doing research (US patented dress shirt collars)

Fritz · Jun 26, 2007

Eric, there is some nomenclature confusion, in that every shirtmaker can call his collars whatever he wants. I could sell shirts with collars called London, Paris and Tokyo if I wanted to. What is called a "cocktail cuff" by some is called "Bond cuff" by others.

But please, accept the fact that the name "cutaway collar" has been in use for a very long time. That is not changed by the fact that JAB or whoever does not chose to use this word. It's out there, and everyone here except you knows what is meant by it.

Awesome! This thread turned the pataphysician from lurker to poster. Probably the first first post in history everyone can agree with. Welcome pataphysician.

I think he is trying to establish that there is confusion in the marketplace in order to demonstrate that he can legitimately claim intellectual property rights over his patented cutaways, which is more difficult to do if cutaways already exist.

If so, I wouldn't worry about it Eric. I doubt anyone will challenge your patents. And, you also have the nifty tie loop patent. I'm sure this baby will make you a billionaire in no time.

I think that tie is the epitome of Manton's "Attractive Red Tie?" thread.

Actually, I believe that it is a snap.

LSHICB!!! Besides the style, there are other concerns to wearing one of these: community standards!

To add to the argument, I'd like to say that if I'm going to take the trouble to tie a torso-length phallus around my neck to lead females' eyes directly from my face to my ********, I am not going to disrupt the effort by placing a ****** under my chin.

thanks gentlemen for all your lovely responses. if you can get your genitalia out of your heads and knuckles out from dragging in the sand, i hope you might like the newest designs i posted on my website www.ericglennie.com. tell me what you think about my side-bar collars, rear-bar collars , and spliced neckties. does this calm you crazed apes and hopefully speed up evolution. thanks eric.

That would definitely be an ambiguous message. I've never thought of the necktie as pointing southward, as it's usually covered up toward the bottom - however, a collar and tie appear to point to the face like an arrow.
