COLLAR CONSTRUCTION FOR AN UPPER-BODY GARMENT

Abstract:

Aspects herein are directed to an upper-body garment having a collar construction formed from a back collar panel and at least one front collar panel, where each of the back collar panel at the front collar panel comprise terminal ends. The terminal ends of the front collar panel and the back collar panel are in an overlapping relationship at a first side and a second side of a neck opening of the upper-body garment. The terminal ends of the front collar panel are detached from the terminal ends of the back collar panel to provide enhanced stretch at the lateral sides of the neck opening when donning and doffing the upper-body garment.
