Abstract
A display former or frame is adapted to receive folded on or about it a garment such as a shirt and has a support for the shirt collar. A locking support frame provides two bars, over one of which a lower or tail portion of the shirt is folded and the other bar has a hook engagement with the upper part of the former frame in order to secure the fully folded shirt on the former. Arms of the hook engagement may have a resilient motion to retain the bar in engagement with the hooks. Gripping means is also shown provided for receiving outer shoulder portions of the shirt to facilitate their folding behind the former and to obtain a taut fit of the shirt about the former.
