A necktie system includes a necktie that may be worn around a neck of a user. A first fastener is attached to the necktie and a pair of cups is provided. Each of the cups is matable such that the pair of cups forms a housing. The housing has the necktie extended therethrough such that the housing retains the necktie around the user's neck. A second fastener is attached to the one of the cups. The first fastener removably engages the second fastener such that the housing is retained in the necktie.

A clip assembly to fasten a looped item to a necktie comprising: a main body, where the main body is comprised of two portions, a first portion and a second portion, where the first portion and the second portion engage a knot of the necktie; a hinge pivotably securing the first portion and the second portion, where the hinge moves the first portion and the second portion between a first position, and a second position; and a securing portion affixed to the main body, where the securing portion fastens the looped item against a knot of the necktie.

An endless neck tie. In one embodiment an endless loop of fabric of varying width includes a relatively narrow segment providing a neckband, and a first blade and a second blade of variable width extending in opposite directions along the loop and away from the neckband. At least a first transition region, between the blades or between the neck band and the blades, is of such narrow width relative to the blade width that the transition region accepts at least a first knot which defines a constricted region of the endless neck tie between the neck band and the blades.

A three-fold tie with a body folded twice by a gatefold, includes: a body of fabric where body part fabric is folded once by a gatefold and folded once more by a gatefold so that both ends overlap; a blade portion of fabric where sword-shaped blade part fabric is folded once by a gatefold so that both ends overlap and fabric part of the overlapped upper end is folded inward once more; and a tail portion of fabric where sword-shaped tail part fabric is folded once by a gatefold so that both ends overlap and fabric part of the overlapped upper end is folded inward once more.

A decorative cover that removably attaches to a typical knot associated with a necktie positioned around and under the collar of a shirt. The cover is sized and shaped to hide the knot of the necktie from view while the tie is being worn. Winged portions of the cover tuck under the edges of the collar of the shirt. The tail end of the tie extends below the lower edge of the decorative cover down the front of the shirt as typical. The mechanism for attachment of the cover to the knot includes a closeable clasp secured on the back of the cover that extends up from the base of the cover to engage the fabric material making up the front of the necktie knot. The top-opening clasp is slid up around the fabric knot front piece and is then closed to secure the cover and restrict its movement.

Disclosed is a necktie including a shell forming an exterior surface of the necktie, an interlining positioned within the shell, a magnet, and a flexible magnetic member. The shell includes a first blade portion and a first tail portion, and the interlining includes a second blade portion and a second tail portion that aligns with the first blade portion and the second blade portion, respectively. The magnet is affixed to a tip of the second tail portion, and the flexible magnetic member is affixed along a length of the second blade portion. When worn, the magnet is magnetically attracted to the flexible magnetic member, securing the first blade portion to the first tail portion.
