A pre-knotted adjustable necktie eliminates the difficulty of tying a knot with a panel of flexible material, and preserves the adjustability of a conventional necktie. The pre-knotted adjustable necktie includes: a panel of flexible material, having a proximal blade end portion, a distal tail end portion, and a middle portion; a passage through the flexible material at a location in the tail end portion proximate to the middle portion; a coupling member connecting edges of the middle portion to form a first loop; a knot having the tail end portion extending through the first loop to form a second loop, and the blade end portion extended through the first loop to form a third loop; and a neck loop formed by an extension of the tail end portion through the second loop and the third loop, and the tail end portion further extended through the passage.

One embodiment of a thin, flat, and angular triangular device for an improved necktie having on one edge a lead-in notch (10) which merges into a button passage (12) before merging into a cove (22). Two bridges (14), made of a flexible material so that they can be repeatedly bent without fracturing, are on ledges on top of the opposite edge from the lead-in notch (10). An untied, shortened necktie (30) is threaded through a false knot (24) and then threaded through the tie slot (26) at the top of the device. This allows the necktie to be joined to the Tiekeeper (28) device. This necktie device slides over the top shirt button by way of the lead-in notch and button passage before resting in the cove on top of the threads of the shirt's top button. Other embodiments are described and shown.

A tie knot system, including a necktie and a tie knot member with an interior and first and second upper apertures and a lower aperture, including an inner knot member positioned in the interior, such that a narrow tail of the necktie protrudes through the lower aperture and out of the first upper aperture and loops back via the second upper aperture and out of the lower aperture. The inner knot member can be made of a resilient material, have elongated openings, and can be folded and assembled from a tie knot sheet, including a bridge portion and left and right elongated portions.

A modular necktie with simulated knot detachably affixable to a fabric stem and elongated fabric tie, the knot enclosure comprising a microphone and wireless transmission means in some embodiments. The knot enclosure may comprise a ratcheting mechanism and may be formed from a plurality of interconnected components.

A tie fastener for retaining a tie in a desired configuration without knotting includes a housing that defines an interior space. Each of a pair of holes is positioned through a respective opposing side of the housing. An orifice is positioned through a bottom of the housing. A coupler is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the interior space. The orifice and the holes are positioned in the housing such that each hole is configured to insert a respective end of a tie such that the tie passes through the interior space. The orifice is configured to allow the two ends of the tie to be extended from the housing. The coupler is configured to couple to the tie to retain the tie in a desired configuration without requiring the tie to be knotted.

A necktie is disclosed. The necktie includes a knot portion that can be secured at or around a neck of a wearer. The knot portion includes a simulated knot having a front loop and a first attachment mechanism positioned on the simulated knot and covered by the front loop. The first attachment mechanism is accessible via an opening. The necktie also includes a blade portion. The blade portion includes a second attachment mechanism that can releasably attach to the first attachment mechanism.

A jacket, tie and shirt combination may include a front jacket panel; a back jacket panel integrally connected to the front jacket panel; a front shirt panel to cooperate with the front jacket panel and the back jacket panel; and an adjustable tie to cooperate with the front shirt panel and the front jacket panel to expand and contract in length.

A modular necktie includes a knot enclosure having an attachment channel, a fabric stem that is configured to insert into the attachment channel, and a tie portion that is secured to the fabric stem such that the tie portion extends downwardly from the knot enclosure when the fabric stem is inserted into the attachment channel. The knot enclosure can couple to a wearer's shirt in various ways including via a recess that is configured to receive a button of a wearer's shirt or via lateral collar wings that allow a collar band or ratcheting strips to be used. Various types of electronic components can be included in the knot enclosure.
