Variable bowtie system and method providing half-bows of different colors which can be chosen and combined, even layered, as desired by the user for one wearing, and with a different choice or combination of colors for another wearing. Chosen half-bow units of desired colors are placed on a mounting-stud pair affixed to a neckband, and are removably secured with a retaining collar, which may also be provided in a variety of colors, resulting in a bowtie having the desired color or color combination for a particular wearing, which can be changed upon another wearing.

The present invention relates to a device for putting on a necktie, and provides a device for putting on a necktie, enabling a necktie to be conveniently and quickly worn since there is no need to tie the necktie in a knotting manner like a normal necktie and, also, allowing a body portion functioning as a necktie knot ornament to sense a difference in material, pattern, and the like, which are different from those of the necktie, thereby enabling individual and new aesthetics to be expressed according to the sensed difference.

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 mechanism for forming and assembling a neck tie including a neck tie formed of three and for enhancement of the aesthetic appearance of a neck tie. The mechanism is a metallic component formed of two pieces and a metallic pin that connects three tie fabric portions together. The neck tie is formed of three fabric pieces that include: (1) the knot of the tie, (2) the string attaching the neck tie around the neck and (3) the body of the neck tie. The mechanism has an upper portion with two side tabs, left and right and a bottom portion with a central tab that connects in between the two side tab portions with a through hole through all of the three of the portions for the insertion of a metallic pin that is soldered at both ends after insertion through the opening of the three tabs. The middle tab is rounded and pivots within a rounded recess between the two upper side tab portions to provide a rotational or pivotal movement of the bottom portion with respect to the upper portion of the mechanism, it he first embodiment the neck tie material is permanently affixed by adhesive material or other known means to the inside of the mechanism. In a second embodiment the neck is removable and replace able form the mechanism and can be adjusted for different lengths depending on the needs of the wearer.

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 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.

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 garment is provided which boasts the ability to simulate an authentic suit jacket, dress shirt, and/or tie for purposes of providing a professional appearance during a video conference call. The garment is configured to open from the back which is easily slipped on and securely attaches to the user's torso.
