THREE-FOLD TIE WITH BODY FOLDED TWICE BY GATEFOLD

Abstract

The present invention relates to a tie invented to allow more people to experience the elegant knot of a seven-fold tie. The knot of a seven-fold tie presents distinctive elegance. However, it is difficult for many people to enjoy a seven-fold tie due to the high price thereof. As a result of disassembling a seven-fold tie and analyzing same, it was found that the reason for the high production cost of a seven-fold tie is mostly due to a blade portion and a tail portion, not a body portion where the knot is made. As such, invented is a tie in which the blade portion and the tail portion are transformed into the structure of a three-fold tie which the body portion is maintained to have the structure of a seven-fold tie. Through the invented product, the same knot as that of a seven-fold tie can be experienced. However, by reducing production costs, more people will be able to experience the elegant knot of a seven-fold tie.
