For the'sake of con shorten the length of the tie A either after ing of the tie upon the apron portion 16 of or prior to the positionthe retainer, and then stitching or otherwise securing the depending extremity of the said apron 16 to the apron 17 as at 19. It is of course to be understood that the apron portion '16 is that part of the tie which is hidden behind the front apron 17,v

thus this manner of assembly just mentioned will present no undesirable feature to the tie as would render it undesirable for wear, but rather would prove an added advantage, since such permits that merely one apron extending in front of the wearer presenting a natty and ressy appearance, which is not always the case when the rear apron of the tie hangs loosely as in the ordinary manner. To the rear of the knot 15 of the tie or scarf A, and especially in adapting the invention to a ready .made neck tie there is provided an auxiliary fastening element fixed to the knot by stitching or in any other preferred or desired manner. This fastening element is in the nature of a socket and is designated generally by the reference character 20, (see Figure 2). Thus it will be seen that the socket 20 is exposed to the back of the tie and the said socket is adapted to receive the ball-like head 21 of a conventional collar button 22.

Inpractice then it will be seen that the tie preferable to e stain changes fully often causes the soiling of the .tie .by one;

hands, especially this being the case in warm weather. i 7

Even though we have shown the preferred mbodi'ment of my invention, it is to be understoodthat the same is susceptible to cercomprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described, and thescope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is V l I As a new article of manufacture, a necktie retainer formed from a single blank of resilient material having an intermediate portion folded upon itself to provide a substantial V- including' a pair of diverging arm portions, the folded portions of said blankbeing cut longitudinally adjacent one edge of the blank wvhereby to provide a substantially truncated apex for said V,sa1d arm portions of said retainer adapted to be disposed beneath the wings of a collar,and the truncated apcxof said member adapted to accommodate the knotted portion of a necktie for retaining the latter in a; supported position from said retainer. s

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures.
