My invention relates to improvements in neckties of the four-in-hand type andhas fQI, its primary object to provide anarticle of this character which will vsimulate a hand tied necltie and yet is easier to put onand takeonl and will notwrinkle. i

A further'object of the `invention is to pr0- vide a necltie of theabove-mentioned chail its adjusted position. f Another object ofthe invention is to provide a necl'tie of the above-mentioned char-` acter which is simple and durable in construction, rehable and efficient in use and inerzpensive to manufacture.

2. A necktie of the character described comprising a noose segment formed from a l sheet of metal having its end portions curved backwardly, a narrow tie strip, a wide tie strip having its small end folded over the uppery edge of the noose segment, a clamping member securing the small end of the narrow tie strip to the inner front wall of the noose segment the opposite end of said narrow strip extending through the noose segment and a wedge clamp resiliently supported in said noose segment, adapted to co-act with said clamping member to secure the'narrow tie strip in its adjusted position.

3. A necktie of the character described comprising a noose segment of substantially tubular form, a narrow tie strip, a wide tie strip having its small end folded over the upper edge of the' noose segment, a clamping 20 member securing the small end of the narrow Vtie strip to the inner front wall of the noose segment, the opposite end of the narrow strip extending through said noose segment and a wedge clamp secured to the upper end of the 2; wide tie strip within said noose segment,

adapted to co-act with said clamping member yto secure the narrow tie strip in its adjusted position.

4. Ak necktie of the character described comprising ra noose. segment of substantially tubular form., a. narrow tie strip, a wide tie strip having its small end folded over the upper edge of the noose segment, a clamping member securing the small end of the narrow gjtie stripA to the inner front wall of the noose segment, the opposite end of the narrow strip extending through said noose segment, a Wedge clamp disposed within said noose segment, and an elastic strip suspending said t wedge clamp from the upper end of the wide tie strip, adapted to hold the wedge clamp in clamping engagement with the narrow tie strip. y Y
