This member 1 designates the rear end portion or the. slidable 5 may then be. brgight upwardly over the outer member which is adapted to slide through the face of the outer lining or padding 3 and then knot of a four-in-hand tie when disposed about brought over the top of the plate 4 and sewed on the neck of the wearer. the inside of the knot as shown by stitching 12 protected by a finger or out injury to plate 4 is then bent as shown ends 4b spaced apart.

The slidabie tie portion 1 can then be pulled downwardly through the knot member, and when this tie portion 1 is tightened to the desired degree, the free end portion 1 can then be moved inwardly a slight degree so that it will contact with the bent portion 2b of the securing member 2, which will pierce the free end 1 and prevent iurther upward movement thereof, and thereby prevent loosening of the loop about the neck of the wearer.

Figure 2, wherein the bent portion 21) projects outwardly and projects below free end portion 1 is first pulled downwardly so as to tree this member from the securing memher 2, whereupon the point of the pin 2 may be the like, and the free end 1 then slid out of the knot either through the opening 11 or pulled longitudinally through the knot.

It will be noted, from the foregoing, that a tie construction has been disclosed wherein the knot will not wrinkle during and wherein the free or looped portion of the tie can be tightened to the desired degree withthe free end portion. The material from which the tie proper is constructed may be of any desired character.

It is, of course, understood that various changes and be made in the details of construction and design of the above specifically described embodiment of this invention without departing from the spirit thereof," such changes and modifications being restricted only by the scope oi thertollowlng claimsb By providing a securing the use of the tie, 7
