ABSTRACT:
A necktie and separate pre-formed knot that may be slid into position onto the necktie body and securely maintained in position without slipping. A knot is formed from a generally trapezoidally shaped assembly that is first folded over on itself so that its angled ends overlie one another. The overlying angled ends are secured to one another along a seam offset from the edges of the angled ends so as to define a margin or wing portion between the seam and the edges of the angled ends. The resulting folded and closed assembly is then turned inside out to form the finished knot. The wing portion protrudes into the central opening of the knot to engage the necktie body and hold the knot securely in place on the necktie body. The trapezoidally shaped assembly from which the knot is formed is itself formed of a foundation member and a fabric wrapped around the foundation member. Knots of different styles are described emulating, for example, the common four-in-hand, half-windsor and full-windsor knots. A necktie body for use with the above knot is formed with one or more longitudinal pleats in the neck section which gather together the material so that the neck section is at least somewhat narrower than the front section of the tie. Pleated or gathered in this manner, the material forms a dimple at the top portion of the front section of the tie, where the neck and front sections meet. When the knot is slid in place on the tie body around a wearer's neck, this dimple extends from under the knot to emulate the dimple formed when a necktie is tied in conventional manner.
