ABSTRACT:
A tie retaining device according to the present invention includes a fastener part having a front side and a back side, the front side supporting a pair of opposed, laterally projecting barbs, and the back side including an eyelet. The retaining device also includes a retainer clip having an opening for receiving a button of a shirt to secure the retainer clip to the shirt, and a prong for removably coupling with the eyelet of the fastener part. The fastener part barbs are inserted into the rear, folded back flaps of a tie body to attach the fastener part to the tie. The narrow tie tail is then inserted through an elongated opening in the fastener part. The eyelet on the back side of the fastener part is then threaded onto the prong of the retainer clip. In an alternate embodiment, the retainer clip is replaced by a retainer chain which is attached at one end to the center of a rod, and at the other end to a clasp. The rod is threaded into a shirt button hole to secure the retainer chain to the shirt, and the clasp is coupled to the eyelet to connect the fastener part to the retainer chain.
