The present invention relates to a method of securing and aligning a necktie on a shirt.
Neckties are worn daily by tens of thousands of individuals and for many different purposes, which include business and pleasure. When wearing a necktie, the portrayal of a professional appearance is paramount. Such a portrayal of professional appearance can quickly be ruined if, for example, a necktie begins to blow around due to wind or appear unaligned over one's shirt buttons. Additionally, the wearer of a necktie frequents the unfortunate occasion of having their necktie become soiled as a result of whenever the wearer leans forward, the necktie advances forward indiscriminately.
There is a need for a method of securing and aligning a necktie to a shirt, allowing for a necktie to display its true character without gaudy metal clips or bars, while ensuring that the necktie is always secured and aligned in a vertical manner along the shirt's length. It is especially desirable to develop a necktie securing mechanism that is hidden from view when worn.
The present disclosure provides a method of securing and aligning a necktie on a shirt.
According to the invention, the method of securing and aligning a necktie on a shirt is completed by first tying a necktie using any standard method. Second, one should put the narrow end taper of the tie through the tie loop located on the reverse side of the wide end taper of the tie. Third, one should place the invention through the necktie loop. Fourth, the invention is then to be attached to the two closest buttons on one's shirt.
The method includes the use of an object with flexible material protruding from its ends along its widths, creating loops. The object passes through the necktie loop located on the rear portion of the necktie and remains in-between the necktie loop and the necktie, while the flexible material loops protruding from the object are then attached to the two shirt buttons nearest to the necktie loop. In doing so, the invention securely fastens one's necktie to their shirt and aligns the necktie to ensure that it aligns vertically over the buttons of a shirt. Further, the invention remains hidden from view while the method is in use.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of the specification, illustrate the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
