Abstract: A bow includes a central member having a first end, a second end spaced from the first end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A first pouch has a first end with an opening configured to permit access into a cavity of the first pouch, and a second end spaced from the first end. A second pouch has a first end with an opening configured to permit access into a cavity of the second pouch, and a second end spaced from the first end. The first end of the central member is configured to removably receive the first end of the first pouch and the second end of the central member is configured to removably receive the first end of the second pouch, such that when joined together, the central member, the first pouch, and the second pouch are in the shape of a bow.

Abstract: Multi-part bow ties are described. Such bow ties include at least a proximal panel that can easily be detached from a distal panel. The proximal and distal panels can be made from different fabrics, fabrics having different colors and/or patterns, etc., and thus enable a user to create bow ties wherein the distal and proximal panels have a different appearance.

Abstract: A necktie including a knot formed with a seat, a binding device having a fixing block removably engaged with the seat of the knot, and a front apron provided with fastening means at an upper end thereof engageable with the knot, whereby the front apron of the necktie can be changed as desired and the necktie can be easily converted to a bowtie thereby providing the user with a number of options and when pulled by a force which is larger than the holding force of the front apron, the front apron will be disengaged from the knot hence preventing the user from getting hurt.

Abstract: Herein is described an invention comprising an adjustable bow tie of three basic parts: a bow strip, a bow loop and a neck band. The bow strip may be pre-tied or otherwise, and is held in a bow shape by a tubular bow loop, located in the center of the tied bow strip. The neck band is separable from the bow tie portion and has an unrestricted path through the bow loop. The neck band is adjustable to the size of the wearer's neck and employs hook and pile fabric fasteners adjacent to both ends of the band and located longitudinally along opposite sides of the band. The combination of the fastening means with the unrestricted movement of the neck band allows the wearer to adjust the band and conceal such adjustment and the fastening means from view.
