Abstract: A necktie having a narrow end and a wide end accommodates an elongated slot in the underside of the narrow end. A mesh having elongated apertures is formed in the slot. In one embodiment, a pair of loops support a slideably mounted button holder which engages the selected one of the wearer's shirt buttons and provides attachment of the necktie to the shirt of the wearer. In an alternate embodiment, the elongated slot supports a mesh which engages a selected one of the buttons on the wearer's shirt to secure the tie with respect to the wearer.
