Abstract: A tie fastener for securing a necktie to a shirt is disclosed. The tie fastener includes three strips of flexible material joined together at one end. Each strip is identical to the others. An inner strip is buttoned to a shirt and an outer strip is fed through the loop-label of the tie. An intermediate strip is interposed between the inner and outer strips and serves to cover a shirt button and prevent the loop-label of the tie from catching on the button.
