Abstract: An invisible tie restraint replaces the standard tie tack or tie bar for restraining a necktie onto a shirt or blouse front. The restraint is simple and inexpensive, being made of a single piece of flat treated cloth, paper or plastic. In one embodiment he restraint comprises an upper end, a lower end, and a body connecting the two ends, the body containing a multiplicity of notch pairs. The lower end contains a loop entry into which the upper end is inserted, drawing the body through until one of the notch pairs reaches a "stop" position while capturing the label of the necktie within the looped formed thereby. The restraint is attached to the shirt front by attaching a shirt button into a button hole formed in the upper end of the restraint. In other embodiments the restraint takes the form of a modified label, the label having a tab into which the button hole is formed.
