Abstract: Neckwear with a novel construction and configuration is disclosed, consisting of a tie of otherwise traditional configuration that functions as a conventional tie, with a front face constructed of a variety of fabrics. Various combinations of several fabrics of varying materials are positioned on the front face of the necktie, below the knot, and are configured into various patterns. The structural fabric configurations include constructions incorporating braiding of fabrics, pleats, combinations of braiding and pleats, and overlapping fabric combinations, such as vertical left to right, diagonal, alternating diagonal, circular, and fish scale pleats as well as braided patterns. The remainder of the necktie is printed with a pattern that matches the aesthetic appearance created by the structural configurations that are located below the knot on the front face of the necktie.
