Abstract: The 9/1 Necktie is an improved invention of neckwear apparel. This improved invention is comprised of a substantially square body member and a neckband of an elongated rectangle of sufficient length to encircle the wearer's neck more than one full circle around and to encircle the wearer's neck almost but not entirely twice around. One end of the neckband is connected to the square on one of the corners of the square. The connecting seam points are located equally distanced from each side of the square.

Abstract: A device for obtaining a pleasing effect of the front portion of the necktie extending below a formed knot disposed in an opening defined by collar ends of a wearer's shirt. The device is in the form of a necktie clincher which is adapted to define an elongated dimple on the tie just below the formed knot. The clincher comprises a funnel-like sleeve having a longitudinally-extending slot which interconnects between a flared, necktie-receiving opening and a narrow-tie clinching opening. After the knot is substantially or, in the alternative, completely formed, the necktie clincher is attached to the underside of the front portion of the necktie and slipped upwardly to form an elongated dimple, just below the formed knot, to thereby form a pleasing draped effect. The necktie clincher is pushed upwardly until it is concealed within the knot.
