referring to the drawings , a piece of fine fabric tie material 1 is cut from a large roll of tie material having desired patterns and colors . this material 1 is then further cut into predetermined tie patterns in one or more sections suitable to the formation of a tie . the tie material is then laid flat . after first cutting small substantially v - shaped tipping pieces 2a , 2b having a shape corresponding to the v shape of the ends of the tie , the tipping pieces 2a , 2b are positioned at the v ends on the interior side of the tie . rough edges of the tie material 1 and the pieces 2a , 2b at both of the v ends are flanged inwardly into a clean finished hem with interior ( not visible ) stitching at the v - shaped periphery at the interior side of the v ends of the tie . the separate pockets ( also denoted with the reference 2a , 2b ) thus formed on the interior side at the ends have substantially the same shape as the ends of the fabric tie material 1 , namely in this example , although not limited thereto , a v - shape . in addition , a symmetrical v - shape notch 2c was cut in the center of the free transverse edge of the tipping piece 2a . a support layer 12 , made of a firm layer of fine mesh , high quality material , such as satin or the like , although not limited thereto since many other materials are suitable , is cut on a cutting machine preferably into two sections although one piece is also possible , and with the cut between the two sections inclined ( not shown in the figures ). the support layer 12 is cut so as to have substantially the same length , shape and size as the tie material 1 ( i . e ., it is substantially complementary thereto ). this support layer 12 is laid flat on the interior side of the flat laid open tie material 1 and the ends of the support layer 12 are inserted into the pockets 2a , 2b as illustrated in fig1 . this complementarily shaped , full length support layer 12 is inserted at its ends into the pockets 2a , 2b with the entire peripheries both of the support layer 12 and of the tie material 1 including the v - shaped ends positioned substantially complementarily on one another . scotch ( trademark ) tape is placed overlapping the pockets 2a , 2b and the support layer 12 on both remote ends as well as on any other intermediate cut sections of the support layer 12 to hold the support layer 12 in place . next the peripheral longitudinal edges 9 and 10 are aligned by folding the tie throughout its length inside out as shown in fig2 . then a coarse regular wool lining 4 and a tape 5 fig2 ( which is substantially rectangular and generally smaller than the regular lining 4 ), prepared in similar fashion to the other two materials 1 and 12 but with a smaller width , are laid offset on the layer 12 with their center along the peripheral longitudinal edges 9 and 10 of the tie . the tie is slip - stitched by threading ( shown as the numeral 13 ) through the center of the regular lining 4 , the tape 5 , the aligned longitudinal peripheral edges 9 and 10 of the tie material , and the support layer 12 with a long thread over the length of the tie , catching all the aligned longitudinal peripheral edges of the tie and the center of the regular lining 4 plus the tape 5 . the all scotch ( trademark ) tape is then removed . a conventional tool is then inserted through the long loop so formed engaging the remote end of the tie which is then pulled through and turned inside - in outside - out , the ends of the lining 4 being inserted into the pockets 2a , 2b , so that the final tie is produced . the lining 4 has the shape and size of the final tie and serves a template - like function during this operation . it is made of a coarse thicker material compared to the support layer 12 . the tie is then pressed . the tie produced is a seven fold tie ( two layers on the front and two folded double layers on the back and one lining layer therebetween ). by this operation and by pressing the final tie thus has been folded along the longitudinal fold lines 7 , 8 adjacent the longitudinal edges of the lining 4 as shown in fig3 for example , but not limited thereto , the support layer 12 folding everywhere exactly as does the tie material 1 . no threading connection of the peripheries of the support layer 12 and the tie material 1 was effected prior to the single slip - stitching 13 which is employed simultaneously to fasten the lining 4 and all the other mentioned elements . an excellent tie is produced having the advantages previously described which is extremely firm even when the tie material 1 is a fine silk print . while i have disclosed one embodiment of the invention , it is to be understood that this embodiment is given by example only and not in a limiting sense .
a novel tie construction of enhanced stability of shape and smoothness comprises a support layer extending along the entire inside of the tie substantially complementary to the periphery of the front fabric material of the tie , the layers being folded together therewith .
