Method of manufacturing a three-fold tie with body folded twice by gatefold

A method of manufacturing a three-fold tie, the method comprising:

• forming one continuous fabric piece comprising:
• a body part at a middle portion of the continuous fabric piece;
• a head part having a tapered end at a first end portion of the middle portion with a first step difference having a width narrower than a width of the middle portion;
• and
• a tail part having a tapered end at a second end portion of the middle portion with a second step difference having a width narrower than the width of the middle portion,
• wherein
• the body part is divided into seven panels by six longitudinal folding lines consisting of a first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth folding lines,
• the head part includes only the third, fourth, and fifth folding lines extending from the body part, and
• the tail part includes only the third, fourth, and fifth folding lines extending from the body part;
• performing a first gatefold on the one continuous fabric piece along the second and fifth folding lines such that outer ends of the continuous fabric piece are folded inwardly up to a longitudinal center region of the body part without overlapping,
• wherein, after the first gatefold is performed,
• the second folding line becomes a first outer edge of the one continuous fabric piece, and
• the fifth folding line becomes a second outer edge of the one continuous fabric piece as such the fifth folding line of the head, body, and tail parts is folded during the step of performing the first gatefold;
• and
• performing a second gatefold on the one continuous fabric piece along the third and fourth folding lines such that outer ends of the first gatefold are folded inwardly with overlapping, thereby forming a thickness suitable for making knots.
