Abstract
An endless neck tie. In one embodiment an endless loop of fabric of varying width includes a relatively narrow segment providing a neckband, and a first blade and a second blade of variable width extending in opposite directions along the loop and away from the neckband. At least a first transition region, between the blades or between the neck band and the blades, is of such narrow width relative to the blade width that the transition region accepts at least a first knot which defines a constricted region of the endless neck tie between the neck band and the blades.

A strap length adjustment system, comprising:
- a first slide and a second slide, each having a first channel and a second channel, each slide having first, second and third adjoining ribs, with the second rib positioned between the first rib and the third rib so that the first and second ribs define the first channel and the second and third ribs define the second channel;
- and
- an endless strap a portion of which extends through the first channel of the first slide, then through the second channel of the first slide, then through the first channel of the second slide, then through the second channel of the second slide, then through the second channel of the first slide, then through the first channel of the first slide, then through the second channel of the second slide, and then through the first channel of the second slide.
A strap adjustment hardware slide, comprising:
- a first rib including a first slide neck and a first gaff, the first rib extending continuously between the first slide neck and the first gaff;
- a second rib;
- and
- a third rib including a second slide neck and a second gaff, the third rib extending continuously between the second slide neck and the second gaff, the first, second and third ribs connected to one another, wherein:
- the first and second ribs define a first channel and the second and third ribs define a second channel;
- the first gaff of the first rib is permanently spaced a fixed distance from the second rib to provide an opening into the first channel and the second gaff of the third rib is permanently spaced a fixed distance from the second rib to provide an opening into the second channel, the opening into the first channel positioned between the first and second ribs, the opening into the second channel positioned between the second and third ribs;
- and
- the second rib is connected with the first rib via a first slide neck, and the second rib is connected to the third rib via a second slide neck.

A method for adjusting a strap length, comprising:
- providing a first slide and a second slide, each slide having first, second and third adjoining ribs, the second rib positioned between the first rib and the third rib so that the first and second ribs define a first channel and the second and third ribs define a second channel;
- and
- passing either (i) an end of a strap, or (ii) an endless portion of a strap, into the first channel of the first slide, then through the second channel of the first slide, then through the first channel of the second slide, then through the second channel of the second slide, then through the second channel of the first slide, then through the first channel of the first slide, then through the second channel of the second slide, and then through the first channel of the second slide.
A neck tie comprising:
- a strip of material of varying width having first and second opposing ends connectable to one another to form an endless loop, the endless loop including:
- a neckband portion including the connectable first and second opposing ends, having along part of its length a relatively narrow width suitable for placement about a neck;
- and
- a blade region having a wide width relative to the narrow width of the neckband portion with which first and second blades are configurable, the blade region including a juncture region along which the first and second blades are demarcated when the first and second blades are configured,
- the neckband portion including an adjustment mechanism which variably overlaps part of the neckband portion with itself to adjust the length of the endless loop.
