Abstract
A tie rack suitable for supporting both conventional neck ties and pre-knotted neck ties. The rack is in the form of a right angle flange, with a first side of the flange fitted with means to mount to a vertical wall or door, so as to extend the second flange side in the horizontal plane. The said second horizontal flange side is formed with pairs of relatively narrow parallel slots extending from an external edge, each slot of a size for supporting a conventional neck tie looped over the finger between said slots of a pair with said pairs of slots each separated by a wide slot that extends further towards the vertical flange side from the horizontal flange edge for supporting a pre-knotted neck tie from the knot. A mirror is mounted on the inside face of the vertical flange.
