Abstract
By providing an elongated, substantially continuous body portion having a size and shape corresponding to a major length of conventional neckties, with said body portion incorporating a plurality of apertures formed therein, a necktie insert for promoting rapid, easy and efficient drying of a washed necktie is achieved. In the preferred embodiment, the necktie insert comprises two elongated arm members, formed by a centrally disposed elongated slit, which causes the arm members to be outwardly biased. In this way, a spreading force is exerted on the necktie by the insert, thereby causing the necktie to dry substantially wrinkle free.
