The method for making the necktie of the present invention includes providing an outer shell having a decorative side, a back side opposite the decorative side, a large end, a small end opposite the large end, and two sides extending substantially from the large end to the small end. The method further includes placing an lining on the back side of the outer shell for providing shape and body to the necktie, the lining having a large end, a small end, and a lengthwise portion connecting the large end to the small end, wherein the large end is disposed substantially adjacent the large end of the outer shell, and wherein at least one end of the lining includes at least one friction layer. According to the method, two sides of the outer shell are folded towards the back side of the outer shell to create an envelope, and the lengthwise portion of the lining is disposed substantially within the envelope. Additionally, tipping material is fixed to the rear side of the necktie. According to the method of the present invention, the at least one friction layer facilitates the movement of the tipping material in conjunction with movement of the outer shell such that when the tipping material is placed against glass and the outer shell is moved, the tipping material will move relative to the glass.
