1. A method for determining where to locate a reference point for use in starting to tie a knot in a tie having a broader portion that is adjacent to a broad end and a narrower portion that is adjacent to a narrow end of the tie, so that when the tie is worn after the knot is tied, the broad end will be disposed at a desired length and at a desired location adjacent to a waistline of a person wearing the tie, comprising:
(a) determining a circumference of a neck of the person at a position where the tie will be worn; (b) measuring a distance between the position along the neck where the knot will be when the tie is worn and the desired location adjacent to the waistline where the broad end of the tie should be disposed; (c) selecting a type of the knot to be used in tying the tie; (d) as a function of the circumference of the neck, the distance between the position along the neck and the desired location adjacent to the waistline, and the type of knot selected, determining a distance from the broad end of the tie to a marker location for the reference point on the back of the broader portion of the tie, where a marker should be applied; (e) applying the marker at the marker location on the back of the tie; thereafter, each time that the tie is tied, after looping the tie around the neck of the person, adjusting the broader portion of the tie that overlaps the narrower portion of the tie so that the marker on the back of the tie is disposed over the narrower portion of the tie; and (g) completing the tying of the knot in the tie. |
