A tie gauge for tieing a four-in-hand tie to position the wide end at a selected portion of the waist such as the belt buckle is provided. The tie gauge is comprised of selected characterized markings such as numbers on a strip of fabric attached to the inside of the tie. The strip is positioned a pre-selected fixed distance from a bottom or lower end of the wide end of the tie and is of sufficient length that the user may register a selected marking that may be used to tie the tie with the wide end appearing at the desired length. The selected marking in the initial tieing stage of crossing the wide end over the narrow end is registered with a standard point in the narrow end such as the center of the cross-over position.
What is claimed is:
1. A tie gauge for ties which may be of varying lengths, said gauge comprising spaced graduated characterized markings on the inside of the ties extending a length from approximately the middle of the ties toward the wide end of the ties a sufficient distance to provide for registry of a selected marking on the gauge with a center of the narrow end when the wide end is crossed over said narrow end in an initial stage of tieing the ties to position the wide end at a consistent point in relation to the waist of the user, a bottom end of said tie gauge being a pre-selected fixed distance from a bottom end of said wide end of the ties.
