Product Description
Are you tired of your necktie falling into your food when you lean over a table? Have you ever gotten toothpaste on your tie when brushing your teeth before running out the door? How about constantly adjusting your necktie to keep it in place on a windy day, or in an attempt to hide that unruly tie tail? Ever look down and discover that your tie has wandered away from the center of your shirt? Fix it with the Tiedown, a simple solution for your necktie fashion foibles. The Tiedown will save you from all the stains and inconvenience of everyday life without leaving holes in an expensive necktie (like tie pins do), or flashing a lot of corny/gaudy metal as some tie bars do. The Tiedown is the classy yet invisible solution to your necktie problems. Made from 100% post consumer recycled plastic or leather, the Tiedown will fit any shirt's buttons and strap down your beautiful tie through the horizontal tie tag on the back, hiding your tie tail, centering your tie and sharpening your look.It's simple and easy to use, just follow the pictures below. The affordable and elegant, eco-friendly solution.So, how does it work? First tie your necktie, then take a look at where the horizontal tie tag on the back of your tie lies against the front of your shirt. 99.9% of the time the tie tag is between two of the buttons on the front of your shirt. You want to fasten the Tiedown between those same two buttons, start by putting the top button through the button hole on the Tiedown, then thread the Tiedown through the horizontal tie-tag on the back of your tie. Finish by fastening the bottom button hole of the Tiedown onto the lower button on the front of your shirt. Now your necktie is securely held flush against the front of your shirt. No more drooping into your soup when you stand to greet a colleague across the table, or flapping over your shoulder on a windy day. No more straying from the centerline. Perfect. Simple. Discreet. And best of all CHEAP!

A Must! March 25, 2006

I love these tie downs. I use them everyday and feel lost without them. They're very strong. My one has lasted me for 5 months. Thanks.
Impressive for a simple piece of plastic!! March 5, 2007

For the cost--I thought--might as well try this gadget--there's no real financial investment, so if it looks or behaves goofy, i'll just toss it in the trash. So, my husband buttons one end of the Tiedown, slides the Tiedown through the necktie's nametag (with the shorter necktie end tucked in also) and buttons the Tiedown at the other end. I would've bet money on the fact that you could see the edges of this 'cheap' tie holder or that the tie just wouldn't lie right.
Well, I was right. The tie crumpled all up and looked goofy--until we moved the Tiedown down one button. Then I had my husband stand up straight, lean forward, lean from side to side......... OMG.... I could not see the Tiedown at all, and the tie was completely well-behaved! We were thrilled with this new gadget! Hubby has worn it for a week--and has not heard one comment from colleagues about the 'unusual' tie holder. Because no one can see it!
I do have one suggestion though--they should be sold in packs of three or five--that way if one gets broken by the kids, chewed up by the dog, or lost by dear hubby, then you'll have extras on hand. So, in the meantime, buy a few when you order! (Now available!! The following value packs!) *** Tiedown Value Pack - 10 Plastic *** Tiedown Value Pack - 5 Plastic *** Tiedown Sample Pack - 3 Plastic, 2, Leather, 1 Great Price ***
This is a product that will eventually be sold in high quality retail shops--get them while they're still so CHEAP, because once the designers get a hold of them, stamp their name on 'em and then crank the price up--you'll think you're buying a slice of gold instead of plastic or leather!! Trust me, I'm stocking up NOW!
Buy 'em. You'll love 'em. Tiedown, the Alternative to Tie Tacks and Tie Bars
(UPDATE April 6th)
********* Hubby has been using ONE Tiedown for over a month now--although we have others--and this first Tiedown is still in great shape! We continue to be impressed with the simplicity and efficiency of this product! Kudos *********
 Useful piece of plastic May 20, 2007

Yes, this is a tasteful replacement for a tie clip. But ultimately it is only a cleverly designed piece of plastic, that I received in the mail taped to a sheet of paper. There is no reason that it should be sent as certified mail; I had to make a special trip to the post office to pick it up. Ordinary first-class mailing will do, and is good reason that the distributor should lower the presently disproportionate shipping price.
Very Well Done June 8, 2006

Completely solves the problem of how to secure my tie without jewelry. Seems to be indestructable and always fits. Glad I found them.
 Extremely awkward when you bow/bend your posture March 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
OK it works as it is advertised, BUT (A HUGE BUT) when you, for instance, sit on your chair and bow/bend while you are writing something or simply looking at your computer, your tie will appear cracked from the point where you attach this thing. Believe me, its extremely awkward. The reason I gave 2 stars is because it does what it says, only when your posture is almost 90 degrees straight, which is something quite impossible to maintain all day long.
Also considering what you pay for the shipping, it is better you don't buy it.
