Bow tie (a) and neck band (b) are made of black rayon twilled satin. The bow tie is sewn tied, and is floppy with flattened loops and bias cut tails. There is a Velcro closure at the back of the tie on the interior side of the knot. The neck band (b) was originally attached to the bow tie, but has torn completely loose at the proper right back of the knot (left edge seam of band). The matching part of the Velcro closure to the Velcro on the tie is sewn at the proper right edge of the band.
