The intermediate layer is formed of flannel, felt, blanket material, and the like. The outer covering is made of any thin suitable material to tightly fit the base member. The base member is inserted into the intermediate layer; and this is then inserted into the outer covering. [0007] U.S. Pat. No. 2,618,378 discloses a device for keeping neckties flat and in a pressed condition while being stored, shipped or handled to prevent the unintentional folding or creasing of the ends of the ties.
