Abstract

A tie storage system for convenient storage and retrieval of neck ties, and similar articles, is constructed with a center sheet of flexible plastic having a plurality of tongues on its left and right edges. Front and rear pocket sheets of flexible, clear plastic are attached to opposite sides of the center sheets at a plurality of seams defining a plurality of front and rear pockets created by the clear sheet material between the seams. The pockets are open at both ends and each pocket is aligned with a tongue. A neck tie is stored in a pocket by folding it about one end of the tie board and inserting the tie and board into a pocket with the inserted edge of the board being the edge about which the tie is folded. The tie is retrieved by pushing the board from one end to get it partially out of the pocket at the other end by extracting the board and tie from the pocket by grasping and pulling them.
