Neck Loop: The loop of the tie that goes around the collar.
Keeper Loop: A piece of fabric that is sewn onto the underside of the wide end of the tie that can be used to keep the narrow end of the tie hidden.
Prince Albert: A larger knot than the four-in-hand, this knot is also meant to have a slender, tighter look.
