         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 adjusting the primary tie face to a length that is approximately between 3.0 to 4.5 inches in length; and   adjusting the secondary tie face to a length that is approximately between 6.0 to 9.0 inches in length.   
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 placing the neck tie around an article of clothing; and   placing the right column of the primary tie face in an overlapping relationship with the left column of the secondary tie face such that the primary tie face extends a distance beyond the secondary tie face.   
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the barrel includes a width of approximately 2.0 to 3.0 inches.   
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the barrel, the primary tie face, and the secondary tie face are substantially aligned in a vertical direction with respect to each other such that the secondary tie face extends a distance beyond the primary tie face, the distance being at least twice as long as a length of the primary tie face.   
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 the length of the primary tie face is between approximately 3.0 to 4.5 inches.   
     
     
         7 . A multi-face necktie comprising:
 a u-shaped strap having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;   a barrel couplable to the first end and the second end of the u-shaped strap;   a secondary tie face having an elongated body couplable to the barrel; and   a primary tie face couplable to the barrel such that the primary tie face is disposed in an overlapping relationship with a portion of the secondary tie face, the secondary tie face extending a distance beyond a terminal edge of the primary tie face.   
     
     
         8 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 7 , further comprising:
 an adjustable fastener coupling the first end of the u-shaped strap to the second end of the u-shaped strap.   
     
     
         9 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 8 , wherein:
 the primary tie face conceals the portion of the secondary tie face in the overlapping relationship.   
     
     
         10 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the barrel includes a top portion and a bottom portion disposed a distance from the top portion; and   the first end second ends of the u-shaped strap are coupled to the top portion of the barrel.   
     
     
         11 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 the primary tie face and the secondary tie face are coupled to the bottom portion of the barrel.   
     
     
         12 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the barrel includes a front surface and a back surface opposite the front surface; and   the secondary tie face is coupled to the back surface of the barrel.   
     
     
         13 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the primary tie face includes a length that is between approximately 3.0 to 4.5 inches; and   the secondary tie face includes a length that is between approximately 6.0 to 9.0 inches.   
     
     
         14 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the secondary tie face includes a length that is at least approximately twice a length of the primary tie face.   
     
     
         15 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the barrel, the primary tie face, and the secondary tie face are substantially aligned in a vertical direction with respect to each other such that the barrel, the primary tie face, and the secondary tie face are visible to a user.   
     
     
         16 . The multi-face necktie according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the barrel includes a width that is approximately 2.0 to 3.0 inches.   
     
     
         17 . A method of tying a multi-face necktie, the method comprising:
 providing a necktie having a primary tie face and a secondary tie face opposite the primary tie face, the primary tie face including a right column along a length thereof and the secondary tie face including a left column along a length thereof;   placing the left column in an overlapping relationship with the right column to form a v-shaped opening, the left column extending a distance beyond a distance of the right column;   wrapping a first portion of the primary tie face around the left column;   wrapping a second portion of the primary tie face around the right column;   pulling the primary tie face through the v-shaped opening to create a barrel disposed at a bottom portion of the v-shaped opening; and   adjusting the length of at least one of the primary tie face and the secondary tie face such that the secondary tie face extends a distance beyond a terminal edge of the primary tie face.   
     
     
         18 . The method according to  claim 17 , wherein:
