I have a carbon composite necktie I made for a materials class decades ago. I had to cut it to shape with a diamond-tipped bandsaw. It can be worn by securing it around the neck with elastic. Its a bit of a hazard as (being stiff) if you lean over and catch it on anything it will drive into your Adam's apple.
