When asked what his most valuable technology is, Mark Redden answered, “My mind.” That simple but wacky answer earned Redden a finalist spot. He’s a true dyed-in-the-wool inventor, creator of ConformaTies his patented designer label that he expects to replace traditional designer labels for neckties as we know them. His labels incorporate several button-holes sewn into the inside of a necktie, thus eliminating tie tacks, tie pins, and other accessories that are designed to keep a necktie conformed to the body.
