Exactly What It Says on the Tin: someone wearing a necktie around the head as an improvised Martial Arts Headband.
A trope often associated with salarymen and other corporate types whose business clothes come with a necktie. Sometimes they get overenthusiastic during an after-work party, or they get involved in Serious Business that justifies dropping the Dress Code.
In real life, most specifically in the hard drinking context, this custom comes from a drunken guy's ostensibly failed attempt to take off his necktie, which remains wrapped around his head for the rest of the party after they forget the matter or quit trying due to alcohol-numb fingers.
Sister Trope to Lampshade Wearing.

Agent/Principal Phil Coulson of Ultimate Spider-Man seems prone to this trope when going into battle. After all, nothing says Badass Principal like an improvised Martial Arts Headband.

Will does this on the first day at his upper class school in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air arguing that while the dress code specifies a tie in a half-Windsor knot, it doesn't say where he has to wear it.

Black Rat: When the Black Rat offers to let Takashi go if he can block his shot on goal, Takashi takes off his necktie and ties it around his head to show how serious he is. It doesn't help.

My Monster Secret has a chapter where Youko's father Genjirou sports one of these after having too much to drink. This is doubly funny because 1) he wasn't even wearing a tie before, and 2) as a full-blooded vampire he's somewhere between two and three times taller than the rest of the cast.

Yakuza 4: One of the revelations that you can get as Saejima and Kiryu has an insanely drunk office worker with his tie wrapped around his head telling off a younger guy for harassing a young woman. He tries to punch the young guy when he keeps bothering her, but his tie gets caught up in the automatic doors yanking him back, and with the motion he accidentally kicks the young guy, knocking both of them out. Saejima notes that it was common back in his day (as in, 1985) for people to wrap their ties around their heads when they went drinking, while Kiryu remarks that alcohol can make heroes even from the most ordinary men.

Episode 10 of Yuri!!! on Ice reveals that Yuri did this while drunk at the previous year's gala. Even more funny since he is seen removing the tie earlier, meaning that either he or someone else purposely tied that tie around his head.
