Ties coming undone?

Hi everyone,

My new job requires ties as part of the dress code.

Over the past year I have found a few of my ties coming loose/undone at the back. A really thin thread that holds them together at the back is breaking.

I think I might be taking them off incorrectly. Not sure what else would cause this to happen.

I have attached a photo which shows what is happening.

I usually tie my ties in a half windsor knot.

Does anyone know if a regular tailor can fix this? Would it be expensive?

Anyone else have this happen with their ties?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the advice onix. Its probably not worth it for me to send these to Tie Crafters even though I am sure they can fix them properly.

I got them on sale for around $15-$18 so I would be spending more to repair them.

I will just buy new ones and be more careful with them from now on.
