I have learned that with any custom order, you will not get exactly what you want in every detail. Just about every detail, but it's the ideal will only be in your head, no matter how well you communicate what you want. It's part of life.
True. I've learned to let go when it comes to small details. But when I get sent too many ties that don't match the patterns I ordered, it's less a matter of being idealistic, and more a matter of "who's ties are these?"
How narrow did you end up going? I remember there was a thread in which you were trying to figure it out.
8 cm. I think it's dead-on. At the end, I just had to go with what felt right. Lucca recommended 7 cm, which I didn't feel comfortable with at all; Mariano seemed to be of the opinion that anything between 8 and 9 cm would be fine on me.
