Are you seriously comparing the complexity of copying a tie to copying a shirt? Even in the case of copying a tie, the copy will no doubt be somewhat different than the original. There is no avoiding that--particularly when goods are handmade.
As for your Ferrari replica example: it is truly bizarre. Yes, you can buy a replica of a Ferrari--but you would be a fool to pay as much as you would for a real Ferrari. Also, the replica will not be exactly like the real thing.
I'm having Passagio Cravatte copy my Arny's ties right now. And there are plenty of replica Ferrari kits out there. There was a big lawsuit a few years ago because Ferrari sued and won to stop production. They were worried about confusion.
