    Catching up on pages and pages of posts. Saw a post asking about tie narrowing. Replied instead of quoted so my post a few back lacks a little context. In any case, to whomever was asking, that was me.

    So ever since I told my daughter she can have half the net profit on anything she finds she makes a bee line for the ties as soon as we hit a thrift. This time by the time I caught up with her she had a fistful of Zegna's already and was asking if Brioni was any good. All she left for me was...

    Huge shout out to GMMcl who sent me a 6 fold to deconstruct! I managed to create a pattern from it and made this from thrifted cloth. Self tipped, lined six fold.

    Yes, just for me. Honestly, even if I did feel comfortable selling a 'refurb' (which I don't), it wouldn't be worth the effort.

    Big shout out to STEVE KANE for not one, but two beautiful sport coats that fit like they were made for me! Wore the cashmere today but the Camel Hair may have to wait until fall :).

    Pssst, buddy. Can you spare a seven fold? I am going to start making up some seven fold ties from a silk/cashmere/wool thrift source that I have. And while it is not difficult to create patterns for seven fold ties I would love to be able to see how other makers do it. What I am looking for...
