Smell is not tobacco, i have made the same mistake in the past. Air them outside for a few hours. It.is the chemicals in the dyes for the tie

Received my first batch of EGC ties today. When I first held them, I was shocked to find how featherweight they are even though I selected medium weight interlining. Being not used to how thin these ties are, I wasn't able to get a remotely nice knot. However, after a couple of reties, I found the sweet spot and was able to create a lovely voluptuous knot. I didn't know if I'll like the feel of such a lightweight tie but now I'm completely sold.

Also, noticed quite a strong tobacco smell to these but its no big deal to me; almost gives it a character lol.

That is an incredible tie and knot.

May I ask, what weight interlining do you use and how many folds the tie has? I just can't seem to get that type of knot on my Cappelli ties (especially the twill ones) whereas I easily do on my Shibumi ties and was curious if it was down to the interlining used.

Thanks! I really like that pattern, too. It's just three folds with light interlining. I use a Knize knot with it. It's 9cm x 148 cm.
