I'd choose 3.5" but I guess 3" is ok depending on how big your body is.

I think it's been discussed before, but can you get a regular old 3-fold construction? I really don't care about extra folds.

Yes. I initially thought you could not, but I misinterpreted something Mina told me.

Standard width of the ties in his workshop was 9 cm which is about 3.5 inches. I asked for the 8 cm.

I thought you were a wider guy than that. I prefer 3 3/4" personally

He is a very stylish guy himself, and extremely nice. I think, though am not sure, that il signor Will might be carrying some of his ties when he gets his online store up.

I have ties of all different folds from him, and a lot in wool/cashmere, of which he has a fantastic selection. I especially like the yellow silk in the last pic of the OP, fwiw.

My Cappelli ties are all 9.5 cm. I did not ask for any special width, I just told Mina to have them made the same as the samples.

maybe I am confusing them with the Anna ties. I thought they were both the same width, but I didn't measure them or anything.

Same here - that's the width that works best for me. Always get a weird look from Solito when I get'em that wide, and Hober told me that most get their bespoke ties at 3.25" or so.
