Tips To Consider When Buying Custom Handmade Ties

By Dennis Barnes


Dress codes are becoming more important to people as days go by. Every time you walk out of your door to work, you want to ensure that your outfit is okay even small aspects like the neckties. They complement the overall look but the issue is selecting a bespoke one. There are many varieties out there making it difficult to choose the best. Below are factors to consider when choosing custom handmade ties.

The first factor to consider when choosing a necktie is the appearance. They come in different sizes and shapes. Depending on your body and the outfit you plan to wear it with, it is good to match the size and shape. Consistency must exist if at all you want to get compliments. Do not buy something that will make the whole outfit look off.

The next pointer is checking the bar strap. The reason people prefer hand stitched neckties is that they flex properly and hence do not easily lose their shape. Machine stitching, on the other hand, is tight which does not allow the necktie to return to its original shape hence can wear and tear easily. Therefore, check the bar strap and ensures it is flexible.

The next thing to keep in mind is fabric. Before buying, pick those with the proportion and bar tack you prefer then ask the tailor or the salesperson about the quality of material used. Genuine handmade neckties will have a label stating the material used to make it. If the material is not indicated, inquire or avoid it. Pick the ones that are made of pure silk. In case silk is not available, cotton can be a great option too.

The design is another factor to consider is the cut on the bias. The best designers or tailors in the market will cut the bias at a 45-degree angle so that it can acquire its original shape after tying the knot. A well-constructed cut will make sure it does not turn to one side and instead lies flat. It only stretches downwards hence will move naturally with you. Buying one whose bias cut is not diagonal will make it twist fast when you put it on.

When searching for a necktie, make sure you take time to look for a loop. A tie is not handmade if it does not have a slip knot. People put on neckties every day. In the process of tying and untying, the fabric begins to wear and this might affect the lifespan. The good thing with the loop is that it allows for adjusting to regain the initial shape.

Moreover, consider the body. It has the tail which is the small thinner side of the necktie, the blade which is the large end and the gusset which joins these two parts. Checking these parts can tell you the quality of what you are purchasing.

In conclusion, inquire about the care and maintenance of your necktie. A lot of people do not know how to care for these elements of the wardrobe. It should not be washed or ironed. If it gets dirty, use a wet or damp cloth and clean the fabric where it has dirt spots. Taking it to the dry cleaner is also an option.
