Factors To Consider When Choosing 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 tip is checking the proportion of the necktie. There are a variety of sizes and shapes. When it comes to size, pick the one with a standard length and width. Some buyers end up picking without thinking about the length of the necktie. If it goes beyond the belt after tying, then it is not right for you. Do not forget to think about the blazer and your body size. They will affect the general look. Use your judgment to make the right choice.

Also, remember to check the stitch or bar track. This is the part that joins the ends of the necktie together. Prior to making a payment, examine the stick to make sure it is horizontal. It provides reinforcement and ensures it does not lose shape due to bubble up. Despite the quality of the necktie, do not pay for it if there are no tacks because it will distort fast.

Also, consider the fabric. The materials used to make ties are different. The texture also varies with materials. Look for those made of silk or wool but make sure you check the label. Some stores might mislead buyers to buy something made of materials like silk that are not fully made of silk. Make sure you touch or feel the materials first. The texture itself will tell you if the percentage of silk or natural materials is high. Opt for heavy and tight material.

Also, check the bias cut. The lower section of a necktie should be cut by a sharp object diagonally for a better shape. With the right cut also, one enjoys better knots. Many people can wear neckties that are well cut because they never turn or move to the sides. Examine how the cut has been made and if it does not look diagonal, check another one.

The slip knot is another thing you must remember. A tie cannot be custom handmade if it lacks a loop which runs from the blade to the tail. It allows for adjustments that help a lot in increasing the life of the necktie. It reduces the wear and tear resulting from daily use.

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.

Finally, choose a store or a tailor that will help you understand the maintenance of all the ties you purchase. You might pick the right fabric and proportion but fail to learn about cleaning and storage which can significantly reduce the lifespan.
