I need a tie for a wedding and I've looked around the shops and they're nearly all total shit. I have a nice brown Drake's knitted tie but I want something more colourful. Meanwhile, I have a really nice piece of fabric knocking about and I thought I could make one myself out of it?
Is making a tie hard to do? It seems like it ought to be easy but there's probably more to it than meets the eye. How long would a tie need to be? If I take the fabric to a tailor, will he/she make it for me for a fee?
