CFM Frodo Posted March 9, 2024 CFM Report Posted March 9, 2024 Wha??? Necktie?????? this is a work in progress, I am stopped at the moment awaiting a neck measurement and a Adams apple to belt length I I got the idea, then modified, from YouTube enough is shown for you to pick it up and make your own On the knot, pinch and sew the backside And yes you can use veg tan and tool it Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
Members MarshalWill Posted March 9, 2024 Members Report Posted March 9, 2024 That's an interesting idea. I have a few ties but never considered a leather one. A finished pic would be welcome when you get your dimensions, if possible. Quote
Members billybopp Posted March 9, 2024 Members Report Posted March 9, 2024 I had a skinny leather tie in the 80s and loved it! It's probably still around here somewhere. - Bill Quote

CFM Frodo Posted March 9, 2024 Author CFM Report Posted March 9, 2024 lol. I used a rifle sling as my pattern 3 1/2” at the widest 1 1/4”. At the top 1” neck strap I used chrome tan 2 oz piggy Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

It needs to be a little wider i am not happy with the sharpness of the knot. The rivet is to tight Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

CFM Frodo Posted March 10, 2024 Author CFM Report Posted March 10, 2024 I think it needs a concho Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
Members MarshalWill Posted March 10, 2024 Members Report Posted March 10, 2024 That would work. Maybe right about where you would put a tie-tack. Quote
Members rleather Posted March 10, 2024 Members Report Posted March 10, 2024 Good idea , on the concho! The tie looks great! Quote
