Frodo Report post Posted March 9 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarshalWill Report post Posted March 9 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billybopp Report post Posted March 9 I had a skinny leather tie in the 80s and loved it! It's probably still around here somewhere. - Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It needs to be a little wider i am not happy with the sharpness of the knot. The rivet is to tight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frodo Report post Posted March 10 I think it needs a concho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarshalWill Report post Posted March 10 That would work. Maybe right about where you would put a tie-tack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
