I have now finished my tie commission. The ties were commissioned for a wedding, three ties in total for the Groom, Best Man and Usher. The Bride and Groom wanted grey ties with a very subtle hint of pink to coordinate with the Bridesmaids. The fabric was hand dyed, woven and constructed by myself, the tie is 100% Worsted wool and the lining 100% silk.
They were more difficult to make than I first imagined. It is always the case that the more simple the thing being made the more it shows up the smallest of imperfections. I found that if the pattern was not cut out exactly right then it wouldn’t line up perfectly and this becomes very obvious in the final tie.
I am pleased with the final ties and more importantly the Bride and Groom are happy with them too.
