first tie

Tie with Chevron Stripes

The favorite accoutrement of a Dark Ages businessman.  Every white-collar medievalist should have one.

The very first tie I made was for my dad, for Father's Day of course.  I've since made several more, with a distinct trend toward smaller rings every time.  This, I think, was number three.

I'm still trying to find a style of knot that I really like, but this one is coming close.

Rings:

18 ga 5/32" ID
Plain aluminum, with Copper and black Enameled Copper
European 4:1, hung "wrong way" to make it maintain its shape
