Converting a fat tie to a skinny tie

[Tobus]

So here's the back of the tie with everything done. (Actually, you can see I hadn't finished with the running stitch when I took this photo, but it does show the new contour of the tie after final pressing, including the wavy rear crease.)



And a couple of comparison shots of this altered tie (new width of 2.5") with one of my other Robert Talbott 4" width ties. I very much like the new width, and don't feel so silly wearing it now. I'll be making the same modification to the other two at some point ...when there's another rainy weekend with nothing else to do.
