- Try on the tie and make sure it ties a knot well.
- The best material for ties is either silk or a polyester and silk blend.
- The inside of a tie should be lined with stiff material to give shape to the body.
- Standard neckties range in lengths from 145cm to 152cm, if you are a real tall guy, you may need to custom order a longer tie.
- If you are going to buy a tie for a suit you already own, bring it with you when shopping for it to make sure that it matches your suit.
- The lining of a tie hold its shape. High quality ties are lined with either 100% wool or some sort of wool mixture. A higher percentage of wool means higher quality.
- High quality ties are cut across the fabric (cut on the bias), this allows the tie to fall straight without curling after being knotted .
- Inspect the tie closely and carefully looking for loose threads and miss-weaves.
- As with most things, the more you spend, the higher the quality.
- If a silk tie feels rough to the touch, that means the silk is of inferior quality.
