Custom sizing any which way.

It's not just our retail selection that come inseveral sizes, but allcustom designsare available in your choice oflengthsas well.

Giving ties as a gift tothe tall groom and average groomsmen? Mix and match custom designs on four regular and one long tie. There are no limits.

Custom sizing doesn'tjustend there. Wealso offer all our neckties in three widths: Skinny, Knotty, and Classic. Not only do tall tie-wearers need a longer size, but theyoftenprefer a more traditional width to fit their style. With ouron-demand production these choices are available for every customer.

The obvious answer -their height.

Not every company makes long ties, and even fewer make extra long versions. If they do, their sizing charts are often all over the place and inconsistent.

We try to keep it simple. Our sizing suggestions are based arounda modern lookwhere the tieshould reach down to the belt buckle or waistband. If youpreferto wear it shorter or longer keep that in mind as you determine your size.

Without any additional considerations, our general rules of thumb for sizing tall folks are as follows.

• Shorter than6'2" - Our standard 58" tie will do the trick.
• Between 6'3" and 6'5" - Size up to our long 62"tie.
• Taller than6'5" -Pick our extra long 66" option.

Styleconsiderations.

How do you like to tie your necktie knot? A larger, more complex knot will use more of the tie and can change how much of the tail is available. If you're a tie-aficionado and know how to tie something fancy, this might be a consideration to size up.

Sizing too small can mean thetailof the tieoften doesn't reach the catch. That little tag that tucksit neatly away is called the catch, and not reaching it leads to a dangling tail which nobody wants. Be sureto air on the side of caution when choosing your size tie to be certain that you can reach and use the catch.

Body considerations.

For many guys being tall also means having a larger neck. It makes shopping for bow ties especially difficult (if that's your thing - we still have you covered) and can add some hassle to shopping for regular neckties.

If you're on the fencewith our standard sizing suggestions listed above, take the time to measure your neck. If it's close to, or greater than 18",choose the next size up.This will allow for amore comfortable fit and make sure the tail reaches the catch.

Guys with tallchests and torsos mayhave encounteredthis problem in the past ifsizing is solely basedon your overall height. If you have long legs,keep in mind that the height from your waistto your neck may lead you to consider a standard, or just a longlength.

Last but not least is the size of your stomach. Rarely is this something male shoppers like to admit to, but it's essential to consider how much your tieis not hanging vertically from the neck. The larger your stomach or chest is, and this goes for muscular guys as well, then the shorterthe tie will end up being overall.

Again, if you think your stomach is going to shave a few inches off where you want the tie to fall at the waist, then size up and play it safe.

Why long and extra long ties cost more.

As youprobably haveseen from shopping around and price checking different stores, long ties tend to cost more. Sometimes even double the price of a regular tie. While it does cost more to make these longer versions, charging an arm and a leg is just dishonestto customers. That's why we've affordably priced our long custom ties with transparent markups for all the custom and retail ties we offer.

• Long ties are $5 extra.
• Extra long ties are $15 extra.

Since all our products are handmade in the USA, they do require some extra labor and love to create. Bothof our longertie options requires more fabric to be used and printed, along with additional time for stitching and finishing. If you're ordering a number of ties in different sizes, we do make note of the long ties on the bottom of the box so you don't have to guess which is the longer version.

Bow ties made to fit everyone.
