The anatomy of the neck tie is fairly simple, three cuts for a traditional tie, the Blade, the Neck, and the Tail, plus an extra length of fabric for the lining, all Bias Cut.
What is Bias Cut? Simply put, the tie is cut diagonally on the fabric, not straight.
This is how we manufacture our school ties. The difference is simple. Pull your tie, you will notice it either has give in it so it stretches a little (this is bias cut), or it is very rigid and won’t stretch at all (this is cut on the straight).
Most manufacturers of school ties cut the outer shell of the tie on the bias, but cut the lining on the straight. We cut both of ours on the bias, giving a softer feel to the tie and making it easier to knot and untie.
The ties are made inside out.
