just cut the back blade shorter :crackup:


This would work. Just have a tailor fix it so it doesn't look like a battle field stitch job.

I have had my alterations tailor shorten several ties for me and have happy with the results, but it was not cheap.

o tie the tie so the main blade is correct, then I tuck the back blade into my shirt at the 2nd button, i.e. as high as possible, i.e. I have no back blade.


This. Works perfectly, a lot better than tucking inside the pant.
