It’s a shame that 50’s and 60’s neckties are shorter than today’s neckties because they have a fantastic classic style that has not been replicated since. It seems that manufactures didn’t think too much about big and tall men back then, who need ties that are at least 60 inches in length by today’s standards. 50 to 57 inches was the standard length for narrow classic neckties from the 50’s and 60’s. In reality, teenage boys neckties is usually 48″ to 50″ in length. It is interesting to note that in the middle of the century men wore their trousers higher than modern styles, and that fashion helped bridge the space between the tip of the tie and the pants line.

So what to do? Here are some solutions as to how to fix the difficulty associated with men’s short neckties:

Try A New Knot

You can adjust your knot when you tie your neckwear. Simply start with a smaller segment of the narrow end when you start tying the knot. You will have a longer tie but a smaller thin end which rests higher than usual behind the front of the tie, but because it is obscured by the front, it isn’t a factor. The skinny end could rest as close as 2 inches from the knot itself.

 

Extend Your Neckwear

Have the necktie lengthened by taking it to a seamstress or tailor. The first step you need to do is to figure out how long you need it to be. Inspect the length of the other ties in your closet. Make sure you wear a normal necktie and a dress shirt. Take measurements of the section the lies hiding underneath the collar. The short tie will be separated in an inconspicuous spot that will be hidden underneath the collar and a pre-measured segment of material will be sewn in. Leave the tailoring to the professionals as it can be tricky working with an accessory which contains an inner lining.

A Three Piece Suit Hides The Problem

Three piece suits are not only stylish but are the perfect way to hide a shorter necktie. No one will be aware that your necktie is shorter but plenty of it will show. If three piece suits are not your style than you can just simply keep your jacket closed.

In Conclusion

Where there is a will there is a way. You can find a way to wear that classic tie without giving up modern style. Manufacturers from the 50’s and 60’s took great pains to produce some memorable ties, sometimes incorporating a look which hasn’t been repeated since. So if you need to wear that fantastic classic tie, all you need is a few adjustments to make them work for you today.
