Three Ways to Ensure that Men’s Shorter Vintage Narrow Neckties Can Work For You
By Jackie Burns
There’s nothing more frustrating than finding a super cool mad men era tie only to realize it is short and may not reach your belt line when tied. Even normal height me might find mid century neckwear a tad short by today’s standards. Never fear, here are three solutions:
Make an Adjustment When Tying the Knot When you wrap the tie around your neck and are ready to tie your favorite knot, simply shorten the starting end. Doing so will result in a longer tie which will hopefully reach your belt line or the desired length. While the thin end will be shorter than you are used to, it will be hidden behind the front of the necktie, and no one will be the wiser.
Have a Professional Lengthen the Necktie Take the tie to your tailor or seamstress to have it lengthened. First determine how long you want the tie to be based on other neckwear in your wardrobe. Have the tie cut in an inconspicuous place and have fabric added. When tied, this altered area will be hidden under the collar.
Button Your Jacket, Wear a Three Piece Suit or a Vest Last but not least, hide the necktie behind the vest of your three piece suit, wear it with a vest, or keep your two piece suit buttoned on those occasions you decide to wear the tie. The best features of the tie will peak through and provide a finishing touch.

I am fit to be tied now!!
It seems that over the years that ties have got shorter and people have become taller.
Thank you for sharing, Jackie.
Best wishes.

Getting your tie lengthened? Wow! Why not just buy a longer tie?
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi James, The article is geared toward lengthening vintage ties, which back in the 50's and 60's ranged from 50 to 56 inches. Back then they didn't manufacture long ties for big and tall guys - that trend started later, in the late 60's or even early 70's.
