"I made these neckties in a manner idiosyncratic to a tailor named H.A. Otter. It took me a number tries to understand his method of making a tie, which is practical, efficient, and elegant. His ties were not cut on the bias, they were cut with the weft (across the fabric's width), as are mine. The most interesting thing I discovered in the process of making them was that the tie's flare was actually a function of its manufacture."
