    Proper Tie Width

    The majority of my ties are 3 1/2 inches in width with the remainder in the 3 3/4 inch range. The ties I have in 3 1/4 inches and 4 inches are rolled up and packed away in boxes. I guess the 3 1/2 inch tie is the standard today. But like many have stated, style is a personal choice.
