Where can I get a tie dyeable necktie?

Sep 10, 2012 2:48 PM

Does anyone know where I can get a necktie that could be tie dyed? Ideally I'd like to find one that is white, 100% cotton, as that would take the dye best. But 50/50 cotton/polyester would probably work as well.
I've done a few Google searched but haven't come up with anything yet.
Any ideas where to go from here?

I have absolutely no idea, but I'm going to be stuck on the mobius strip of "tie-dyed tie" all day in my head.

I found these paintable ones: http://www.wallacks.com/catalogue/catalog.php?cat=ta3&table=craft
But I think you will have trouble using a traditional tie-dye technique, because the structure of a finished tie precludes actually tying it. You could emulate the look on this with paint, however. Or, you could tie dye a piece of fabric, and fabric fuse it onto a plain tie.

This isn't really of any help, but I found a whole bunch of white 50/50 ties at a thrift store once. Looked like left overs from wedding outfits. So they do exist! Maybe worse comes to worse you can find a template for sewing a tie and just do it yourself, probably not too difficult.

@publicart: Ties are remarkably annoying to sew. I swear the point at the bottom never looks right. I guess it could also have to do with the fact that the fabric I was working with was shiny/synthetic.

The have one for $20.00 at http://www.cjenkinscompany.com/White_cotton_Necktie_p/white%20necktie.html
They sell supplies for DIY inkjet printing on fabric, so chances are good it would be suitable for tie dye.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
