At the factory, a tie starts at one end with a cutter like Ramirez and then works its way in a bundle of 50 down the football-field-size room. All 16 steps--including sewing the tie's blade to its tail, adding a lining, pressing the tip and turning the tie right side out--take about an hour. "The flexibility to reproduce something...
