If I remember correctly, we tried a year or two ago and they didn’t have all the fabrics.
True, but they didn't have the fabrics this time either. The fabrics had to be remade, which determined the minimum order number needed for each tie.
I was planning on replying with that as well but looking back on this thread's post I can't figure out if the fabric was remade or TF's fabric suppliers still had some available. Posts 173 and 176???

Obviously the fabrics needed to be woven into the correct patterns, but I guess the question is whether the underlying silk in the correct colors was available.

Ah okay, that makes sense. You've definitely taught me something about tie production! I've just assumed when "fabric" has been mentioned here that it means the completed patterned material, not the individual threads that make it up. Also thought that TF just goes to their fabric supplier, picks an already designed and woven pattern then takes it back to their factory to be made into the tie...but considering it in retrospect of course all that's not the case—shows how much I know about all the BTS stuff )
Depending on this projects success and ease of completion. The qos tie project has been mentioned already and we'll see once this is complete

Off top of my head:
PTS
London
Bolivia
Greene Party
Kazan
Bow tie
I'm assuming that ties 3-5 are the most sought after?

Guys
Can we keep this to the current project for now...
To close the qos tie talk, it has been mentioned in my conversations with Luigi. It would be a while off, later this year and the thinking was limited to 3 tie patterns. Any possible but any more logistically too hard. If and when we get to that stage we can decide which 3 then.

Only a couple of days left until Luigi's payment deadline of the 15th—make sure everyone that confirmed their tie orders after Luigi's late Feb email has paid!

Is it going to be a while until you can take your shoes off?
LOL I guess I was too excited
Huge thanks to Mark and Luigi for getting this project started and to everyone here who made the project possible. Cheers everyone.
I am looking forward to the 3 TF Skyfall ties. Many thanks to Mark and Luigi for this great project!
Luigi's initial email on 2/26 indicated that the ties will be 7cm's as they were in Skyfall.
A couple of us own screen used ties.
I just never knew or known Tom Ford of making 7cm ties... Usually everything was 8cm +
