Results
The result will look something like this:
blood red silk string tie: This string tie is a bold fashion statement. Expertly hand-woven from blood red silk cords, it fastens with a silver slide engraved with an open hand. The ends are finished with silver aiguillettes, reinforced to provide a secure grip when the tie is looped around some unfortunate person's neck in a terminal fashion.
