    Jay,

    I was thinking about these flashes, remembered some earlier posts and had an idea.

    How about "combining" these two methods:

    I was thinking if you used the cotton strapping for the body of the tie and only made small (3" or so) ends out of fabric that are wrapped, sewn onto the ends of the cotton strapping and frayed.

    If I had a sewing machine would try it myself and may try and get one to see what I can come up with.

    Just a thought...
