I bought one for $20 traced it out, mirror imaged it, added a quarter inch seam all around and voila, i've been pounding out cravats since.

Grab a copy of the Nov/Dec Civil War Historian and read Anna's article. Although writen as an article on ladies cravats, the tie pattern is EXACTLY the same as a man's tie..EXACTLY the same!
It has great illustrations and gives step-by-step instructions on how to make it.
