If you are planning on purchasing new uniform ties for your company, you need to know about extra long ties.

Extra long ties are, as the name suggests, slightly longer than a normal necktie (about 2-3 inches). They are designed for those men that cannot tie their ties to the right length. Tall men, above 6′3″ typcically need extra long ties.

How many XL neckties do you need for your order?

When ordering ties for your company, try to find out how many men are above 6′3″. If this is too difficult, or you prefer not to send out an e-mail asking everyone to reply with this information, look at the average height of US men. Accorgind to the US Dept. of Health, the average US adult male is 5′9″. Less than 2% of men are taller than 6′3″. With other words, if you are unsure about how many extra long ties to order for your uniform ties, order about 3-5% of your order as XL neckties. Most reputable necktie resellers will be able to supply any necktie design in regular and XL size.
