hive mind - shortening neckties?

[anotheranon]

A search for "shorten necktie" has netted me tips for hiding the long end but no diagrams of where to snip the thing to take off a few inches. I'm reluctant to fly blind because the ties in question are nice silk and bias cut, which is a recipe for things going wrong. Anyone care to share?

Is the back the skinny end?

Yes. If you want to preserve the tie's overall length, you can just tuck that back part up inside itself and whip stitch it in place. This is the time honored way of making a man's tie fit a boy.
