Magnoli Montenegro Tie - Very Narrow?

Hi All
I received my Montenegro Tie today from Magnoli. As you would expect from Indy the quality of the tie is excellent and the pattern spot-on to the onscreen version.
However the tie is very narrow until it very sharply widens at the end to the usual 3.5 inch width. It looks more like a spade with a wide head and a narrow handle! It, therefore, in my opinion does not look right.
I also ordered the Royale Tie off him which arrived a week or so ago - again an excellent quality piece - but this tie is of the usual widths / measurements you find on typcial traditional tie. That is the tie widens from the narrow end to the wide end at a much more gradual angle.
Was the onscreen version of the Montenegro tie very narrow too?
Anyone else received this tie yet?

A sense of humour is no laughing matter!

Who made the Montenegro tie, anyways?
I have a photo of both together to compare but I don't know how to upload a photo to this forum? Any ideas?

Just upload it to http://www.imglab.com/ and put up the link.
I did email him and ask if the Montenegro tie could be produced using the same dimensions as the Royale tie. However he replied saying no as the Montenegro ties were made in lots and that the run had been completed.
Its a real shame as the tie - and this is obviously just my opinion - just doesn't look right being so narrow. It is not a skinny tie as the blade is still wide but as you can see from the pic it narrows rather sharply. The pattern is perfect and the quality of the tie excellent - just not the dimensions.
I guess in beginning this thread I was wondering if the onscreen version worn by DC was also narrow - hence why Magnoli have made it this way. Looking at the movie I can't see it but maybe you guys know better? Indeed you guys may well love the tie this way - I don't know

Have a look at this photo on Monza's list:

Cheers for the link
I am now 99% sure the Magnoli version of the Montenegro tie is too narrow and should be the same dimensions as his Royale tie to be screen accurate.

No
Thanks for the heads up on this one and hoping Magnoli will have an updated version of this great tie soon...
Any news on his upcoming tie projects?
So although the Montenegro tie was disappointing the Royale and Quantum ties are most certainly worth getting.
A big well done to Indy on those two! I just hope he remakes the Montenegro tie with the normal dimensions too!

Shocking service in my opinion.
I received my tie last week and it is narrow as well. I think the pattern and quality is awesome otherwise. I contacted him and he said that he's looking into a second run. He said for those who already have one of these, they will be able to order the new version at half price.
I will certainly be getting the new tie!
Anyone know when Indy will be accepting orders for it?
