Good, Bad, Ugly Costume, Black Neck Band, Neck Tie, Neckerchief for the Man With No Name, TMWNN.  Clint Eastwood character from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, A Fistful for Dollars, and For a Few Dollars More, the first Spaghetti Westerns.

As I created my TMWNN costume, I had to find or make a neckband so I made one just like this:  about 32" long (not counting the tapered ends) and about 1-3/4" wide band of flat black polyester.  Making a neckband like this is pretty easy, cut a long strip of material, sew it closed, turn it inside out, finish the end, iron it flat and then wrinkle it up.  What makes this Neckband so unique isn't it's size or how it's constructed but how it looks so dirty and sweat-stained.  I experimented with a few household ingredients to find one that really produces a stain with nice crusty white edges, that is safe enough to eat/drink, won't irritate the skin, is common and cheap.  You can use a stained neckband over and over, or you can rinse it out and re-apply each time if you want it to look a little more or less sweaty.  I will include instructions on how to sweat-stain the neckband (could come in handy for other costume items!)

  

I started selling these ties in September of 2022 and by Halloween I've sold 20, so here are 5 more.  I will continue to make them is batches of 5 pieces.

I also make TMWNN vests, the best on the market at their price point, I believe, but they tend to go quickly, so you have to check often.  I suggest saving a search with notifications for Clint Eastwood Vest, that way you will get an email notifying you that a new listing is posted.

About Bufords_Garage_Sale:  My name is Buford and this is my garage-type sale.  Everything I sell is either personally made by me, such as my Clint Eastwood Good, Bad, and Ugly vests and neckbands, or has been owned and used by me.  I must give this fair notice: there are two cats in Buford’s garage, and there may be a stray cat hair on any item. I will inspect every item and use an adhesive lint roller and/or a lint brush to remove all cat hair, but some can be very fine and may persist.  If you are extremely sensitive to cats or cat dander, I suggest you don’t order any items from me.  And if you do find a cat hair, please forgive me.
