English term or phrase: wide at the blade
Si parla di cravatte, ma in questo contesto non capisco cosa significhi di preciso "blade". Grazie in anticipo per qualsiasi suggerimento

XX ties—the tie that launched the XX lifestyle—are handmade in pure silk twill with a fully fitted interlining and offered in an array of signature colors and patterns. Four inches wide **at the blade** and longer than other ties, the wider knot effortlessly complements YY dress shirt collars.

codino


Explanation:
Ciao, "blade" corrisponde al "codino" della cravatta, termine tecnico per indicare la parte finale della cravatta, la quale termina a forma angolare. Quindi potresti tradurre con "larghezza all'altezza del codino"!!

Explanation:
"blade" è la parte anteriore della cravatta, quella più lunga, per intenderci. La cui forma (se si immagina divisa in due parti) ricorda la sagoma della lama di un grosso coltello o di un pugnale.
Spero sia d'aiuto.
