IMO, the best kind of stabilizer to use for men's ties is fusible tricot. Last time I checked JoAnn's they had it, but pre-cut in plastic bags and relatively expensive. It's much cheaper to purchase it online from a drapery company. Here's where I bought mine:

Just search for "fusible tricot". I purchased the 60" fusible tricot interfacing, not the rolls.

Be aware that using a fusible will stiffen the tie fabric quite a bit. Even the fusible tricot does this; also makes the fabric thicker. However, the fusible tricot lets the tie fabric remain flexible.
