Does anyone have a sewing pattern for a wide necktie?

I think I've found a use for that dark brown corduroy jacket. There's a 1970s costume contest at a convention in three weeks. If I can piece together a hideous crazy-quilt of fabrics before next Friday, I could make a 1970s-style DIY necktie that would probably win it.

You could just pin some other fabric on top of the existing lapels for the costume. You're welcome to look through my fabric stash. (I just got out some bright orange acrylic stuff today for Halloween projects.) And thrift stores might possibly have actual '70s ties cheaply.
