Hey there most of the customs I do and sell are in the 1/6 scale. For the parts your looking for you might want to check the following stores:

https://www.monkeydepot.com

https://www.toyanxiety.com

https://www.war-toys.com

All these stores sell loose 1/6 scale items. From shoes to socks to the eye glasses to sun glasses.

As for the tie Clark always looked best to me in the comics with royal blue suit, white dress shirt, black dress shoes, and red tie. If you can't find a tie that you like they are pretty easy to make. Buy some cloth bias tape at Wal-Mart or fabric store cut to length, fold over a piece of elastic, leave more in the front then in the back, stitch or glue or fabric tack into place on the elastic, cut tips of your bias tape at 45 degree points. Then wrap a small piece of the bias tape at the top near were you folded it over your elastic to form your Windsor knot again secure with a stitch, glue, or fabric tack. Now you will have a tie you can fit right over your figure's head. Practice and have fun... Don't get discouraged if you mess up, just remember you are doing this for fun. If there is anything I can do to help just PM me.
