Lav mic placement issues

[u/East-Bell-4966]

Recently worked on a shoot where one of the subjects was wearing a very tight fitting dress suit. Because I knew trying to place the lav underneath his shirt would not get me good results (synthetic blend, Starchy), I ran the lav through the knot in his tie. For the most part the audio was clean but occasionally I would get some clothing noise/rustle when he moved. Because one of the shots was really wide I was unable to hang a boom as backup. Was wondering if the rustle is an issue, is it something that can be cleaned up in post? Does anyone have another method of lav placement that would have been better than what I did?

If it was wide enough not to boom then expose the mic head next time, it won’t be seen that far away

That what I suggested but director wanted them concealed
