Soporific Tie Pr0n - Page 11

Why is wool/silk summery? I would think it's wintery, but less so than pure wool.

Is there anybody on here who doesn't have that tie? Seems to have become the unofficial SFCT™ (StyleForvmClubTie™). Mine is also the blue model. Back to topic. Im not sure whether all of these qualify as soporific, you decide: Left to right: Printed heavy silk. Drakes. Printed thin silk. Vintage from my Grandfather. Wool. Italian maker (anyone informed on details?) for Eduard Meier. Printed foulard silk. Seisser & Cie. Wool. Cravats of London for my local shirtmaker. Fuzzy panama weave slik. Cravats of london for my local shirtmaker. Wool. Cravats of London for my local sirtmaker.

I should post some of my Sulka ties, which are so narcotic that they should come with a warning label.

If you are speaking about the Atkinsons poplin, they are indeed for Fall/Winter. I don't expect this works everywhere but in the tri-state area of NY/NJ/CT this sort of tie has a certain shimmer to it that mirrors the heat waves associated with our summers. A handful of well dressed men would wear these as summer ties because they have a strong color and "lift" the dullness of a cotton poplin or tropical worsted suit. They say, if you look at poplin ties at just the right angle you can hear cicadas.

Don't know if I'd call these soporific. They make me dizzy if I look too long. (I have a similar houndstooth in light and dark blue, by the way. Same effect.) Love your navy Capelli, though. jmark

Just got the left two last week and received the right two a day ago. From left to right: Tie Your Tie, Finamore, Marinella, Marinella

From a recent ebay auction I didn't win unfortunately.

pulled the trigger on this Attolini after drooling over it for a long time

honey brown is such a rare and rich looking color I couldn't help myself

a great Spring/Summer tie

from left to right:
1) Brioni
2) Sam Hober 6-fold
3) T&A cashmere
4) Charvet
5) Sam Hober 6-fold
6) Charvet

That is a SOLID solid navy tie collection.

I'm not a big fan of crazy patterns/colors on ties. I think one could build their entire wardrobe around navy ties.

I should take a pic but counting all the different fabrics off the top of my head, I have solid navy in:

- Grenadine silk

- Silk knit (x 2)

- Wool (x2; one is darker, more midnight)

- Wool knit

- Silk/cotton twill

- Thinwhale corduroy (cotton/cashmere blend)

- Linen/silk blend

I think that's it but I may be forgetting some.

You and Ed should have a solid navy tie showdown.
