I think many recent posters here need to review the definition of "soporific":

Quote:

sop·o·rif·ic
/ˌsäpəˈrifik/
Adjective
Tending to induce drowsiness or sleep.

Those bright tartans and bright red and orange and green Capellis: NOT SOPORIFIC. AT ALL.

Thanks for the replies. Seems like a good excuse for me to start buying better ties.

Very nice stuff, Kent. Is this a picture from the trunk show?

Sorry to wake people up from their sleep again, but I really think I can see on their website that the ties from Drake's are not quite symmetrical at the tip. Not much, but there seems to be a small difference. I don't know if it's on purpose or not. It must be possible to make a tip that is completely symmetrical. Probably nothing to fuss about, but a bit strange I think.

This would not surprise me in the least. Most were purchased before I really knew what to look for in a tie.

Anyway, cross post of my purchase from our newest AV, Unipair:
