Thanks for all the cards and letters guys good to be back!
Trying to atone for my madras sins yesterday.
I sometimes wonder if civilians see the creasing on unlined ties and think, "Why doesn't that guy get rid of that tie? It's all messed up!"
I'd actually like to revisit this in the hopes that someone can enlighten me.
I'm sort of trying to get my head around this. Those creases would be unattractive on a lined tie, wouldn't they? Does the fact that the wearer knows it's unlined make them attractive?
I once witnessed an exchange on /fa/ where someone ridiculed a cartoonish Sartorialist photo (adjective redundant?) of a guy wearing a bright pink motorcycle jacket. The response was something along the lines of "OP doesn't realize the jacket is Comme des Garçons". I'm curious if this sort of thing is similarly worn as a communication between "insiders" at the expense of making a different impression on everyone else?
When I see a hand rolled tip tie worn with a business suit, I cringe.
