I have for sale a set of three CARLO FRANCO ties in mint condition with no flaws purchased earlier this year. Asking $100 for entire set shipped within U.S. The colors rendered in photo are quite accurate. I tried them with various shirts to experience how the seven folds knotted and to compare them with others. Comes with original Carlo Franco boxes. Contact me at [email protected] for questions and pics.

Singlechange, you should hang on to these for a while. CF ties are about to become rare collector's items and of extremely high value. Down the road these ties could bring a fortune.

Pardon my ignorance, but will these no longer be produced in the near future? Or am I missing a joke of some sort?

The tie in the middle is a very dark brown, almost black. The catalog described is as brown though.

Do a search on the subject and you'll discover all you could want to know and more. In short, a lot of people who ordered ties ended up waiting a very, very long time for them, while others still haven't received them. The business owner, formerly prominent in the online clothing boards, no longer posts, or hasn't lately.

Ah yes ... it's all coming back to me now. I do recall this. Thanks. I understand the "humor" now.

For the record, my last CF tie started to fall apart on the third wearing. I posted about this experience on AAAC.

Ah, well then I stand corrected. Either that or since it was your last tie, perhaps the great CF disappearance occured halfway through the construction of your tie. Yours might be the real collectors item here!
