Neckties: A Discussion Thread

[conradwu]

Not sure if this is on topic 100% but it is about ties.
I'm a uni student from Australia and I want to start a tie company, so I wanted to ask serious tie fans what they value in a tie.
My vision is to make some ties that stretch the boundaries in terms of fabric used and patterns, while staying appropriate for work.
Can I ask some questions?

I call dibs on ancient madder print raw silk (of course)/vicuna blend grenadine

Untipped, seven fold with horsehair slip stitch?

 

[conradwu]

7 fold self-tipped (more vicuna = more cred), cashmere lined with the signature of approval of sprezz from some guy with a dope beard and shades in Pitti

 

[Academic2]

Nah.

Edible ties in different flavors ...

Cheers,

Ac

Inverted shirt + tie combo set, shirt is made of wool flannel (hand rolled egdes) and tie is made of S170s Rubinelli cotton. Embroidered initials optional

Easily shift between business formal and business casual with a flick of the wrist.

I don't think we can continue this without input from The Eric Glennie

And since you've entered the fray, thanks for making the only check-patterned tie I actually wear.

Thanks for the replies thus far.
What patterns do you typically wear for work? If you wear ties on the weekend or just generally to go out in what patterns do you wear then?
Is there anything you really hate in a tie?

 

[sprout2]

Usually wear this to work most days

 

[dimitrioup]

Seriously?
