Those are great. I'm really enjoying cream ties lately. Not commonly done well.

Dries Van Noten did some amazing paisleys a few years back.

I like the colors of the cream one, but the patterns are too small. Make it a pattern similar to the orange one, and I'm sold.

I don't normally go for orange, but I do like that one.

I only have one, and it's also fairly lonely.

Perhaps we could mate the orange and purple paisley's to spawn some more paisley ties in a bastard red?

Better still, you could submit it to my closet where it will have many buddies.

I think because of the complexity of the sperm-like shapes, paisley ties should have sparser designs. The ones with shapes spread out over a grid are better than the ones with huge interlocking paisleys (eg. the orange one).
