Wedding Ties - Page 3

My point was not to be able to identify the groom. It was to give him some special status on His day.

I've strayed from 'identifying myself' on my wedding day. I don't like the idea of being more formal than my groomsmen, and I didn't ask them to all wear the same tie or colors, so it's not like I can easily differentiate myself.

Most people do not wear a morning suit to a wedding. Hell most people don't even wear what I would call a proper lounge (stroller) suit to a wedding.

A Morning suit is white tie for the day, and includes a tails coat, wing collar, waistcoat and top hat (I think the appropriate colour is dove gray for the jacket). My uncle got married in one.

OK, let's see if I got this right. The first three are wedding ties because of the color and pattern. The fourth is a macclesfield, but not a wedding tie because of the color pattern, correct?


1. RLPL glen plaid
2. Thomas Pink woven silk
3. BB mini-houndstooth in navy (puppy's tooth?)
4. BB mint green macclesfield

Wow. It is so not 'His' day. The day before the wedding is the last 'His' day for a long time. As for special status? A buttonhole usually works.

It appears that there are other conceptualizations of wedding ties....

Here are a few:


(l to r) vintage Holliday & Brown, Harold Powell, RL Polo, Robert Talbott
The H&B and Powell are probably a bit dark to wear to a wedding.



Ben Silver, Ike Behar, RLPL


Non-wedding wedding ties:

Etro, Nick Hilton

I bought this one fairly recently, in part out of a motivation to have a decent tie for attending weddings:

I might pick one up as well. That should make Tomasso happy .

Just be careful that the Drakes non-knit ties are pretty thick. A four-in-hand is relatively small, but will definitely be bigger than what you typically wear. They have a pretty nice sweet spot for the knot, however.
