by way of introduction

[blueorigami]

long time reader first time poster. just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 25 and have been wearing ties and jackets for the past 2 years as required by my employer. What was at the time a silly requirement has become a fascination and happy hobby as I spend many contented hours looking for deals around the great city of Chicago. On a slightly more personal note I’d like to thank StyleForum and AAAC for enlightening me to the sartorial panache of the four-in-hand knot as I was previously a full windsor man.

Welcome.

Ironically, I was taught the FIH when I was like 8 - didn't know any other knots until coming to these boards.

Welcome Blue, I too live in the Chi-town area (northshore), I think I have a pretty good grip of where to look, so if you ever need some food for thought, hit me up!
