+1 I've been checking the website for the A&S irish poplin stripe once a week for months! Like a little child counting down the days of Christmas.

Yes, David, I would like something similar to that silk.

Also, I'm a fan of the smaller geometric patterns, like these:








To answer one of your original questions, I have this Drake's tie at home and the ribs run vertical.

It doesn't hurt as bad as the wait for the ties themselves.

Tell me about it! Based on David's updates on the website, I feel like I'm mere days away from receiving my series of blues.

Mildly Consumptive, You are correct sooner or later we will need to hire a photographer. At the moment we are holding back on purpose so that we can keep our orders at a reasonable level in terms of production. I will post again about madders as I have some ideas that I am thinking about.

Those are pretty sweet. I think I need to hang out for sale time though, I cant see dropping that much dime on one, even though I know they are worth it.

Cappelli has, or recently had, all those silks FWIW.

Had. They are no more. But as you know they all come from the same source.

Which source, just to know ?

Thanks in advance,

Paul Stewart has many of these same patterns, all made by Drake. Not sure if the pricing is better or worse.

They are ~$150 IIRC.

I should have written that the silks all come from the same source. Drakes and Cappelli each sew their own neckties.

Very nice ties, with a soft smooth hand. Not sticky or gummy, however, if that's what you're looking for. I have a couple of RL PSs with that gummy feel, and these do not feel the same way.
