Do you button all three buttons on a 3 button jacket, particularly a 3 roll 2?

Is the blue gingham check tie in the video the same blue gingham check listed for sale here (3rd one down)?

http://shoponline.drakes-london.com/...d%20weave.aspx

The check in the video appears smaller than the check in the linked tie, but the linked tie is the closest match I could find on the Drake's website.

Very interesting video. Thank you.

Nice slide-show with commentary. Will Drakes ever have another effing sale? Discuss.

K3? Explain. I assume the madders won't go on sale, so I had my eye on some blues:

and some foulards:

With Drakes tastes levels being so high, I could buy most of the ties on their site.

Never use the keeper.

The bow ties - they say "Slide adjust sizing (one size fits all) hook and eye fastening so that the bow can be taken off leaving the bow tied if wished". So this isn't a pre-tied bow tie?

BTW - ties are £55, bow ties £35. Was going to added the gingham and large check ties, but I have too many similar ones already. Added one tartan and a mix of others, but I have a feeling some will be cheaper elsewhere later.

This page is currently being updated. Please try again later today. Sorry for the inconvenience

I can open the knitwear and other pages and there are no reductions there AFAIK
