Frui makes the house ties for BnTailor.

I don't own one (yet), but I've handled them a number of times. Very, very close to being on par with Vanda. Or perhaps they are.

Anyway, their website is set up for just Korean purchases, but I want to try and introduce them to SF because a) I want to buy a few anyway and b) I've realized that there are a lot less tie options out there than I originally imagined and c) it's always cool to be involved in stuff like this.

I'll try to see if we can get any sort of discount. Even if we can't, it's still a solid deal. I'll also need to get their quantity on hand since the best deals are on the S/S 14 ties (76 dollars apiece).

I figure, if we have multiple continents involved, we'll need a shipping "hub" in each. I'll ship to anyone in North America buying. I'm sure we can find a European and an Oceanian willing to help out.

Yup. All 8.5-9cm with some variation within that range for each tie.

Changjin got back to me. S/S 14 is all out. I'm going to pick up something from F/W (the wine wool or the flecked brown). But a bit of the thrill is gone. Talking with him about S/S 15.

I'll keep y'all posted with what develops.

Clag - I would have purchased 3 or 4 ties from the S/S 14 collection were it not sold out. IF S/S 15 has similar options you can count me in for probably the same amount of ties. Thanks and cheers!

I'm in for 8.5-9cm and so long as they are not really short...I typically have my ties made 154cm...but I can do as short as 150cm.

I really like the brown slubby and the last tie with that pinkish-red overcheck. Would be killing it in that tie and a 3-piece peak lapel navy flannel chalkstripe.

Probably in, depending on what's available. Sad that that last green is out of stock.

Alright, I think I'm going to proceed forward with this. S/S 14 is all sold out, but post anything from FW or S/S 15 (the linen and cotton one mostly...pretty much anything that's not 75 dollars/82,000 won) that y'all want. Just link from the website (you can scroll down for length/width and other specs).

I'm getting one of these

and perhaps one of these if Mrs. Claghorn is feeling agreeable

They are 148-150 cm (148 as a min, 150 as a max. There is some variability.) and 8.5-9 cm

So I know

@Murlsquirl (gets some cashmere)

@PCK1

@NewYawker





And @Coxsackie , I assume you are getting the most "F U" tie they have to offer?
