All these stripes,why no love for the new burgundy shang tsung


Well personally I already have a burgundy knit from HC so don't really have need for another solid burgundy tie at this point in time. OTOH I don't have that many striped ties in my collection, and I think the triple stripe one is quite unique and a bit playful at the same time - looks great with navy or grey jacket IMO.

My new Henry Carter block stripes arrived yesterday. First outing for the green/brown:



Like all of the HC ties I own, the finishing is excellent, the weight is perfect, and the knot is exactly the size I like.

Can't post selfies like the other guys, because I rarely take them but in doing some moving around I noticed I had a bit of a henry carter collection happening. ties, socks and squares.

One of my favourite ties full stop - the perfect winter tie IMO. HC, if you do get around to making a burgundy challis tie with little trouts on it put me down for one straight away!

I would love to make this happen too, long been on my wish list. I'll start thinking about winter once the holidays are done and dusted.

I like it a lot. That and the green are the two nicest, I think, he now carries. I believe the green pushed @Darkside to break his current tie buying hiatus.

Yes, it did. And the GetCarter promotion prompted me to order the Rust Grenadine as well.

The slubbiness is strong on this one.

Wearing the burgundy shang tsung today, love this tie.

I don't want to sounds too dramatic but whether you love ties or just have to wear them, the style forum angels weep for those who dont have this in their collection.
