I purchased this off of ebay and would be my first grenadine tie. The brand is Hugh Parson. I dont know who that is but the construction is pretty good.

Thoughts?

Cheers

Thanks, gents. A grenadine for $10. I'm pretty happy with that

I seem to remember - am I correct? - that only one or two weavers worldwide have the machinery to do grenadine...

Gents,

Would I be able to wear this tie with a navy suit or is grey, charcoal and possibly black (eek!) the only options?

Cheers

Upon further review, I agree.

The holes are pretty clear on the back side of the tie.
