Knit Ties

[BeaconHillBoston]

Where do you guys buy your knits? Any good onlines sources?

Searched and didn't find much on the subject.

Considering Dion.

Depends on the width you want. J Press is quite wide - wider than 3 cm. Paul Stuart is 3 cm on the nose. Kent Wang tends to be 2.75 (it will say so on the website), Howard Yount (usually, but again check the website) and Drakes knits are 2.5 cm.

Haven't bought knit ties here, but I've bought other things and their service is top notch.

You could also try J. Press, J. Crew may have some (probably skinny), Brooks Brothers, etc.

Thanks guys I think the 2.5 inches Drakes might be a good option.

Drakes are great and come in a variety of colors, but I'd check out Howard Yount as well if you like that width. They tend to be about half the price of Drakes, and if they have the color you want you could save some money. Plus Yount has a good return policy.

I assume you guys mean inches not cm.

Was just about to say the same thing. 2.5cm would be incredibly narrow, even for a knit.

Youre both right... inches

Thx!

Is the official website the best place to buy?

Drakes London. Kent Wang.

J Crew and Brooks are a good place to start.

Just a few days ago I got a new catalog from Ben Silver and was contemplating one of their knit ties, they look nice and they have a ton of colors to pick from, they are $85 and you can find them online at the link below:

I've never purchased anything from them, but I believe I actually discovered them here on Style Forum a few months ago and put myself on their mailing list.

Heh yeah good pickup.

Dion - 100.00 Saw these in person - very nice

Yount - 65.00 - Look awesome, I dig the pink and sku blue w red dot options

Oconnel - 65.00 - The best solids I have seen. Look to be very high quality. A little long and wide @ 3" x 59"

Brooks - I dig the navy and pink stripe, and it can be had for 57.00 via their ff sale. Not sure I like it as much as the Yount options.

Is there any SF deal for the Yount knits? Or is paying full retail acceptable in this case.

Kent Wang, Rubinacci. Ben Silver's are not bad. Gallo, if you can find them.
