Do you have tie that didn't make the cut for Manton's Soporific Tie Appreciation thread, but isn't quite a fun tie? Try it out here. For your consideration:

Hmm. I think those qualify. They are flashier than average and not what I would wear, but not what I would call fun, either. Good work.

Agreed. They're more in the fun side.

Also, when the first ties posted are Rubinacci bespoke, then people here (except very few) generally have nothing else to add...

Well, quality is secondary to style in this thread. I just thought it would be neat to see what ties people pick for themselves when they are feeling somewhat adventurous, but far from drunkenly foolish.

I don't think this is soporific enough and thus belongs to this thread.

^^^ Love the tie, but I'm not sure it's mildly unsoporific. Classic pattern, muted colors. If it's not straight-up soporific, it's just barely not.
