I'm not sold on the idea of wearing a lighter blue tie with my navy blue BB 1818 Fitzgerald and a white dress shirt to job interviews. I've heard that red ties are for old men. I don't like predominantly red ties to begin with. Long story short, a few pages of google image search later, I find this tie worn by Stephen Colbert that seems a perfect balance of red and navy blue to go with the navy blue jacket and white dress shirt. Does anyone know offhand where I can find the same or a comparable tie? I'm open to other recommendations as well.

Someone will probably be along to tell you who is credited as Colbert's wardrobe supplier, in the meantime I'll just say that from the small pic it looks a little like this.
