You expected the Forvm to vote differently?

The image of the finalists is like a colorblindness chart. I couldn't begin to guess at the colors in entries 5 through 9, lovely as I'm sure they are.

You should sweeten your incentive by offering a share of your royalty with fellow SFers who've voted for you

The color scheme on #1 is nice =)

If there is a 5% difference between the first and the second places, I think you should award both.

Congrats Parker! Well played to all, that was very close, especially for AWXD vs Parker.

Congratulations to our winner! I'll be going to Italy in a couple weeks and will place the order in person with the maker. Ties should follow in 6-8 weeks.

I think Parker cheated, I saw a Church's tie just like that yesterday

I learned this week that (despite a previous indication to the contrary) my knit tie maker can't make knits with four colors. In consultation with the winner of the design contest, the winning tie has been modified. It should be available in around four weeks, in this and two additional colorways.
