Obviously, I didn't design them myself, but I own them and think they are excellent stripes which I haven't seen elsewhere. From R-L, wool, cotton, silk.

Okay, I've spend enough time playing around with my submissions. These are some that I propose, a bit of a mixed bag.

Something to wear with seersucker and cotton for the summer?



These are based on classic designs, but I think might work nicely in a silk knit.
They are supposed to be BB#1, A&S Repp classics, but with the twist being that they're horizontal.


Dark stripes. To my eye, they look less crummy/more feasible at full image size.

These say spring to me:



Of course, personally, I'd prefer it if the ties didn't have square ends... but you weren't really soliciting those sorts of suggestions.

Finally found some time for this. Here's a few "Fall" ties:

And a few "Spring" ties including the "Baron" tie:

a few more just under the wire. This is harder than I thought...

Red, blue, crimson
Aqua, pale blue
Navy, royal, birdsegg
Lavender, grey
Black, charcoal
Maroon, orange, mauve

Very nice (as long as the small stripe between the brown and orange isn't pink). How do we make this one win?

Today's the last day to enter, so get your final designs in while you can.

I'll be picking the finalists in the next few days and will then start a thread for voting on a winner.

First it must assassinate the presumptive winner:
