What makes good anything? Quality of materials and craftsmanship. Raw materials like silk sourced from Macclfield or England, Cashmere or Wool from Scotland, Grenadine woven in Como etc.. Then that hand crafting by a very skilled professional for the hand folding, internal construction, shaping, the lining, the body, taper, width etc... The ties you see aren't made in Italy, they may say they are, but they are not. They take advantages of loopholes in worldwide textiles regulation laws. Things like where the final piece of work is done is where the tag will say it was made. Thus cheap chinese silk, cheap chinese labor completing 99% of construction, and a small, low overhead workshop located in Italy to apply a keeper or a logo or something. You now have a tie that can legally state it was made in Italy. Charles Trywhitt engages greatly in said practices.What exactly makes a good tie? I mean, i've bought dozens of nice ones, mostly from brands I know to be excellent, but it seems like I run across so many that would still be decent buys at 1 or 2 dollars. Material feels good, made in italy tags, design isn't too tacky, etc.
They are a absolutely a thing, and have niche market. What size are they? I may know a few people that would be interested.Sneaker-heads: are USA made vtg New Balance a thing? Guessing early 80s?
A thing, they look like the 620 model, but made in USA

Where are they made? Not a huge Adidas guy myself, but I know they too have their own niche market, especially stuff made in Germany, France, Yugoslavia, etc.
Do you guys Instagram? Let's be friends?

These guys are also a great option. You can even send in tracings and get custom gloves.
