If I were both sane and practically selfish, I wouldn't have even mentioned the maker.
I think it was a public-spirited gesture.

Ties are somewhat complex a subject. Certainly the desire to not pay a lot for a simple piece of silk is offset by the distaste that someone else is wearing the same tie. It may not be a big deal if it's someone who you believe resides above you on the pecking order but it's irking when someone below wears them. And, this is the risk you run when you shop at a place everyone can afford or you buy ties from a maker that churns them out in large numbers.
Except when I was at Oxford, where college and club ties were common apparel, I don't think I have ever in my long life encountered anyone wearing a tie I owned, much less one that I was wearing at the moment.
I meant similar pattern or brand.
The only reason to wear a tie like this around your neck is if you are hanging yourself with it, of course put a tie like this around your neck and you'll want to hang yourself.

And, if the CEO notices every one of the VPs are wearing Hermes, he might switch to Victoria Richards.
I am fairly conservative, so I prefer to avoid extremes in necktie width and try to cultivate a timeless style rather than be swayed the trends of fashion. A width of 3 1/4 inches is about right for me.
Ok. What are some good mall brandish tie brands to look out for when they're on sale?
I can't think of one CEO who would give a damn.
I'm especially perplexed by FNB's reference to Brummel at the end. Is it meant to be ironic? Surely gaudy ties such as those are the very antithesis of everything Brummel stood for.
Serious question, FNB. Would you wear one of those ties out of the house?
