What do you think of this tie?

[CharlesAlexander]

I wasn't completely in love with it it came out, but I think it can work for some people. I'm on the fence about putting it up on my website. Wanted to get SF's opinon first.

 

[Cordovan]

Mixed feelings -would hesitate posting it on your site.

I voted nay and I like geometric patterns overall.

 

[jkw]

I'm not a huge fan of the colours, and the pattern doesn't appeal to me either.
I don't want to say cheap, but to me it looks a bit dated or novelty - just doesn't look quite right. I also think that it would look out of place among your other beautiful ties.

 

[EL72]

It's ugly.

 

[DaveDr89]

not my cup of tea either ... not too pleasing to the eye IMHO

 

[Mr Unger]

not my cup... but im a coward when it comes to colours.

 

[CharlesAlexander]

Yeah, I wasnt really liking it either. Consider it scraped.

I think if you could lose the orange, it'd be alright.​

I know you already ghosted the tie - but just a comment as to why I think it doesn't work. The Orange/Red combo is visually dissonant due to their relatively adjacent proximity. Were the orange changed to a green tone, or even cream or grey - it would be more visually pleasing.

I've seen this kind of tonal combo work only when the silk had a very high satin chroma and the hue's were saturated in a jewel tone.

Nah, nothing can save a tie from that checkerboard square pattern.

And the red and the squares. I agree.

It's simply fugly

 

[yachtie]

Neither fish nor fowl. That and I really don't like horizontal checks on ties.

 

[Concordia]

Pattern potentially interesting. Don't care for the color, although could imagine someone else finding a use for it.

 

[citoyen]

this is one real ugly and disturbing tie. that said i admit being one of the paisley lovers... can you imagine looking through a caleidoscope (hope you angle-saxon guys can work with this term...

) ? the tie looks like if the peek through that has gone totally wrong.
