All joking aside, in my very humble opinion, the CF paisley/repp combo ties are the ugliest "high end" ties I have ever, ever seen. I would never have even been able to imagine such an abomination.

Vintage BB. Good colors.

I think the paisleys are saying to each other, 'yes, touch me there...'

It's like the mitosis tie.

You just have to be a wet blanket, don't you?

Yeah, I really wonder who was picking those designs... I also noticed how much "spermier" the Carlo Franco paisley designs are compared to other paisleys. Hmmm.

Where in the world do you people wear these ties? I see maybe 2-3 ties in this entire thread that I would be willing to wear.

I wear mine everywhere. They seem appropriate for all occasions to me.

If you had that in a dark burgundy, instead of Navy, it would be love at first sight.

I looked at them all, and wanted to feel the spark. But alas, it just wasn't there.

However - those dark blue navy with spring flowers, those are pretty nice.

I know its uncooth to ask - but in terms of quality, how would these fare in a cage match with Hober or Isaia/Nicky/Battistoni?
