Meant to ask...how do you like those Rubinacci watches?

Well, don't worry.

I have one of those Rubinacci pour Carlyle unlined seven-folds, but I've been too scared to wear it.

I think you will like it, but you might get hooked on high quality clothing.

I've worn my Rubinacci ties. Just do it. You'll be OK.

Mine are not 7-fold though. I don't know if that changes the equation.

I am trying to avoid that at all cost.

Once Foo told me about what happened to his in the bathroom, I discontinued wearing neckties in the shower.

Oh, I've had the 3-folds for years...back from when Louis carried them in large numbers.

The 7-fold Rubinacci are completely and utterly different beasts...they are unlike any necktie that I have ever seen.

You and Foo are slightly more anal than I am. My ties are generally slightly wrinkled. I deal with it.

You never did give your appraisal of the quality versus the seventy five other brands you have carefully inspected. How does it stack up?

It's the post-shower wearing that is the most critical.

Matt, the condition of this tie would make you cry for Mother Napoli.

I'm practicing with my practice tie.

The only steam that will unwrinkle it:

In all seriousness, I think it's beyond steam. I'm going to take it to Tiecrafters some time and see what can be done.
