Would these interesting little things be only suitable for fall and winter?Originally Posted by TyCooN
No. In fact, they seem more proper in spring/summer. While silk wovens are always in season, knit ties (of all materials) work best with warm weather clothing and wool wovens make the most sense in fall/winter.

I've found them hard to pull off in the banking / private equity world...Hermes and Ferragamo ties are the go to.

Really? Hermes and Ferragamo make some nice ties, but if you're talking about prints (which is what both Hermes and Ferragamo are known for), wouldn't a nice solid or striped knit tie actually be more appropriate?

I prefer knits for winter over summer just because they tend to weigh more than my cotton summer ties.

Yay. I have a blue Jcrew one and a BR one I picked up for 20 bucks b/c they mismarked it. Its not as slim, about 2.5 but oh well.Originally Posted by irbe
I scored about 5 from J Crew at about $20 a piece. Not too bad considering they're almost $70 a pop...and is the one you got from BR orange or gray?

Totally. I have about a bakers dozen of them in all shades and stripes and solds and wear them all the time.
The RL Black Label/Polo/Rugby ones are the best. The BR and J Crew ones stretch, are made in China and feel cheap. You can get the Ralph ones on sale too.
Prada makes some cool ones, they look like macrame from the 70s, in a good way. Very louche.
