I really like that navy/cream/red tie. Will be ordering one soon!

I really like that navy/cream/red too. Reminds me of a coral snake. I'd like something in a black/sea foam/dark green similar to the navy/cream/red above.

I want to join! Im very competitive. I have no idea how to transfer my ideas from my mind onto an internet post

Messy stripes!

thank god I am not a designer, managed to be both derivative and not very good. Anyway, the green was meant to be more like a forest in spring time, and the black stripes probably thinner, the thing is meant to look spring like. Vmans blue one wins for me so far.

Whoops, I missed the part about stripes only. Thanks for the heads up TBSDSpaniard.

Here are my updated entries:

1.) Navy background, alternating periwinkle and cream stripes



2.) Burgundy background, alternating cream and navy stripes

Hoiw are you guys making these designs?

2 1/4" Wide Tie
3 - 1/2" Stripes, 1/4" Apart
Top stripe is 12" up from the bottom end of the tie

BTW, if you dont use this, how much is it to make a sample?
