I don't know if it's the pollution or the unmitigated awesomeness that requires a different word.

I just googled Belmar (having never heard of it) and this is the first image. NSFW

Yeah, the Jersey Shore is really great.

I've got family in Pt. Pleasant, and Wall Township. And back when I was in HS(a long time ago), I had Syrian Jewish friends that had homes in Deal.

I've always preferred the Jersey Shore to the Florida beaches.

I spent a few summers in my youth (88-90) selling t-shirts on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ - 30 miles south of Atlantic City. It was (and probably still is) douchebag central, complete with the hot chicks, but I have many fond memories of that time and the crazy things you do when you're 18 and away from home

BTW, after handling a CF tie, I really don't know what the hubbub was all about. Construction was relatively mediocre. Silk was mediocre. Designs were atrocious. This guy is probably using the same vendor so I'll feel the same way about these ties, except that some are not atrocious.


I really liked the wool and cashmere ones. Have not seen many like them. Have a CF shirt. Very decent value on sale.

Strangely, I could say exactly the same thing about Stuttgart during my 19th summer. God, I really should go back.

Since there seems to be a lot of confusion on here I thought I would clear a few things up.

1. I have no affiliation to Carlo Franco
2. It is possible we have used the same mill in Como for the silk but its highly unlikely.
3. We do not use the same vendor for construction as I have an independent individual make all of the neckties.

I hope this clears up a few of the questions here but if not feel free to email me any other questions you might have.

Not sure how I missed this thread but I can assure you Napoli Coast has no affiliation or relationship with Carlo Franco. Despos & Soph can vouch for the fact that I am independent.
