I have a couple good ones, but some people may not be able to discern their beauty.Originally Posted by iammatt
Perhaps the good ones you're referring to were made in Korea or Japan...

Is there any wonder that all politicians wear red ties as a matter of rote?Originally Posted by Manton
I'm still a serious n00b but the premise of this thread surprised me. Isn't the red tie the epitome of conservative business dress, and isn't conservative business dress what gives you a hard-on Manton? In other words, aside from maybe the notch lapel or the white shirt itself, is there anything that is less likely to break "the rules" than a red tie?
I think red looks good with navy, although it is about as cliched as they come.
I guess I still have a lot to learn ...

No, the ultimate conservative business dress tie is a print with a dark blue ground and widely spaced discreet figures in muted colors.

The flash has, as always, screwed up the colors. L-to-R is Luciano Barbera, E. Marinella and Anderson & Sheppard (Drakes):
