Holliday & Brown, Beretta, Zegna

I love the H&B but I never wear because it's 4"+. I need to send it to Tiecrafters and have it narrowed.

Breuer, RL Polo, Gieves & Hawkes (1991)
I purchased the G&H when I did a summer study in England in college. It's really more of a souvenir of the trip. I don't remember the last time I wore it.

I generally like DFigs a lot - well made ties from good quality silk.


I agree. I sold a bunch but now I really need to get some for myself.

Where do you usually get them from? It's hard to find a good selection at most places that carry them.

The only ones that I found were by sheer fluke, more than anything else.

Yes, I usually find them at Nordstrom or Saks, but all the good ones seem to cost a pretty penny.

So far, I've really liked Chorse's and three of AlanC: Holliday & Brown, Beretta, and second Polo. I prefer the larger paisleys. The four I own:

Have never worn the first, but it was $2 at a thrift store, brand new R Talbott. Actually, I got the first three from thrift stores.
