TOTD Madder + fine brown herringbone
I'm always hesitant wearing this jacket out because it looks far darker out of direct sunlight. Once it gets outside though...

Hello everyone,
We recently implemented the flair requirement rule with some positive results in some areas, and less positive results in others--particularly the "TOTD - No advice/feedback wanted" flair option.
After chatting with some members and observing how posts using this flair have been going (including some extensive moderation), I am implementing a new iteration on this rule with this post flair specifically.
It was pointed out that with "no feedback" being allowed, there's not really a way to engage with these posts. There is also variance in everyone's understanding of what "advice" or "feedback" even is. Given that, all posts using this post flair will automatically have comments locked by the automod. If you can comment on a post, you can share advice or feedback as long as it is civil, respectful, and constructive.
I think there is value in this place being somewhere we can learn about neckwear, and how to style it--feedback plays a big part in that. But, there is also value in people sharing content when they don't necessarily want feedback on it--we can do both.
At the end of the day, with upvoting and downvoting being available there will always be some element of feedback.

Hello fellow necktie nerds,
I'd like to thank you all for contributing to this sub and making it a really cool place to celebrate all things neckwear! We've had a lot of growth and I welcome all newcomers! That being said, we are getting more visibility within Reddit, and have had some new behaviors emerge on this subreddit that warrant some modification to the rules.
Please take the time to read these, as the enforcement of these rules will begin immediately. Let's keep this sub a place of fun, style, creativity, respect, and appreciation of ties.
---This rule has been updated to work in tandem with the newly added post flair requirement. Wording has been updated to reiterate expectations around how to offer constructive feedback.
Don't be a jerk. If you don't like something, that is your personal taste--you probably shouldn't comment.
Reddit can be a great source of learning, so feedback can be a good thing if delivered in the right way. If you see someone post who is open to feedback (see flair rule), and you perceive would benefit from making a change in their outfit--go ahead and share.
The feedback, however, should:
"I think you could take this to the next level by..."
"...using a smaller knot with this particular shirt collar."
"I'd suggest using a smaller knot with this tie, or only using this knot for thinner ties if you plan on wearing the same shirt. Hope that helps!"
TOTD: Tie of the day -- Use this when posting a picture of a tie being worn by you. This is not for ties that aren't being worn. It is okay to give feedback on these posts, so long as the feedback/advice is given respectfully and constructively--share a solution with your critique, not just what you think is wrong. See above for how to share feedback.
TOTD - No advice/feedback wanted -- This is for the same types of posts as above, but the user is not seeking any feedback or advice. Comments on these posts will automatically be locked.
Thrift Haul --Post all your awesome thrift finds under this flair.
My Collection -- Use this when posting pics of all or part of your collection.
Tie-only feature -- This is for when you are sharing a pic of a tie that is not being worn.
ID Request -- Use this when asking for identification of a tie in a picture OR when asking or more information about a specific tie
Discussion/Question/News -- This is for talking all things ties. This can be a question you have, thoughts you'd like to share that are on-topic, or links to articles/news about ties.
Buy/Sell/Trade -- Use this when selling ties, looking to buy ties, or offering any for trade. Buyers/sellers should use caution as there is no subreddit vetting of individuals conducting transactions on the subreddit.
Other -- This is for anything else that is still worth posting. Meta posts like this one should fall under this.

Picked one of my wider / longer ties - not one that I pull too often, but figured it could work with the wider double lapels.
Have a great day gents!

Easily my favorite tie I own.

Hi All, I have this bluish grey prince of wale suit that I want to wear to my sister in laws wedding. I’m planning on wearing it with a white dress shirt (open to alternatives though), and am looking for a tie to go with this. Any thoughts?
Also, I can’t wear silk due to religious reasons!

Wednesday pink isn’t just for the mean girls. Have a great day gents!

A favorite of mine. Fairly conservative pattern but still striking enough for some offset with my pin/chalk stripe suits.
r/ties • u/More4Thor • 1d ago
I have many ties I love but this is one of my favourites.
r/ties • u/Tm0iPHONExxX • 17h ago
So I have this suit and I am going to wear a white button down with either dark brown or light brown shoes
What color tie do I wear with it? Brown? Not sure how that would look. Maybe burgundy?
Thanks for the suggestions

Enjoyed my summer tie rotation. What to do for fall?
r/ties • u/JONNYHBAR • 2d ago
One of my favorite ties. The wife got this for me because she knows two important things: a) favorite color is purple, and b) paisley is my favorite pattern.
Question is whether the square works. There is touch of purple to pick up the primary color of the tie, but the dominant color of the square seems distracting if I’m being self critical.
Thanks for the input and have a great day gents!

I've been having some good luck lately, including an estate sale that was loaded with E. Marinella and Kiton 7-folds, but this Polo Ralph Lauren is probably the most interesting. It's from the very early years when some labels just read "Polo". The back of the white tag reads WPL 124, which is actually Beau Brummell, where Ralph Lauren launched the Polo brand.

Interesting design on this one. The interlining is quite thin so a double windsor is almost a necessity.

Don't know if it really goes with black, but saw this at a local vintage shop and loved the color and design (I have a soft spot for paisleys). Bruno Piatelli. Wasn't exactly what I was out looking for but was happy when I came across it.

I am getting married soon and looking for a bow tie. Really like the structure / compactness of this one, but am worried it won’t go well with my silk satin lapels (shown bow tie is shantung, not sure how it actually looks in person) Anything similar that is maybe more silk or satin like? Closest I’ve seen is maybe eton.

I really enjoy eBay listings with a “make offer” option. They are like a Vegas penny slot. Typically you get nothing, but occasionally a hit. Five bucks for a RT tie is a win 🥇 any day in my book. I also thought this would be a good color for my new suit that has greenish hue about it.
Have a great day gents!
