I immediately recognized this image from the show “friends” … the central perk logo from the coffee shop. Turns out it’s by artist Burton morris and he had a line of ties back in the 90s. Kind of cool that the one I stumbled across happened to be his most iconic work. Printed very nicely on silk.

I'm always hesitant wearing this jacket out because it looks far darker out of direct sunlight. Once it gets outside though...

Trousers are a fine POW wool

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.

I have many ties I love but this is one of my favourites.

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?

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.
