Tie of the Day

Nice ties today, guys. I've gone with a vintage Burberry's yellow with red and blue paisley, which actually was included with this jacket when I bought it on Ebay. The jacket is a vintage Burberry's cashmere tweed and it's really comfortable and soft. It's a shame to hide most of the tie behind a sweater vest, but it's -16C with the wind chill today, so I'm going for warmth over style in this case.
Looking good, guys!
Jack - I really like the "draper strip"
Thanks. They have a whole bunch of different colour combinations in that stripe, which I do enjoy. I have been on a bit of a stripe kick lately, as I seem to be acquiring striped ties at an alarming rate. I'll have to throw in a couple of solids, geometrics or paisleys for my next order from the Tie Bar

Oddly enough, I've not been much into stripes of late. Much more into dots and small, dot-like repeating patterns.
That said, I wore a very nice striped tie yesterday, so ... just goes to show.
Snap a photo and post it up Doc
Get a twofer today - my son and I
I like 'em both.
You should be very proud of your son. Two fine neck pieces there.
Thanks, I am very proud of him - he picked the tie himself says mine are too wide. Unfortunately, I think he will wind up like me and have a largerish neck - he is 14, almost 15 and has a 16 1/2" neck.
Today's tie brought to you by Daniel Gray.
Good one today, Russ. I like the combination with the sweater.
Your boy has a bigger neck than me, wow. I'm hovering around a 15 right now and my 15.5 shirts are a bit loose. That said, I'm not complaining, because there is also a corresponding reduction around the waist/belly area (I've dropped 15lb in the past couple of months). I look forward to having some pants taken in! I also just took advantage of a nice one-day sale at The Bay to pick up five new shirts. They are size 15 34/35 Calvin Klein cotton dress shirts and were on a one-day sale for $19.99 down from $70. They make for great everyday shirts. I just hope my neck doesn't continue to shrink, as I haven't found many mid-priced brands with 14.5/34 that I've been able to find. I suppose I could use that as an excuse with SWMBO to shop at Harry Rosen, but I doubt she'd go for it.
Anyway, today it's Tie Bar, again.

Thank you - Yes, he is in good shape 5'9" 150 lbs and the large neck, he trains with me in martial arts and jui jitsu, plus he wrestled in middle school. I have a hard time with shirts that aren't fitted I have to try and get them tailored - I have a 18" neck and go about 205 - apparently my waist should be like a 46 because every shirt looks like a tent on me - I am a 34/36 waist depending on the manufacture.
I still can't pull off a bow tie, I think I look awful - good for you that you can.
Old school!
Today a bright green tie - blue shirt, quiet a contrast I think. the colors seem off, but I guess you can't expect perfection from a cell phone. My neck is a little angry from the too aggressive shave - first time using an adjustable (birth year and quarter). I will have to back it down a little I guess.

I like the contrast, Russ. I don't have a bold blue shirt like that, but I might have to snag one. Today I'm sporting another Draper stripe from The Tie Bar (can you tell I've been hitting that site a lot lately?). This time, it's "navy, emerald and silver".
I like it Jack, the whole look is nice - especially the pocket square. I am starting a vacation - I maybe have one more tie day this year, then I am off to the PNW and I won't be bringing any ties along - will start again around January 6th. I will be checking the thread daily so keep the thread alive
Thanks, Russ. I'm on vacation as of today, but I'll probably still wear a tie a few times over the holidays, at dinners, events and parties. Partly because I enjoy it and partly to look sharp
I hope you have a good vacation.
Today I'm wearing a grey skinny wool, also Tie Bar. I don't often wear black, but a black sweater vest and jeans go along with this, while I'll probably throw on a black corduroy sports jacket before I head out to brave the holiday shopping crowds. Sombre colours for a sombre activity
. I need to touch up the 'stache, judging by this photo.
