Oh my God I've seen the light! I've just set fire to my entire vintage foulards collection. Now to upload the videos to Youtube.

Re: How trad are Hermes ties? Euro-trad?
I haven't worn ties for work in a quite a while but I did a brief stint in investment banking in Houston (energy E&P banking), and Hermes ties were part of the uniform in our office. It was mainly the whimsical patterns like repeating animals or other objects that were popular. Of course I bought a couple at $100+ a pop and ended up selling them on eBay when I went to graduate school a few years ago.

Re: How trad are Hermes ties? Euro-trad?
Lets bring the thread back to topic. There is a certain Euro tradness.
Good old Compton has had an article on it:

Re: How trad are Hermes ties? Euro-trad?
From the article: 'Suffice it to say that there is a correlation between lawyers generally being dull, introverted people, and a compulsion to display childish animals. I will also mention in passing that some accuse these lawyers of wearing their entire personality around their neck.'
Are novelty ties Ivy I ask? I've got a couple, one of which has little sharks on it, but generally I'm not keen. I don't even wear repp stripes as much as I used to, I'm gravitating toward low key foulards and small floral motifs more these days.
