Re: It's like netflix for neckwear

Aside from the fact that silk holds onto viruses and germs for a long time (assuming these ties are silk), the concept of neck tie is personal expression and social status. This communal thrift is antithetical to the very purpose of a tie, which is no purpose at all except for decoration, male potency and taste/class. You might as well go to a steak restaurant and order a hoof.

^ Think you got it wrong FNB. If you check the link it is a cut price operation selling new ties - not used ones.

So germ free, regardless of the quality of the tie which may be all boring stripey items - but that is a separate issue.

I'm trying to help you, I'm trying to help you to have standards. I'm trying to make you know that the world isn't pleased to see you. You're ugly and superfluous and ignorant and you should be frightened and meek and grateful.

Re: It's like netflix for neckwear

I imagine there is a market for this. A small one, to be sure, but a market nonetheless. I remember a post a few years ago from a guy whose brother rented shoes for a wedding.  Not formal shoes or patent leather things---he was just attending the wedding--but he had no leather shoes, didn't want to buy any, and rented them for the day.

I'm thinking as a gesture of thanks and appreciation for the site  we should take up a collection here through paypal and buy good ole FNB a subscription to the tie hire service.
