Has anyone had a tie off them? Price of Drakes for MTO has got a bit OTT so thought I'd give them a go.
Yes I've had quite a few & I've been very pleased with them. I've also met the couple who run the business & make the ties along with an additional member of staff or two - they nice people.
The workmanship is as good as you'll find I think.

Thanks for that Russell. I'll order one tonight.
Ties are hard because theyre such personal items but theyre also artifacts of culture, style and location as well. We've lost something in this global iGent idea that anyone can buy a tie from anywhere and it's going to work with anything. That's why I like dthe British look, the culture had developed a symbiotic relationship among all the makers and it meant a given tie would work with a different shirt. Now, it seems like everyone is wearing a Giant vibrator sink approach.
I don't about that but I know I wanted a solid chocolate brown tie, in wool, to go with a new green and brown dogtooth coat. At least 163 long. And I knew I wasn't paying £170 plus post plus customs again.
Shipped, can't fault the time scale from order to make to shipping.
Picked the tie up today. Very nice, packaging was quite ok. Priced at $40 Singapore so nasty import charges. Will deffo look to use again.
