Very nice!
Wear it in good health.
Great roll on the white BD too.

Re: Trad neckties
A fine old thread from seven years ago.
We don't use the term Trad anymore online unless we're a bit daffy. But there certainly are ties which have The Look: That old 'Ivy League' style look.
Is there an ultimate tie for The Look ?
I'm addicted to knits, but there are many, many other options.
What do you reckon ?

I am a Rooster fan...they seem very "boom" to me rather than conservative go-to elements, but I am no expert.

Re: Trad neckties
I've just bought, with the avowed intention of sprucing/poncing myself up a bit, in the hope some wretched female might glance in my direction, a Brooks Brothers Makers tie.
I should have known better. Revisiting this thread makes me understand why. The bugger is too wide.
Thank heaven I still have one, from 'Milton's Clothing Cupboard', that will do the Trad Trick.
I've always liked the sound of Milton. Played to the hilt by Martin Balsam.
Oh, why did I do it?

Horace's wry observation on the Press salesman is worth reading.

Re: Trad neckties
I can’t remember what I wrote on that.
Hope i wasn’t too rough on the old chum.
There was a time for a while when Press quality took a dive in quality and thus in value. At least on a few things. Like some of those padded shoulders on tweed jackets. But that was a while ago.
But I’d say it’s made a come back.
