Bright Red Skinny Tie with Black Motif
11-February-2012 Filed in: Ties
This one’s REALLY red. Because of the bright color it doesn’t get much wear, even though I really like the black swirly motif as well as the leather like fabric.
No label.

Unknown Brand Grey Op Art Fifties Skinny Tie
04-February-2012 Filed in: Ties
Grey ties are a bit dull. So is this, even though the fabric is really nice and shiny, and the op-art styling is kind of interesting.
Silk or synthetic? Sometimes it’s really hard to tell...
Skinny. 5 cm.

I don’t use pink ties very much, but this one is kind of cool with its organic, eighties pattern.

Howard's Silk Skinny Tie

A very elegant silk tie from Howard's on Kinsman at Lee, Shaker Heights.
Love the animal motif.
A bit on the formal side, so I don't use it very much.
Skinny: 5 cm.
Jordache Paisley Tie

Jordache, why do I love you so? Because EVERY tie you have made is AMAZING!
I buy every Jordache tie I can find. Unfortunately, they are quite rare, so I only have a few yet, but they are all in my absolute favorites collection.
Skinny (well, almost): 5,6 cm. Still, totally cool.

Ernst Brown Square End Tie
10-September-2011 Filed in: Ties
Another simple but nice square end. Just wish it was a few millimeters narrower. Square ends should be really skinny.
Still, skinny enough: 4,9 mm.
Unknown Brand Square End Tie

I’m a big fan of skinny square end ties. This is not my favorite, but it’s not bad.

J Todd Turquoise Skinny Tie
10-September-2011 Filed in: Ties
My baby. This tie is so incredibly cool, it’s almost too much: Wearing this makes me convinced all the other guys are dorks. There is just no competition.
The artificial lizard like pattern, the shiny turquoise color, the perfect width. Everything about this tie is amazing.
Skinny: 4,7 cm

Handloom Silk Stripe Tie
25-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
This one is so rad! Why? Striped ties are nothing special?
Hard to say why, actually. But I think it’s the combination of the colors, the raw silk, and the perfect skinny width.
Anyways, I dig this. Plus, at the time of writing, this is my only tie from India.
Skinny: 5,2 cm.
Jordache Teal/Black Skinny Tie
24-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
Jordache, baby!
This was my first Jordache. And boy, have they become my favorite brand.
Totally eighties. I doubt there were any cooler designers during the eighties than Jordache.
Skinny: 4,7 cm. Perfect!
Unknown Brand Deep Blue Diamond Tie
24-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
This one I really like. I have ben using it a lot.
The deep blue color. The elongated diamond shaped pattern. It’s just really cool.
And very close to being a true skinny tie. (My criteria: 5 cm wide or less.)
This is 5,2 cm wide, but the long narrow diamond shape makes it appear narrower.
Too bad there is no label on it.
Gentry Skinny Tie
23-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
I LOVE this tie!
The color. The centered geometric weave. Everything about this tie is perfect.
One of my absolute favorites.
And it is skinny, just like I like it: 4,8 cm wide.
Abbey Silver Skinny Tie
23-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
The silvery grey color is a bit dull, but I like the texture in the weave.
I’m guessing it’s from the fifties.
Abbey Cravate - does this mean it’s from Canada?
Skinny: 5 cm wide.

Abbey Shiny Red Skinny Tie
23-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
I love this! Beautiful, deep, shiny red. Very nice motif. Very fifties rock’n’roll.
And it’s skinny! 5 cm wide.
Wearing this makes me feel like the coolest cat on the block.

A well designed tie. But a bit too formal and conservative for my taste. Nice condition.
Skinny: 5 cm wide.
