Bright Red Skinny Tie with Black Motif

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

tie 172tie 173

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.

Jordache, why do I love you so? Because EVERY tie you have made is AMAZING!

Skinny (well, almost): 5,6 cm. Still, totally cool.

One of my favorite square ends. I wear this a lot.

Wonderfully skinny: 4 cm. Yeay!

Comments

Ernst Brown Square End Tie

tie 204tie 205

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.

J Todd Turquoise Skinny Tie

tie 152tie 153

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

tie 193tie 194

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

tie 154tie 155tie 156

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

tie 118tie 119

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.

Comments

Gentry Skinny Tie

tie 144tie 145tie 146

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.

Comments

Abbey Silver Skinny Tie

tie 176tie 177

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?
