Blue Splattered Paint Tie
12-February-2012 Filed in: Ties
Wow. Wow! WOW!
I think this is my number one favorite. Isn’t it just AMAZING?
How can anyone make such an awesome tie and not put a label on it? Unbelievable.
Every time I wear this (and I have to really struggle not to wear it EVERY TIME I go out), I get a lot of comments and compliments. Of course.
Not very skinny, but that’s ok: 6,5 cm.

Are these cool or what?? My all time favorite cuffs.
I wear these EVERY time I go to my favorite bar: The Aku Aku Tiki Bar, which happen to be just 30 meters from my building. How convenient.

A very nice skinny tie with great colors.
Diagonal stripes are of course very conventional, but this is kind of interesting.

Nice’n’skinny: 4,5 cm.
Mancunian Teddy Bear With Broken Arm Tie
12-February-2012 Filed in: Ties
What a find! This is one of my absolute favorites.
Terrific motif: A teddy bear with a broken arm in a sling, greeting you - or is he calling out for help or sympathy?
Eighties or nineties?
I wear this one all the time, even though it is rather wide: 7,6 cm.

Revl Ultra Skinny Red White and Blue Tie
11-February-2012 Filed in: Ties
Wear In Good Health - how cool is that?! I love this tie for that label alone.
But even without the label, it’s a great ultra skinny tie. I’m guessing it’s from the eighties.
Perfect for wearing on the Norwegian independence day: May 17th.
Ultra skinny: 4,5 cm.
Christian Dior Turquoise Op-Art Tie

Christian Dior, baby!
A bit wide, but I forgive it - and Christian Dior. 7 cm.

Stringbeans Graphic Floral Tie

I love this. To me it looks like a sixties tie, but the label looks more like it’s from the eighties.
Anyways. Wonderful tie.
A bit on the wide side: 6,4 cm.

Mr John Black and Green Silk Tie

One of my most elegant, classy and cool ties. I can really imagine a fifties mobster wearing this. Or Frank Sinatra. (Is there really a difference?)
Love the label!
From Amberg’s, Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Narrow: 5,9 cm.

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.

Unknown Brand Golden Paisley Tie

When you make such a terrific tie, why don’t you put your label on it? I would be so proud of designing this!
The golden copper pattern is kind of shiny, almost metallic. Sweet!
Narrow: 6,2 cm.

J Todd Turquoise Skinny Tie

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.
Hengerer's Ultra Skinny Striped Tie
24-August-2011 Filed in: Ties
Ultra Skinny! Now we’re talking. This is what I like.
They are rare finds, these ultra skinny ones. This one get a lot of neck-time.
Made by an unknown brand for Hengerer’s department store in Buffalo. They closed over 20 years ago.
Ultra skinny 3,7 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 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.
