Neckties at the convention.

[Tom-K]

I wear ties quite often and own quite a few. I use the four in hand knot mostly. Also, I've recently taken to buying ties from various museums. They have have reasonable pricing and interesting selections.

I just got this at the Getty Museum:

and these at the Met in NYC:

My dad taught me a full Windsor (I was wearing ties at 16 as a Kinney shoe salesman) but by early 20s I was tying a four-in-hand and never looked back. I couldn’t even tie a Windsor today without some internet guide.

Very rarely wear a tie these days, only for wedding/funeral/graduation events; but (@Tom-K) I'd buy that last orange tie with the ovals just because.

[AndyD]

A lifetime of ties, nearly all silk, because it knots neatly. Some jokes from my kids, my favourite gold with red teardrops Hugo Boss@Harrods, soon to be worn at a daughters wedding

ANDY! Great collection! As a fellow "man of wealth and taste" (a Rolling Stones reference-not to be taken literally,) I am in awe of your ties. Brilliant! (as you Britishers might say.) You and I are of a kindred spirit. I enlarged your ties and am looking them over. Wonderful. Great, great post. Thank you. I'll get my collection together and post in a bit. (For the discerning aficionados--not the unwashed, dirty necked, open collared masses that slither and lurk hereabouts!)

The teardrop is spectacular. Also the "orange tie with ovals" tie I posted is from a Gustav Klimt picture. I also have something identical in teal.

Looking forward to it.
I found storing them tricky until someone bought me a ladies scarf hanger with multiple holes. Using that they all hang out together within a suit bag.

It's really nice to occasionally dress up, go the whole 9 yards with cufflinks etc.

I’ve always had a tie hanger.

With wedding looming and unable to fit into any of my suits, I took 'The Tie' above into Hugo Boss Regent Street, told them it was bought in 1992 at Harrods... caused some interest.

Then bought an appropriate wedding-at-a-zoo-suit, which also goes with the tie

Now the question is, will I look as cool as the man himself?

[AndyD]

P.S I should add the wedding venue is in London Zoo

I rather miss suits and ties.

[jon-nyc]

I appreciate the chance to wear them 15-20 days a year.

I have a bunch of Talbot ties and Allen Edmonds shoes I’ll probably never wear again.

@Mik said in Neckties at the convention.:

Those Allen Edmonds shoes appear really nice.
I have a couple pairs of similar quality uk-handmade Church's. Both brogues, one light tan the other dark brown suede.
Ten years and they're just about worn in
This year they came out of the wardrobe and are by the front door to wear when I feel like it. Life's too short.
