Clip on ties. They’re not for everyone, but some people prefer them for specific reasons: they may not be adept at tying a tie or they might need them for certain lines of work where wearing a traditional necktie can prove dangerous. Police officers, security guards and people working near moving machinery prefer them or [...]
Fall is here. What better way to usher in the season than with neckties rich in earthy colors such as red, orange, gold, and brown. Seasonal themes are also a good choice such as floral neckwear featuring leaves. What about bountiful fall fruits and veggies such as corn? Corn?! Yes, corn! This unique tie is [...]
An acronym is a word formed from the first letters of a series of words which is then used as an abbreviation to refer to that series of words. Acronyms are used to conserve time and space. For example, NYSE is the acronym for the New York Stock Exchange.
More amusingly, this red tie features not [...]
It’s football season! And what better way to share your love of the game than with this Mickey Mouse running back. The design is actually quite creative. All the white horizontal stripes double up as yard lines, and Mickey is seen passing the 50, 40, 30, 20 and finally the 10 yard line as he [...]

If you’re going to do the Halloween thing, you might as well do it with style. And this tie has got style! I guarantee that anyone who wears this tie will generate smiles and chuckles from anyone they encounter during the normal course of the day – and night! It really is a feel good [...]
So I thought I’d follow up the widest tie with the thinnest one I’ve ever come across, and I don’t think they get skinnier than this! Skinny neckwear reigned during the 50’s and 60’s but only got ultra skinny in the early 60’s. In fact, I once came across another 1 inch necktie whose manufacturer [...]
Talk about one groovy tie! This one has all the markings of a mid 60’s tie, both in width and design. At 6 inches from corner to corner, it is the widest tie I’ve encountered, not counting gargantuan gag gift ties and colossal clown ties you find in costume shops. The stylized flowers come in [...]
Ah, the color red! The color of love, passion and desire! Solid red ties are among my favorites. There are so many shades, and this deep rich red is really appealing. Besides the color, this 1980’s era tie holds a secret: a photo of a nude woman is printed on the lining just behind the [...]
I’m really partial to neckties which combine familiar patterns with cartoon characters. I’ve seen a black and white Looney Tunes where Bugs Bunny, Taz and Sylvester the Cat are hiding behind the polka dots and red plaid tie with them doing the same. This burgundy red and navy blue paisley tie features Winnie the Pooh, [...]
