This and That About Neckties

Anyone will tell you that I love novelty ties and that I’m a sucker to gimmicks. So when I checked out the website UncommonGoods.com the other day, I was intrigued with these Napkin Ties on sale for $19.99 down from $40 dollars.

The shtick is ‘No Napkin? No Problem’. A design which doubles up as a napkin, these blue & white and red & white neckties are made to look like tablecloth prints, ideal for picnic type settings. When you are done wiping your fingers with your tie, simply pop the preshrunk cotton neckwear into the washer.

I don’t know about you, but these napkin ties just don’t work for me. They are essentially nothing more than bibs, and not very good ones since by design they don’t cover a very large area. What do you think?
