...And it Never Was! The Tie Thing is as much a part of any man's closet as the laces in his shoes. No laces, lose your shoes. No Tie Thing, risk losing your Tie to your Bisque, or your Dignity to a Tie with an Attitude...surrendering itself to the wind or gravity should you move left or right, bend over to Tie a shoelace {remember those Laces?} or simply reach out to lend a helping hand to assist her out of the Limo & instead discovers what fine Italian Silk tastes like, your Tie may as well be your Lab off-his..

It's understandable, as has been for years, there are yet more recent Tie restraints [AKA Tie Straps, Tie Holders, etc.] coming to market...and why not, it's a great idea, and it works. There have been thin clear vinyl Tie Holders, plastic-"S"-shaped white Tie Holders, and a more recent plastic newcomer similar to the previous vinyl holder. But there are no other Patented Fabric Tie Restraints other than The Tie Thing. Only the Tie Thing is made of durable Stitched Cotton Fabric that can be worn for years without damage. They easily withstand, but virtually never require, laundering never requiring replacement, especially when..

On Thursday, July 17, 2014 Kyle Langan began a contest for his audience re: an upcoming commercial for: The Tie Thing I stumbled upon this AMAZING new brand that offers a solution to one of every professional man's daily annoyances - an unruly tie. Sick of having a gust of wind send your tie smacking you in the face? I've got just the solution, gents. And it's so simple, how did anyone never think of this before?  It's very simple - which I also love, because there aren't any additional loops or trick you have to pull off after attaching it...

"Austin 24/7 TV" provides inexpensive but "Great Gifts for Grads" on their TV Show. One thing that tops the list of duties following graduation is interviews. Help yourself, or someone you know with an essential piece of Graduation "Gear." If they want the job, you'll likely want them to look neat, maybe wear a Suit & Tie!? And you're not going to want them to look great....except for the fact that their Tie is at a 45 degree angle, over their shoulder....or, just for fun, decided to take a dip in his bisque during lunch interviews.  Why risk it for $5 bucks! Get a few Tie Things and..

We all want to look sharp, some more than others. But if you wear a Tie, you're likely to be at least 1/2 way there. A Classy look can be subjective. Use a Tie Bar, don't use a Tie Bar. Vest, no vest. But unless you're in an action film and the director want's to emphasize a Tie gone aerie, at minimum, you'd prefer your Tie be vertical...and stay that way. People have used paper clips and string [really...yes really] to secure their Ties. Would they prefer a professionally designed alternative? Absolutely.  Tie....$50-$200+..., a shirt that becomes collateral damage to..

Many of our customers use Tie Accessories. And why not! They are yet another classic way to make a gentlemen look sharp and distinguished. Many are valuable & unique to the gentlemen's taste. Like cufflinks or antique pocket watches, they often hold a very personal place in our jewelry holders, often vintage themselves. They are ours, to be handed down as heirlooms for generations. These never go out of style.  And, regardless whether or not your suit is bespoke, these fine pieces should be worn properly displayed just above lapels with elegance. That said, it is all the more reason to invisibly secure your tie toward..

Thanks to all of you who have emailed us and blogged about your Tie Things! Many have offered to share your enthusiasm on our Web Site. I only wish I had saved all those emails. Value, Utility, Functionality and overall amazement at the simple yet obvious solutions for managing Men's Apparel with such a simple device as The Tie Thing has provided are most common. But the stories we get are often hilarious! "...having graduated from school, we took our son out to a very nice restaurant in his brand new suit complete with New shirt and [expensive] new tie...

If you or someone you know travels often for business, you've likely encountered the problem of opening your travel or shaving kit at the hotel, only to find it full of liquid. Airport security and baggage handlers show little regard for your personal belongings and things often get smashed in the course of your travel. If this story sounds familiar, THE TIE THING™ Tube is the perfect accessory for you or that traveling businessman in your life. It provides watertight protection that is perfect for shaving or travel kits and will store up to five TIE THING necktie restraints. It..

How much money have you invested in your ties over the years? You may have quite a collection, and chances are good that some of those ties are dear to you, much more so than others are. The ties that your family and friends gave you are ones that you want to keep looking great, but with so many of the traditional suit accessories out there, it’s just not possible. While they might keep your tie in place, they don’t always keep it looking good. The clips and the tacks, or pins, that are so common today can actually cause..
