On January 16, 2015 at 1:23 PM After a Brief Hiatus, The Tie Returns By John Jannuzzi "We've noticed the absence of ties over the past few seasons. Designers have opted to style runway shows with turtlenecks, open shirts, or scarves. While celebrities (and GQ) have embraced the air tie. That's all well and good of course, but a dispatch from creative director Jim Moore at Pitti Uomo says the tides are changing: "We're seeing that the tie is back, which is a huge thing. The tie business is alive and kicking at Pitti Uomo. The retailers were talking about..

First it was a Tie Accessory. It provided your Tie with the control it needed to remain in place, out of the wind, out of your beverage and always looking sharp. And it saved you hundreds of dollars otherwise spent on ruined ties via death through Scotch or Tie Pins. And so the Tie Thing was/is purchased through Menswear Shops with Bespoke character, through large Men's Clothier Retail Chains and hundreds of Websites catering to Distinguished Gentlemen. Then it became fashionable. It provided the opportunity to add that "shock" of color personalizing your day's apparel with colors to match your..

...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..

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?

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..
