Uni"Tie"

The days of the Metrosexual man are now over.  Who can resist the unibrow.  I know you ladies can't.  This is the new beginning, a new era where unrestrained facial hair will take over the masses. This 1980's series 417 tie by Van Heusen is the first small step for man and a giant leap for mankind.

Goodbye Tie

"I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave."  That was the theme of the night for the official send off for our esteemed colleague The Son of Wolf.  Where better to have a friendly send off than the classy establishment that is the glorious Nassau Bar.  It was tough saying goodbye to the beautiful bartenders and even harder to say goodbye to our good friend and this stylish 100% silk Van Heusen Tie.  Best of luck Ben.

Good Tiems for All

It is not often that a tie is worthy of this blog that is not part of my collection but this Perry Ellis Portfolio tie fits the bill.  Given as a gift to the Groomsmen of my friend's wedding, I wore it proudly underneath the shadow of the Empire State Building.  Little did I know but soon I would also be wearing that martini...oops  Congrats Mike and Katie!

Ziptie

I'm not too keen on talking about ties that are not part of my collection but this tie is definitely blog worthy.  The 8th wonder of the world, this Van Heusen tie is not a clip on, nor a regular tie.  Instead, it is tightened and loosened by pulling on a zipper hidden inside the knot.  Necktie innovation at its finest.

Tie The Knot

People spend months planning their weddings down to the most minute detail.  On this lucky groom's day, one of those small details was overlooked.  After an hour and a half of watching instructional videos on YouTube of how to tie a bowtie and a failed attempt by one of the most respected tie bloggers around, the Best Man was forced to think outside the box.  A quick trip down to the bustling streets of New York yielded the hero of the day.  A sales clerk from a men's suit store a few blocks away agreed to come to the wedding and 2 minutes later we were in business.

Happy New Year!!

What better way to celebrate Rosh Hashanah than having a good old processed fish eating contest while grossing out your co-workers at lunch?  It was a dead heat between me finishing off the gelatinous goodness of the canned Gefilte Fish and my co-worker slurping down a can of protein-packed, smoked kippers.  In the end, I won the TIE breaker by sporting a blue and white starred Van Heusen 100% silk necktie.
