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.      

4 Seconds of Fame

I usually try to be funny and take interesting photos for my blog posts but that is all ending today.  Now that I am famous and on TV, I can do whatever I want.  I'm not even wearing a tie today.  But if I was, it would  perfectly match my plum colored Polo shirt.  The paparazzi is probably going to follow me home tonight.

Rico Suave

This average Joe was transformed before your eyes into a lady killer as soon as he wrapped this Series 417 tie by Van Heusen around his neck.  With one wink of an eye, hoards of women flocked to him to the point where he needed to fight them off with a water hose.

Space Trash?

Surrounded by the destroyed aluminum hulk of a fallen satellite, this star patterned, 100% silk tie by Van Heusen hasn't been seen on Earth since the days of Sputnik.  Good thing for the NASA budget cuts because I kinda like this tie, and it looks like it won't going back into orbit anytime soon.

Working Like a Dog

Say goodbye to the dog days of summer and hello to cooler weather.  Nobody looks cooler than our new puppy office mascot sporting a Series 417 by Van Heusen tie covered in stylish amorphous blobs.

Shoo Tie

Having issues keeping the public out of your construction site? Are a fence and caution signs just not doing the job?  All you need to do is display this hideous blue and yellow, tie dye patterned, Geoffrey Beene tie and onlookers will surely be scared away.  Maybe I should stop wearing it on first dates....

Hoo"Tie" and the Blowfish

The last time that this Owl Eye patterned tie by Ashberry was stylish, Hootie was breaking hearts and holding hands on top of the Billboard charts.  Now it just looks creepy.

Weekend "Work"

The job is never done for an avid Tie Blogger like myself.  I usually try to take the weekends off to recover from the stresses of publishing one of the most respected blogs in the Tie community.  However, this serpent skin themed, Series 417 tie by Van Heusen camouflaged by blue, yellow and grey scales slithered its way around the neck of one of our newest TieOneOff models. Unseen since the 80's, this rare tie is quite the lady killer.

Wandering Tie

What is the first thing you notice when you look at this photo?  I know what you are thinking...The beautiful, voluptuous and sexy Series 417 by Van Heusen tie made from 100% silk.  At least that's the first thing I noticed.  For all of the die hard tie fans out there, you can see this "tie" in person on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at the Iron Horse Bar.

Never Enough "Tie"m

My apologies for slacking on the daily blog posts these past few weeks.  In an effort to get back up to date I have summarized the unlucky ties who were not fortunate enough to get their own post.  Though many of them are pretty horrible (especially the Jukebox tie) they will never see the glory of their other tie brethren. 

Ties for a Good Cause

While most celebrities use their fame to get free meals at fancy restaurants and access to the most exclusive night clubs, I instead use it for a good cause.  Today, Tie One Off is teaming up with the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to raise money for their Give Thanks Walk which will take place on November 17th in Poughkeepsie, NY.  Not only to they save kids lives, they make sweet ties.  

Hybrid

A few years ago people said that Hybrid cars were just a fad.  Today, they are some of the most popular vehicles on the road.  I  foresee this 100% silk tie by Van Heusen with a bowtie pattern becoming the next hybrid phenomenon.  Part conventional tie, part bow tie, wearers are able to look smart for any occasion. Not really...

Par"tie" on Wayne

Leave it to our friendly neighbors to the North to show us a good time.  This Canadian themed tie was sported by a lovely young lady while mounting our stuffed pig mascot.  We kept explaining that people ride horses at the rodeo, not pigs, but that small fact didn't seem to sink in.
