I have a pile of Hermes and Ferragamo ties collecting dust in my closet. Years ago, it was "cool" to wear the fine thin Italian silk jobs. And it still is. If you're 55, or live in a time warp where Don Johnson is still the most sought after actor alive.

A good tie should have some weight to it. The Ferragamos and Hermes things are nice quality fabric, but utterly useless unless you're 5'5. For a person of my height, who wears a tie just past his belt line (if you wear it above, you look like a jackass), those ties simply aren't long enough. The Italians and French, they are short. Tyrwhitt are fine ties. Burberry are good. Zegna, Polo Purple label, Canali are also nice. I don't buy ties by braand. in usually just pick one up, and it it feels like it'll hold aa nice knot on a spread collar and I like the pattern, I buy it. I genrally favor stripes aand polka dots, but my wife got my into thosenew multicolor Etro types jobs, which are relly nice.

Fuck stupid little Ferragamo prints. Utterly uncreative shiite for people wanting to look like they have some blue blood sophistication.

Dude! You are SO RIGHT. Those fucker motherfucking cunt juice sucking Ferragamo fuckers. I just looked up their web site and PUNCHED THE MOTHERFUCKING SCREEN! I broke a few knuckles, but it felt good anyway, and it turns out I can type pretty good with my left hand only.
