Re: new tie
Wow. I can't beleive how far off I was. Geez. I feel like going and buying a bunch of ties now. They'll be like half off! I was thinking about this just now and remembered something. Evan and I went to Nordstrom a couple days before he flew back to NYC to do some shopping and I was gonna buy him a pair of jeans. So while he was trying on jeans I was looking around and found a track jacket I liked. So we go to get rung up by our salesperson and for some reason I was paying in cash that day (I pretty much never do at stores) and I pulled out five bills, four on the counter for her and I kept one 'cause I thought it might be close. The total was under $200.
I think I should start checking prices on things I buy from now on, at least for a while. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] "I mean it's one banana, Michael. How much could it cost, ten dollars?" GoT |

Re: new tie
OK, on a serious note.
Do you buy ties based purely on price or appearance? Do you know how to judge the quality/workmanship of a tie? I ask purely out of curiosity. I'm retired now, but in my corporate life I was a clothes horse. My dad worked in a fine men's store and I learned about men's clothes from him. |

Re: new tie
no you were right, a decent tie is 120-300, a piece of [censored] is like 60. sales are the key tho, you can get great [censored] for like 50% off and that makes it afforadable.
but yeah nice things cost money ties are no exception. dave |

Re: new tie
this wasnt 150, but there are some very cool looking ties that are.
but i've found some really good ties for like 8 bucks at places before too. discount department stores often have a an awesome deal or two, not to mention thrift stores every so often have a gem in there. |

Re: new tie
i guess i couldnt tell you about quality, but i buy ties solely by how they look only because comfort doesnt really come into play. unless its made of razor wire or something.
