today in transmasc learning about manhood as it becomes more and more relevant…
ties are expensive! this is ridiculous it's a tiny step of fabric! I ordered a few for cheap from SHEIN, but I figured I'd turn to fedi as well for help from #DirectGiving #HelpFolksLive #HelpFolksLive2025 #MutualAid¹ #MutualAidRequest and the #Jewish and #Transgender and broader communities.
do you have a tie that you don't like or just feel is extra, and that you'd like to find a good home for? please consider giving it to me. as I'm revamping my #MensClothing wardrobe although ties are strictly for formal situations where they're required, I'd like to have a nice set of choices to choose from.
so folks have an idea of what I'm typically wearing when I'd wear a tie, I bought six mostly lightweight poplin shirts to wear. I have a tan, light grey, and grey sweater vests, I have a burgundy sweater to be obnoxiously matching with the maroon chinos because I can be.
I have become That Guy who wears chinos and similar all the time because theyre comfortably and the only things that fit me well. I have one pair of dark khaki/brown and middle grey from Target's Goodfellow's brand, one dark gray pair of Dockers, and one maroon pair from Amazon Basics. I like the Dockers and Amazon Basics more, surprisingly enough, so I'll be getting more of those and when I have enough, retiring and passing on the other pairs probably to a recovery house my dad knows that always needs more clothing.
so yes. please reply to me if you have a used tie to pass on, and I'll give my address as long as you're not a skeevy TBS person.
