#neckties — Public Fediverse posts

I stopped at TJ Maxx after my interview, and managed a nice score. An endcap in the dude department had a nice assortment of 3” neckties. The last time I was there, they had… one necktie, and it did not come home with me.

The style rule is the necktie should be no wider than the lapel on your jacket, so these new nooses will work well with the black sport coat I got in March.

Two from Tommy Hilfiger, and one each from Michael Kors, Bill Blass, Isaac Mizrahi and DKNY. Each sub-$10. Good additions to my other 3” tie options at home (still haven’t worn the Jerry Garcias, one of which is 3.25”), and of course, my 3.5s, skinny ties and “other” from times of yore.

But here's a sneak peak at the 3 small quilt tops I finished last week. As a reminder, these are made from some of the silk neckties I'll be using.

And here is the final prototype, completed and quilted today. Many lessons learned from each prototype, and many notes for improving the final products for the project.

The necktie is such a weird and ARBITRARY designation of being "dressed up." I am sure there's a history out there of where it came from, and someday I might go down that rabbit hole, but it needs to change.

For example, anything that fits around my neck like that makes me gag. For me wearing a tie is torture.

I used to follow a guy who always showed what tie he was wearing every day, and what knot he used to tie it. Not sure if he's still out there, but maybe he'll see this.

"Where did I put that peek-a-boo tie?" is not something I say to myself every day. Found this vintage tie at resale for $1. Did a bit of research and I guess it's called a peek-a-boo tie. Sort of liberty cuffs but for 70s era man childs I suppose. Probably something you wore to a Shriner's convention and then showed the fellas. You peel back the bottom inverse and "she" shows more. Anyway, there are people that seem to collect these so I put it up on eBay. Have a bidder.

Neckties are banned in Iran where the government of the Islamic Republic considers neckties to be "decadent, un-Islamic" and viewed as "symbols of the Cross" and the oppressive West." A three piece suit is fine, just not the tie.
