Popular Post DrH Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Hello, I am looking for classic silk neckties with a width of 9cm. Unfortunately, the vast majority of ties for sale in Bangkok are narrower. I have been to department stores of all major malls in the downtown (Siam Paragon, Central World, etc.) and the ties there are no good. I got a decent tie from Jim Thompson recently - it is wide enough at the bottom but it narrows up more than I would prefer so it's not perfect. Any recommendations in Bangkok? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling self a tailor is a stretch. I haven't had anything made in over 20 years. Just shirts, and they still wear good. Abet fading a bit. Now the wife makes everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, the only time I wear shoes and socks is when I play golf. ⛳ What's wrong with wearing a tie? A couple of my ties are getting a bit shabby so I'm following this thread with interest. The links so far have been too expensive for me though. I normally spend about 30-35GBP per tie from TM Lewin or Hawes and Curtis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't worn a tie for around 15 years. Other than a cravat the tie is the most useless item of menswear ever invented. It is useful in an emergency as a sling or a tourniquet, or perhaps as a belt. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Monday visit to the office it was down to the car, throw the tie in the back and clear off out to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
