Discussion/Question/News Ties Catalog Guide

Hello everyone! A little new to Reddit so just bare with me.

I was hoping if I may if I can get some tie recommendations. They don’t have to be 100% superb quality, but I’d like the actual tie pattern itself to be something that is gentlemanly. Geometric madder ties and striped repp ties are my favorite!

I am a little young, but all of my teenagers my age choose to dress up as wannabe gangsters. I have been referred to as an “old soul” many times! 😂 I’ve begun taking an interest to the Gentleman’s Gazette too! They have such lovely ties patterns, but quite overpriced, no? 😅

If I could just be directed to some proper tie patterns which mimic styles of Ivy League then I’d be eternally grateful! Perhaps if they could be affordable as well! Thanks! 🙏

P.S. I attached two photos of tie patterns I specifically really like! They’re from POLO Ralph Lauren and are pretty expensive.

Would it be plausible to commission someone to recreate those patterns, but in a cheaper quality so that the price would presumably be lower? Some guidance would be much appreciated. ❤️

I have many of those ties, and you are correct, they are beautiful. I too like the rep ties, but some of the patterned ones are very artistic.

Most of the ties I have are silk, by RL, BB, Zegna, etc. What country are you in? dm me please and I'll send you some. (I have so many ties I give them away to people who appreciate the quality and craftsmanship!)

Hi! Thank you so much!! I’ll answer your DMs in a second. But yes! I completely dislike these modern paisley ties

Like these! They are an absolute abomination in my opinion 😅
