The Slim Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece Repp Tie

Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece Repp Tie – $45.00 (reg. $75)

For neckties, this is about as “crazy” as a lot of us like to get.  And although it seems like we’re on the down-slope of the prep fad, the Golden Fleece logos are subtle.  Meaning the tie won’t feel like a dated trend when dressing like an Ivy Leaguer goes completely out of vogue.

It’s not a tie you’d want to wear to a job interview, an important business lunch, or God forbid a funeral (especially not a funeral.)  It’s kinda casual and fun, but still suit ready.  A few clicks up from a knit.  Light years apart from a tie with a fish on it.

2 7/8″ in width might not seem slim at first, and $45 might not seem all that affordable for a tie either.  But it’s Brooks Brothers, and they’ve been making traditional cut spendy stuff since The Monroe Administration.

It’s substantial but not fat, different but not ridiculous, and a bit of a splurge but not a check book wrecker.  Silk woven in England, tie made in the good ol’ USA.

Don’t want to look too preppy?  Get one with a tonal logo like the orange or green.  Also available in red & purple:

    I would wear it. Looks like a great casual tie. Perfect for an button-down oxford. I have some basics to get before I would spend $45 on something like this, but I would like to have one in my closet.

    I really like these but there is one big problem….I work am a funeral director and would be wearing the tie to funerals. Perhaps you could do an article on how to be dappered at a funeral.
