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:
From Target clearance t-shirts, to 43% off Brooks Brothers 1818 line Italian suits.
Linen-wool sportcoats, UK made dirty buck chukkas, and longingly looking (very) forward to fall.
In person with BR's flagship suit separates.
Significant savings. While they last. Which usually isn't very long.
One of the best affordable watch releases in recent memory. Yours to win. Perhaps.
Nordstrom Rack extra 25% off clearance, Billy Reid Summer Sale, Allen Edmonds, etc.
