Brooks Brothers #1 Stripe Slim Knit Tie – $79.50

At $80, you’re best to wait for a sale.  But what about that Mad Men-esque blocky set of stripes situated at the dead center of the tie?  Those don’t continue all the way down.  It’s that mid century retro look of a collection of stripes, and then they stop.
