Would you wear it? The Brooks Brothers Single Stripe Knit Tie

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.

The construction and brand almost guarantees it’ll tie one hell of a knot.  And it’ll lay just so, and it’ll feel great, and all those extra good things that come with a tie that’s been made extremely well.  But those stripes…

Unless you’re the type who has a more bold than most personal style, it might look a little costumey.

Italian silk, made in the USA.

So would you wear it?  Or would you rather stick with a more traditional stripe like the block stripe Italian silk knit from L.E.C. seen below.  Currently on sale for just $14.99, and the purple adds just enough character:
