Close to perfect ties – Nautica’s Heritage Collection

Nautica Heritage Collection Ties  $23.00 – $55.00

The “suggested retail” price is pretty steep (read, perpetually inflated since it’s Macy’s) but you can almost always find these for at least 40% off.  That drops them to $33 without any coupons or anything.  Here’s what they have going for them:

• They’re a perfect  3″ wide
• The patterns are classic but not stuffy
• The colors are toned down and the stripes are uniform and defined
• Some of them have a real nice texture to them.

The 40% off $33 price point is perfect for Macy’s card holders since you likely get a few coupon cards each month.  One of which is often a $10 off $30 purchase.  That drops the price to a very friendly $23.00.

The makeup on the textured bar stripe ties is a disappointing 57% poly / 35% viscose / 8% wool, but they look much better than you’d think, and definitely have that wool matte look with a slightly rough feel to them.

Ties a real nice knot too.  Keep an eye out in store since they don’t appear to be available online just yet.
