Alternative Ties

Stylist and photographer Sarah Conrique recently recommended that I take a look at the wardrobe of Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States. I surmise his style was of a personal nature, although it might simply be indicative of his times. In any case, his use of neckties seems modern even today.

Our online research led us to Sheplers, a purveyor of western wear since 1899. The Wichita-based business sells three uncommon neckties in a variety of colors:

Wow wow wow, this first Sheplers tie is just mindblowing! The best men's neck piece I've ever seen!

I'm with everyone else - the top left is quite lovely. I can see you donning that!

This reminds me of your previous post on the different black jackets that guys shouldn't be limited to. So, why should they be limited to how they tie their ties as well? I'm a fan of the triangular shaped necktie. It's really artsy looking0- made me do a double take.
