100 Days, 100 Ties

Here at 100D100T Inter-galactic HQ, we are in full crisis mode. I’m behind on two posts with a full week staring me in the face. I’ve been looking for a spark, in terms of ties, and I think I may have found it, thanks to some good people who provided me with an avenue to a few new (to me) ties. Stories make the ties, usually, so this will get better.

My Tie du Thursday is a vintage, narrow number from Rhodia, made from the finest 100% Acetate in the land (well, the land of France, at least). It’s red and gray, and the fabric has some great texture, which I hope shows up in the picture. I like the north star depicted just above the tie clip.

My friend, GWT alum and fellow Memphian, Asher Wolmark, commented that he dug the tie but didn’t agree with my shirt selection. He said the collar was too big for the tiny knot (tiny despite the half-windsor, that is) and I tend to agree. Live and learn, even after 143 ties.

Thanks for reading…Brooke
