And even it has wide lapels.

Yeah, because it's yours, to match the fat cigars. It is a nice jacket, though.

Recently got this in a trade with Damian:



"Bond 21 Style Manor all silk," 21/4"wide. Not sure what the motif is (angels), but it does look cool.

Not bad for something my father got in Korea in 1951.
Cigars are another study in themselves.

If it was your father's, then it is a collectible.

I have some Hermes ties which make me feel like an old geezer.
I prefer ties from Dior homme and dolce. More modern.

And the REAL tie of the day is:

 

[Widebrim]

^^I sold one just like that, except that somebody had stitched on an Italian label, which I took off.

Here is, I believe, the first marbled tie I had ever purchased. It is from Cardinal Custom Neckwear, NYC, and it's a shortie (and WIDE).

Now THAT is wide enough.

 

[Widebrim]

Yeah, wide enough to hold the tomato vines together (and it blends in, too).

NO. We don't use good ties for that. We use KNOT for that.

^^And now you know how I feel about thin ties supposedly being used for that purpose. Knasty Old Ties, yes...

But thin ties are nasty. Thy call out for a tomato vine so it can useful for something.

Some beholders are blind.
