Ties

The tie follows the culture. In the 50's I wore a bow tie. In the 60's I tied a Windsor. In the 70's I went open-necked. In the 80's I had a big aggressive knot that said, do not mess with me. Now I find that what I want is a less-fussed-over-knot with a soft pleating.
It is simple. It is declarative. It feels right. How will I wear my tie in the next decade? Who knows? Ask me then.
