Silk, yet my tie wearing days are few and far between.

Oh, gosh. What a pity that would be.

Ties, 20 lbs., artlessly displayed

I don't own as many as Rex, but I have quite a collection; substantially supplemented with the passing of my father in law earlier this year. I wear them only for work functions and occasional holidays, but I do enjoy a variety.

You might also want to go to www.clubties.com/tie_design.asp and scroll down to the next to last club tie-- and add in your colours.

For that it's worth I'd suggest using two colours of blue separated by a narrow gold stripe (for the dandelion) as this will give the tie a less "busy" look. Generally striped ties are fairly busy with multiple stripes and colours, whereas club and regimental ties tend to be simpler in design and pattern.

Regimental and club ties harken back to the time when the "colours" were often the livery colours of the Regimental Colonel or founder/benefactor of the Club. Often a third colour would be introduced to provide a clean division between the broad stripes-- in this instance gold between two blue stripes.

A club tie, like a regiment tie or coat of arms, should be simple, and easily identified across a crowded room, on the platform of a foreign train station, or looped over the door knob of one's bedroom door when enjoying a weekend party at a friend's country house.

Tried those suggestions, MoR, and I thought the result was really good.
