    This is the one that got my vote last time. If we are talking club style ties, this is (IMHO) a classic example.
    I'm with Standard. This is a tie that could be worn with any kilt, but more importantly would look good with any suit or jacket.

    I think McMurdo did a stellar job in coming up with the design, and if it is available in silk, put me down for two. Plus a bow tie.

    One necktie and one bowtie for me, please!

    Maybe this idea of a man committee is working out, okay. Thanks, Glenn!

    Agreed. A truly fine club tie design. I'll take one and a bow as well, if they are made in silk.

    Here is one possible idea I haven't seem put forth yet. This follows the same thread count as the actual X Marks Tartan.

    Nice, Steve, but I still like the McMurdo MkIII.

    I agree; I still prefer the Glen's MkIII. I would take one in silk as well.

    One more vote for the McMurdo MkIII. I'll buy a silk tie and bowtie.

    I'd follow with the McMurdo tie scheme as well. put down for a silk one if we go with a nonsilk version at some point I would get one of those as well for work.

    Also I found This Company who's options include custom color combinations embroidery and orders as few as 24 ties. not sure of pricing but worth a look.

    for a better pricing check out This Company min order is 50 ties again but they have great pricing $22.80 per for 50 in silk or $17.40 per for 50 in poly.

    An organization I belong to recently commissioned Beau Ties of Vermont to design a sample tie for our group. I saw the sample tie a couple of weeks ago, and I was very impressed by their work.
