KissTies Solid Satin Necktie

This collection had a tie bar and no tie, which is a funny gap. Solid satin in a single colour is the most useful tie a man can own and the hardest to get wrong — no pattern to clash, no novelty to regret. At nine dollars it is not silk and it does not drape like silk; it is slightly stiffer and shinier, which reads fine in an office and less well in photographs. Seventeen thousand buyers suggests most people find that trade acceptable. Buy two in navy and charcoal and he is covered for every occasion that needs one.
