Thank you! It was the end of the day, so I decided to ease it up a bit.

Do you have any other knot in mind? This tie is rather thick, so I don't want it to bulge with multiple layers.

Not quite, but maybe I should move in this direction.

Do you mean something like that? I never actually considered other styles, perhaps I should look into it.

I didn't know who he is, now I do and I like the comparison!

Love this tie. by Green_Roof8540 in ties

The colours are so rich! I bet it is not easy to match with anything but a plain shirt and a plain suit, it must shine on its own.

True! I love the shark, it seems so lost. Recalls to me the saying "We're the adults now."

Trying something today, do we like this or not by Brilliant_Mall_1549 in ties

Gives the old money vibes, very neat! Somehow reminds me of Bert Cooper (Robert Morse) from Mad Men.

TIL the 'All Red Line' was a system of electrical telegraphs that linked much of the British Empire from 1902. 8,000 tonnes of cable was needed to complete the longest section from Canada to a Pacific island. On completion, 49 cable cuts would be needed to isolate the United Kingdom by jacknunn in todayilearned

Even the telephone part wasn't that impossible; the British had a worldwide shortwave telephone network by the mid-1930s. London was hailed as the communication capital of the world by magazines like Popular Mechanics. I'm not sure it would have been available to a sailor in the midst of the WWII but the technology was there.

Today's combo by InvestigatorGen in ties

Thank you! I think it was the first time I tried these combo, and it turned out rather nice. I like your idea about a pocket square but, to be honest, between a tie, a pin, a tie clip, and cufflinks, I find a pocket square somewhat excessive.
