Vintage Red Patterned Tie

This is a really cool looking red tie with a striped pattern made of an acetone fabric. Daddy paired it up with a cream shirt (with matching red cufflinks of course) and gold toned tie bar. I couldn’t have paired it better myself!

I know some tie aficionados out there cringe at the idea of some of the non-traditional fabrics used in the 40s and 50s for neckties and would rather go with silk or wool depending on the season. Personally, I like some of the more unusual fabrics out there because I think it adds a little bit of history to the tie, as well as some good texture from time to time.

Super Skinny Yellow 50s Tie

Here’s one of Daddy’s ties that always seems to make the grade. It’s super skinny (1 3/4 inches!) and seems to go well with any shirt he pulls out of the closet.

Goool!

To celebrate the start of World Cup my Daddy wore a very appropriate tie! It had Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Pig Pen, and Linus all playing soccer on it. Sorry, I meant to say football!

This outfit scores a goal in my book! Goooool!

Personally I think that the tie went really well with the with with light blue stripe shirt, brown slacks, and navy blazer he wore. Of course, he had to wear a hat too.

The Rolls-Royce of Vintage Ties

My Daddy is a car buff, so I’m guessing that’s why he has this tie. He tried to wear it to work today with his light yellow Pierre Cardin dress shirt and complained that it was too short for his outfit (he didn’t have a jacket to cover the gap). I don’t know what his complaint is, since it’s too big for me! Of course, when he left for work I immediately buried it in my bed* to post it on my Tie Club.

I don't think it's too short!

Of course, he’s only ever taken me for a car ride in his Smart Car, so if he really does have a Rolls-Royce he’s holding out on me! So I’m offering this one for sale on my Tie Club. Or I’ll really trade it for a ride in your Rolls-Royce! (You just might have to let my Daddy ride too…)

*Don’t worry. I didn’t really bury it. It’s been cleaned and is ready to wear. I haven’t licked it once since it was cleaned…

Hot Pink Ted Baker

Real men wear pink (or so Daddy tells me!) That’s why he wore this hot pink Ted Baker tie with a black dress shirt. He loves getting compliments in this outfit!

I think it looks pretty hot myself!

Vintage Gold Tie with Striped Shirt

Sometimes Daddy just puts together a really cool looking combination, and I figured I should post some of them here as fashion tips for people who don’t have a friendly pup like me to help pick out their ties in the morning.

This time my Daddy took a gold tie with a starburst-like pattern on it and paired it with a vintage English blue and white stripe shirt. He really likes the shirt because the stripes go horizontally. I like the tie because it really pops on the shirt and I might try and steal it one day when he’s not looking!
