Source for regimantal striped bow ties

[SlackerDrummer]

I have a couple of ties from The Tie Bar and they vary. One I dislike because the twill of the tie is very large (nearly the equivalent of corduroy). For inexpensive striped ties I have found those at neckties.com to be of good quality. And for men of average height their boys ties would be perfect for the kilt.

I suppose the pure silk neckties would not have the twill showing? I know what you mean, and I don't care for that look. I like my silk ties to be as smooth as possible!

Why not? It has to do with the way they are woven, not with the material. I have ties from much more expensive makers (Brooks Brothers, Izod, etc.) that have the exact same weave, it's just that theirs are finer. I suspect it has to do more with the size of the threads than their content as I believe these are 100% silk.

Gotcha - that makes sense. My neck and bow ties from Ben Silver and Brooks Brothers are very smooth, without any noticeable woven 'lines' that resemble something as large as corduroy. I may just stick with their (The Tie Bar) pocket squares if I decide to place an order with them - not sure though.
