Ties,regimental,university,college, club.

I had noticed the slant differences too. The Regimental ties, with all them on the same site, you can quickly pick out the American ones..but I still believe I will get the Marine one.. Now just find a site that does not try to kill you on shipping...lol I have paid less to ship a kilt than what they want to ship a silk tie..

Er, if you look at the Smart Turnout website you have a choice of UK or US just click the appropriate flag.That may reduce the cost if ordered through their US branch. I hasten to add, I have no connection to this first rate firm, other than as a satisfied customer over the years.

I note your comments on the slope of the British style regimental/club style ties and I should point out that there are, should anyone be surprised, exceptions! Off the top of my head, the Intelligence Corps, Queens Royal Lancers, Royal Marines and the Royal Air Force ties, slope the other way. No doubt that there are others, however in general, you are correct.

Considering I own both a Royal Marine and Intelligence Corps tie, I should have caught that!

That's the trouble with those damned exceptions!

My Beloit College ties is different from most school ties in that it is not just stripes with the school colors, but also Beloit's emblem embroidered into the tie.

Well that is a classic case of; "each to their own!"

Jock,

My "well played" comment was in regards to Gilmore's joke, not a personal endorsement of college t-shirts. I have worn a college sweatshirt before, but only in the most casual of circumstances.

I quite understood that. It looks as though your sense of humour is not quite on the same wave legnth as mine. Or vice versa!

A sense of humour seperated by a common language, to paraphrase Mr. G.B. Shaw.
