   I'm thinking of buying a glen plaid tie, but can't decide between the following three options:
   Hickey Freeman wool/cashmere, 3.375 inch width for $62.47
   Allen Edmonds silk, 3.5 inch width for $52.06
   Kent Wang 6-fold silk, 3 inch width for $85
   (Prices may look different for you, as I get hit by tax).

   What do you think is the best option, when looks, size, and price are considered? Any other options you think I should consider?

   My favorite is the AE. The HF is a little old-mannish to me, and the Kent Wang just feels busy somehow.

   I'm a little partial to the Hickey Freeman one especially it being winter and all. I love the wool look.

   My second choice would be the AE one.

   I love the HF, but then I'm a little old-mannish :)

   Seriously, I love the texture of the wool / cashmere

   The HF. A glen plaid tie was meant to be a material other than silk. That wool cashmere is fantastic.

   The HF seems slightly more causal to me, but I do gravitate to that one most.

   HF. Don't mind the AE, but 3.5" is starting to get wide, too, and I feel that wool ties are better in a slimmer look. (Mind you that I also don't go below 3" widths for ties personally)

    I like the IDEA of the HF tie. Just not a fan of the execution.

    Hopefully I'm not too late... you could get all three of these for $45 from http://www.thetiebar.com
    I have about 10 of their ties, silk,wool, silk knit, cotton and they're all fantastic. Consider it, I think you'll be pleased.

    I prefer the HF. Looks like the price is $42.0, now.
