Originally posted by devastitis View PostI have the Navy and Wine. Great ties. Next are Black and Brown.
I'd love to branch out to compare the two, but for $75 that's a pricey experiment lol.

Originally posted by believe0101 View PostHave you tried out Kent Wang's grenadines by any chance? Someone suggested them to me but I went with Chipp because it's slightly cheaper and a finer weave. Now that I'm looking at some more grenadines though, a couple appear to be fine-weave (e.g. purple) while others appear to be loose weave (e.g. this burgundy or this burgundy/black).

Originally posted by devastitis View PostHighly recommend Berg & Berg as well. They have sales occasionally and that's when I usually stock up.
I have not, mainly because they're pretty pricey. At that price point I'd take a look at Sam Hober as well.

Thanks.Originally posted by devastitis View PostI don't have anything from the TieBar, but for Chipp I have 2 grenadines, and they're my favorite ties. Waiting on the black to come back like [MENTION=2622]hornsup84[/MENTION].
EDIT: Just to add, Berg & Berg also has some nice ties for reasonable prices when on sale; a good place to find some nice patterns/stripes in a good size ~3in. I haven't tried their knit ties, so can't comment there.

I own the wine, it's phenomenal. Just ordered a bunch this morning: purple (not lilac), brown, slate blue, and rust... just want to add black to finish it out.
