Think you can't score a deal at TJMaxx?

Spence I am a little out of touch in the tie department. The last time I did look at some ties was at Wrentham Mall in one of those 5th Avenue stores, can't remember the name, and the ties in there were $50.00 on sale. Those prices just steeled my opinon about wearing ties because someone named Cravat in the 1400's thought it was pretty. I consider myself dressed up if the denims are new and the polo shirt as well is new. To me someone wearing a tux is like me wearing Dockers. I am not making fun of those who do dress up and look nice, certainly not. It is just not me. $145.00 is wild though. Must be silk, and very nice silk at that.

I own one tie I paid nearly a hundred dollars for. It's completely handmade down to the rolled edges. More handwork than a custom plug, it's a work of art.

But 98% of my ties were purchased at discount for less than 20 bucks...and ideally less than 15.

I think the money is crazy as well, but there is so much wealth in this country that won't bat an eyelash at a 200 dollar tie to go with their four thousand dollar suit

And for the record, my most expensive suit was 180 bucks
