They just rolled my doll right out the door

Okay, how did I miss this?



I'm inspired to hit Lovegarden tonight so I can pick up the few remaining Zep albums I don't already own (I think I have five of the nine) and have my own Zeppethon this weekend.

Tumblr Tuesday resumes! Today's collection, Tuesday, January 8: Men's Fashion.

You know I'm gonna learn how to do those.

Speaking of ties; did I ever link you to Lee Allison ties?

http://www.leeallison.com/

A line from their FAQ:
What’s with the “Remove Before Sex” message? Do all your ties have it?

You did, but JEEEZZZZUS $$$$$$$$$$. I buy my ties at the thrifts and vintage stores.

Fuck that noise.

For what it's worth, it's a small tag on the underside of the wide end (If I recall correctly), and on the underside of the narrow end is another small tag that says "or knot!"

:D

I knew you'd like it!

Yes, not cheap. But high end fabrics, high quality manufacturing, made in USA. And if treated well, ties last a long time.

As my 50s and early 60s ties will attest! Modern ties are just too wide for me. I don't like the way they look on my chest, so I go for the vintage skinny ones.

The Pratt Knot is simple, but I like it a lot and I think I might learn to tie it instead of my standard Four-In-Hand.
