    Question US Army (Regimental) Ties?

    Having read with great interest on here more than once about the use of regimental ties with the kilt, got me searching the internet for a US Army "regimental" styled tie. What I've found so far has lead to this one silk tie:



    Regimental ties seem to be quite varied in style/commemoration of military service/units in Britain, but on this side of the pond the same seems to be quite lacking (at least from what I've found).

    My question:
    Does anyone know of any sources for regimental ties that commemorate US military service (most specifically the US Army) other than the one shown in the photo above?

    I have seen at least two different versions of the USMC tie, and wonder if there is another Army version floating around out there that I'm unaware of?
    How about ties that symbolize the different branches of the Army (e.g. Infantry, Artillery, etc)?

    Thanks in advance from this former 11B for any assistance that can be given.

    Here is a good link
    http://www.theflagcompany.us.com/tiesofhonor.aspx

    They claim they have been approved by the United States Army Institute of Heraldry which is responsible for unit coat of arms and what not.

    Smart Turnout was a website that was suggested on another board as a place to purchase the ABF tie. They sell ties of British military regiments but strangely enough also have a couple 101st AA ties. These ties look great and though I consider the 6th Cav "my" regiment, I did serve with the 101st for a couple of years and currently work as a civilian contractor with them. So these are looking pretty tempting, here is the link.

    I can second that!

    I bought a Ben Silver US Army necktie for my father-in-law, who was an Army Officer in WWII and is thankfully alive and well.

    (I went to the movies with him to see Flags Of Our Fathers... a little spooky, and quite humbling, to see that movie sitting next to a guy who had actually fought the Japanese.)

    The Ben Silver necktie was lovely.
