new source of striped ties

[FossilHunter]

Since repp and regimental ties are a traditional British accessory but uncommon in the US (striped ties are common but usually are just a fashion accessory) I thought I would share a source of meaningful striped ties I found to add to the list alongside the Army Benevolent Fund tie.

I recently discovered Statesman Ties which sells striped ties based on the flags of US states. Some of the simple flags, like Alaska, are more like a club style tie with the lone flag symbol repeated on a blue field.

Here is an example of the "California" tie:

They also have ties based on the flags of some nations (including the ones where most Xmarkers live: the US, UK, Australia, and Canada).

Here is the "Australia" tie (a bit more of a club style):

The prices aren't bad and the ties are silk.
