They also have a nice Scots lion, Welsh dragon, and what may be my downfall, the palmetto and crescent moon (or gorget if you prefer) symbolic of my home state.

Otherwise, just keep an eye out for striped ties in school (or other appropriate) colors.
Yes indeed, Ben Silver is dangerous to a gentleman's pocketbook for a myriad of reasons! :mrgreen:

I know several of their ties, and they are some of the best ties I own -- besides my aforementioned society/club ties, I also own one of their Churchill polka dot ties.
