OK, might as well get it out there: the X Marks the Scot tie

OK How about these

And just for Phil

**Rex_Tremende** · 22nd August 09, 05:53 AM

Something like this maybe,

but I think there might be too much gray and white in it.

Regards,
Rex.

Oh, look at you, Glen, with the patterns even.

Nice.

Count me in for a silk woven X Marks necktie.

I think this is a good direction, but you're right, the gray and white stripes are probably too large.

Aw - Glen... You're my hero!

**Livingston** · 22nd August 09, 07:43 AM

I would go with Glen's design.

Alan, you certainly got some traction with this topic!

Necktie versus bow tie is a red herring. As Glen points out, the same fabric can serve for both, with a modicum of care. I'd probably want one of each, but bow tie is my first choice.

Beau Ties, Ltd. is a possible source. They can work with customer fabric, or help from design to execution. Customer fabric carries a very modest set-up and per-tie surcharge. Full service probably requires a lump sum up front. We'd have to ask about terms and minimum orders.

I like Glen's design a lot, but I would suggest switching the white and grey stripes, that puts the white line in the blue field, more like the tartan.
