    If we can find a company to make a good quality tie, to a design we can agree on, at a price that is in the range our members can afford, I think this would be a great addition.
    Sounds like a plan to me. [BOLD added]

    Lets face it guys, we love to express our opinions and vote on polls.
    And I agree, when it is all said and done. We will be happy with the result.
    Just remember there was a time when we didn't have a clan plant badge, but with expressing ideas, poll voting, we now do!

    The one-man committee. Sounds like a plan to me, too.

    Yes, as can be seen here http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...tml#post780113

    This is the one that got my vote last time. If we are talking club style ties, this is (IMHO) a classic example.

    I really like design number one, Mark! But I think the general consensus is to stick to the colours of the X-Marks Tartan, which is something I understand and can live with; though something a bit more flashy appeals to me as well!

    And I agree with the latest sentiment that a one-man (or few-men, at the most) committee is the best way to get the ball rolling; the last thread was shut down over a year ago and still no X-Marks ties have been made!

    I'm with Standard. This is a tie that could be worn with any kilt, but more importantly would look good with any suit or jacket.

    I think McMurdo did a stellar job in coming up with the design, and if it is available in silk, put me down for two. Plus a bow tie.

    One necktie and one bowtie for me, please!

    Maybe this idea of a man committee is working out, okay. Thanks, Glenn!

    Agreed. A truly fine club tie design. I'll take one and a bow as well, if they are made in silk.

    Here is one possible idea I haven't seem put forth yet. This follows the same thread count as the actual X Marks Tartan.
