A picnic tie! It took me a few seconds to figure out it was picnic-ware, though....

Hi guys, I would like to know what you all think about thin ties, that are the same width on the whole length...
I was going to post you a photo of mine, but can't manage it. Anyway, I think you all know what I'm talking about...
How should you tie them? Are they worn on same occasions as "ordinary" ties? I don't really like them myself, so I'm trying to find out more about them.

(PS : I like your "signature", jamespower !)

Skinny ties are not difficult to tie it is just that you cannot tie them with the larger knots as it looks kind of silly. A skinny tie with a windsor is usually a bit much. It is one of the reasons I don't like them. :p A four in hand should be fine. A half windsor makes it look a little more even though.

(yes, unfortunately, it is very true. :p)

Oh and you do not get picture posting priviledges until you reach 10 or 15 posts if I remember right. Post more comments and you will get there quickly. :p

Oh, good to know for the images rights - that wasn't even the problem though, I just simply can't manage to connect my Blackberry to my computer :p

I tried a four in hand, but the tie still looks awkward. Can't be helped, I guess - now I understand why I never see anyone wearing them...

I wear them a lot, and a four-in-hand usually works well. Thin ties are not as colorful as the Bold Look ones, but many of them pop up with interesting designs, and they don't look antiquated. Ignore any comments from JamesPowers...
