Where to Buy a Tie We would normally say that we think Century 21 is a good place to shop for discounts, and discounted designer ties among those bargains. Or Hermès, definitely, for classy ties, distinguished ties. Ties that any knowing eye would recognize as readily as one recognizes an Hermès scarf. And what other destinations? Bergdorf Goodman's Men's Store for variety. Or Barneys for the colorful displays...so many ties, so few -- only 365 -- days to wear them. But we're going to throw in a ringer here: Lord & Taylor. And why? Well, it?s really because of the Henry Jacobsen reversible ties (pictured). Other stores have bigger selections, or better selections, or more reasonably priced selections, or whatever. But nobody has these neat reversible ties. And they're barely $75. We think at that price, considering you're getting two-for-the-price-of-one, they're a steal. And lest we forget: For those venturing beyond the Hudson (mon Dieu!), there is a wonderfully upscale, family-owned store called Garmany in Redbank, in La Nouvelle Jersey, that has an amazing selection of ties, many of which you will find nowhere else. Don't ask -- we don't know how Larry Garmany and his son Johnell do it, but they find manufacturers in Italy who do exclusive, limited-edition runs of ties with prices that can soar up to $300...so we figured it's worth a mention here. You definitely will not see yourself coming and going in those Garmany ties. Lord & Taylor, 424 Fifth Ave., 212-391-3344; www.lordandtaylor.com.
