Where to Buy a Tie
Back to the Blog... | Post Feedback | Author Bio | Printer-Friendly
 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. Garmany, 121 Broad St., Redbank, New Jersey, 732-576-8500; www.garmany.com
