Hunt for the White Tie

Rehan · 13 Sep 2009 at 20:32

I'm looking for a white tie like the ones below. I think they are cheap knock-offs as Google has never heard of a designer named "Joe Smith". Can anyone find a store where I can purchase this tie. I've looked everywhere and can't find it.

Your Reward, my thanks and appreciation of your superior searching skills :cool:

Can't you just buy one of them? Who cares if its a knock-off....it's a tie

I need it for an event and it says delivery is between 7 and 14 days which is cutting it close. Also I have questions about quality which can't be addressed by a poor photo of said tie.

Debenhams? House of Fraser? T.M Lewin? Tie Rack? Where do you live?

Tried em all, nada. I live in London.

Looks like a tie worn with a morning suit (weddings) have you tried Moss Bros?

Get a black tie and spray/dye it?

buy the tie and ask the seller to send it by super-express delivery (EMS-speedpost will do). you will need to pay about £5 extra for this.

if you do, it should only take about 2 days to arrive once it's been sent.

You havn't looked very hard.

On Friday I bought a relatively nice white silk tie from Debenhams. it's made by Thomas Nash and cost £10 less 25% discount.

Tie Rack and Next also had white silk ties, but they weren't as nice.

I've had three ties done by these guys (one of them is shown as an example).
Can't remember their delivery times though.

Next does white ties and I know for a fact Debenhams has them, we were laughing at the black shirt, white tie combination whilst queuing.

edit: Topman also does a relatively thin white tie.

EDIT:Nope, just buy it off ebay

Just go to the event and chloroform one of other guests, taking his tie and maybe more ?

You can thank me later.

Just go to B&Q and cut some wallpaper to size, I'm sure my granny has that exact same pattern in her front room, in white too.

Stolly · 13 Sep 2009 at 23:59

How about using one of the napkins from the table ?

Skidder · 14 Sep 2009 at 11:31

go to Jermyn street you may find that one of the shops specialises in ties with a complete lack of taste and style...........if so, bingo.
