Wood Ties

It looks like the eco-friendly movement is in full effect. Wood Thumb - a startup based in San Francisco - manufactures wood ties.

Wood Ties are made using lightweight, reclaimed wood, with each varying in colors, knots, nail holes and grain patterns. They’re available in two sizes, large (21.5″ long) and small (19.25″ long), and are held together by an elastic cord that runs lengthwise through the tie and around your shirt collar. The cords can also be adjusted to change the length of the tie.

Wood Ties may be perfect for those who are quirky and like to be unique, but be warned… we wouldn’t recommend wearing one to a job interview.

Mr. Bathing Ape 2011 Spring/Summer Ties

Go ahead and admit it: you thought “Mr. Bathing Ape”, upon first glance, was some kind of in-shower scrubbing device. Not quite. Mr. Bathing Ape (besides the slightly bizarre and/or humorous name) is a brand from I.T. Hysan and the products in the picture represent part of his always creative Spring and Summer collection (2011) of mens’ ties.

This charming, slightly whimsical set of neck-wear sports a restrained version of ‘BAPE’s’ more glittery, camo design and features a Pringles-like mustache (presumably ‘Mr. Bathing Ape’s) near center-bottom. The underside of the ties features various printed designs, such as the peeking lady as shown above.
