12 Ties for Menswear Experts - How Many Do YOU Own?

[@darksabzero]

Big respect for saying that there are a lot of other tie brands and not exclusively Fort Belvedere!

[@jkrause365]

Thanks!

[@jetsons101]

You guys and this channel are so enjoyable to watch, just the right amount of humor to go with the information. I'm a lifelong mechanic and never have had to "dress up," but if things were different, you are the place I would go. Thanks for your time and work......

[@KRW628]

I went to an all-boys Catholic high school where we wore ties every day, For years, I wore ties every day at work. I love ties (I've got about a hundred). These days, my favorites are solid color silk knit ties which go with any shirt I wear - solids, stripes, or checks.

[@moorshound3243]

I love ties, it is far to easy to end up with dozens of them. Funny but one of my favourite ties is a bright blue with a pattern wedding style tie, I don't care if people think I have just come form a wedding I like it. Thank you for all the hard work you guys put into your videos it really shows.

[@vegetables1593]

Me to most of these ties: Oh, I like that tie, I would definitely get that in blue. The rest of my wardrobe: MORE blue? I definitely have a blue problem, and I'm not talking about feeling down

[@teekue]

Same. Blue is just so nice. I go out of my way to buy other colours nowadays and yet the blue side seems to grow faster still.

[@ethansmith9065]

My issue is green. I've got a dozen wardrobes in various online shopping carts, and the vast majority of them would be better suited (im the absolute worst, i know) for all-batman comic cons in emerald city.

[@jimmobley533]

My Hermes ties from the 1990's still look good. They were a great long term investment.

[@jkrause365]

Last fall I decided that I needed a knit tie. I happened to have a shirt which was off white but had a checked pattern in brown, tan, navy, and dark red. This combination works very well with a brown corduroy vest and a brown tweed sport coat, and tan corduroy trousers. I think it's a great fall outfit. Now to find a nice pocket square to go with the jacket.

[@silita6193]

lol Its good to know I'm not the only 1 who loves collecting ties thumbs up

[@Molach101]

Regarding the association ties at 17:19 they are still very common in the UK. I tend to see more regimental ties than club ties where I live in Scotland, the most common in my area being Black Watch. You will see ex military men, often older, wearing their blazers, grey trousers and regimental ties marching on Remembrance Sunday. Any time my grandfather got dressed up, he didn't really wear suits - each Sunday for church or a dinner or event or whatever, he wore his blazer, grey trousers, black shoes and regimental tie.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Yeah, how they skip TARTAN altogether???

[@Molach101]

@@Highland_Paddy Tartan neckties are becoming increasingly common here in Scotland. Scottish politicians are adopting them a bit like how American politicians often wear red, white & blue outfits

[@Highland_Paddy]

​@@Molach101 So they're wearing Campbell e'en tho they're a MacDonald or something? Yah, but at least less of our politicians and newscasters are wearing the all-black suits lately. Progress...

[@Molach101]

@@Highland_Paddy Well, I think I've seen a few wearing their own clan tartan ties but a lot of the tartans you see now are more like fashion tartans chosen for aesthetics and without affiliation. But politicians seem to be adopting tartan ties & checked suits more for patriotic reasons

[@cameronsaint116]

I was fortunate enough to have had a grandpa with a tie collecting hobby, when he passed he gave me his ties. I now have over 35 ties, about 10 of which are looney tunes ties, these ties are my favorite to look at because they are both goofey and remind me of him.

[@justinsimmonds5674]

Ties are absolutely amazing.

[@baebee3]

So glad I found this channel and this video in particular- now I know a proper tie I can get for my future husband for our future wedding that doesnt exist yet

[@allikitos]

Got a bit more than thirty ties, and I love every single one of them. Most of them, they were "love at first glance". I saw the tie, was instantly blown away, and bought it. That's how I buy ties. If it doesn't catch my eye and attention immediately, I won't get to like it by staring it for long

[@BadMotivator66]

Great channel, very accessible for someone like myself who is just beginning an interest in this. Well done to Sven, Preston, Kyle and the rest of the GG team :)

[@craft-o-matic399]

Sven prefers to be called Raphael dear.

[@BadMotivator66]

@@craft-o-matic399 I was a bit confused about that...

[@rohlajs3724]

I think the tie should be in the iconic bottle green of Fort Belvedere and right beneath the knot could be the Ft. Belvedere logo. The rest could have stripes in ivory or a pale yellow similar to a repp stripe tie.

[@rlkinnard]

no logos

[@Slaweniskadela]

As always, it has been a pleasure to watch! :) Thank You!

[@dandiehm8414]

Well done (again) Preston. I think you have the best videos on this channel. And the "pun police" won't be after you for this episode either!

I can’t believe you’ve got my high school tie up (21 minutes) 😂😂😂. Mon the uddy 😂

[@gentlemaninjapan1994]

I own this bronzy gold knit tie, works wonders with navy vests and is my favourite tie

[@andrewbennett650]

Not sure if you’re taking requests over at GG, but I’d love to see a video about plus size men’s fashion - especially RTW. My 265lb self has a hard time finding clothes that fit comfortably! Absolutely love all of your content by the way 🙌🏼

[@carbonado2432]

theres a channel called big pretty man or something like that. sounds like its what you want

[@viclucyzia]

[@stephanesurprenant60]

I love those stripped grenadine ties from Fort Belvedere like the one Preston is wearing. They're incredibly beautiful and designed exactly right like many of their other ties. It's not something I can get myself right now, but maybe one day.

[@j3tztbassman123]

I'm partial to bow ties, for most any situation.

[@joshuamercado2783]

I think that the Fort Belvedere association tie would be a forest green tie with edelweiss motifs

[@gentlemansgazette]

Nice idea!

[@craft-o-matic399]

I do love men's ties! I sell pre-owned, mostly classic menswear style ties in my Ebay store, and it's always a fun challenge to find great ties in the wild that are in excellent condition. This is a great video! Thank you Preston, Raphael, et al! Have a wonderful week! Lisa

[@dannyturner7967]

How do we find u on ebay

[@puffypegion7815]

Hey love the content, It would be awesome if you guys could review/go over the black tie outfit you guys often use in background display. (the one with the detachable wing collar and white tie shirt)

[@MrEvers]

I've about 100 ties, though only 30 are in general rotation. I personally prefer large patterned ties (paisley, floral, medaillon)

[@sailnav]

Each military medal hangs from a ribbon with a Repp-type pattern. A company called Ties of Honor sells its large collection that replicates the ribbons into ties. I personally wear one that celebrates the USAF Air Medal that I was awarded a half-century ago over the skies of Southeast Asia.

[@dddunlap86]

I love your channel thank you for what you do!😊

[@stephencooper5040]

18:15 for those associated with military service these are called "regimental ties."

[@admiraljohnsten1235]

A Gentleman's Gazette tie you should make it similar to Fort Belvedere colours. A British racing green colour with like silver/light grey stripes and a little GG with channel icon at the bottom or something would look mint.

[@gentlemansgazette]

[@Jamespennington71]

What kind of jacket is shown at the 4:27 mark? I need to find one of those!

[@jpurdes]

As far as I'm aware, you mentioned them in passing a couple of years ago, but would you care to expand on bolo ties sometimes? I'm fascinated by this piece of Americana, and I think they can be pulled off (sorry) better than novelty or even graphic ties.

[@carbonado2432]

i like some, i think some of them can be cool

[@johnmurdoch8534]

Im partial to vintage ties significantly shorter than new ones with bold but abstract patterns..ameoba pattern etc. I wish ties like this were still easily available.

[@marxmustermahn3522]

I am probably way too late, but in case, somebody will still be reading this: The light blue flower tie, I believe Rafael is wearing @32 sec of the video, I have not been able to find that one in your shop. Any remeberance, where this may have been bought? Edit: And while we're at it (if we are), the same question goes for the yellow tie @11:22 / 14:00. I believe, both are the same. I have never really been a die hard tie guy, but those are fantastic and have the potential to change my opinion on this quite strongly.

[@DavidJAFoster]

I have around 85 ties, not including bowties. Raphael makes me wish I had a burnt orange blazer!

[@derlachendevagabund7942]

Four: black, college, army, Paisley

[@D_Jilla]

This may be a "dumb" question, but where do tie patterns come from? Tie patterns intrigue me because they are so various and seemingly random. I've never seen two of the same tie patterns, not speaking of popular weaves, so they're kind of like works of art.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Not a dumb question at all! When talking about irregular tie patterns (i.e. not stripes), the designs can come from pretty much anywhere. If it can be thought of, you can put it on a tie!

[@D_Jilla]

We didn't mention 7(+) Fold ties! Is Fort Belvedere going to see 7 fold ties available in future??

[@theoldman5769]

I am nearing 200 neckties with a few bow ties and ascots.

[@Tomh821]

If in doubt use a red tie with a very conservative pattern over a white shirt.

[@TeslaRules1856]

For whatever reason I balk at any rough knit ties or any kind. I am considering a Navy Grenadine due to all the recommendations on the net, but it has to be "fina" for me to even consider buying it. Edit - as I review my ties from over 15-20 years ago, all handmade 100% silk in conservative patterns, it appears that any kind of sheen seems to out of fashion in favor of muted weaves.

[@viclucyzia]

How many do I own? Almost 70 in silk and also in wool. This doesn't include cravats and bow ties. And the funniest is I am one of the seldom few who wears a tie.

[@Paddy_002]

Liebe deutsche Gentlemans, wo kauft ihr eure Kleidung? Ich bin grade am Anfang mir klassische Outfits zusammenzustellen und so begeistert von den Videos, kann aber schwierig diese Kleidung finden, insbesondere Hosen und Anzüge im klassischen Schnitt. Gibt es hier Erfahrungen oder Empfehlungen?

*WHEN I MOVED HOUSE* I accidentally threw away an entire black trash bag of ties thinking it was the bag of trash bags - 2 months later I found a bag of trash bags in the closet. Over 200 ties - 25 years of collecting - Channel - Harvey Nicks - Zegner - Donahue - Fermagio - Brioni - Dunhill - Canali - YSL - Cucinelli + lots of rare vintage ties At least $20k Somewhere in Bulgaria is a bag of $20k of ties in a landfill AAAGGGGHHHH - its not the money - almost everyone was bought second-hand, I LIKED EVERY ONE

[@stephencooper5040]

I actually prefer a thin tie, and I don't mean narrow, but "not bulky." To me, too many 100% silk ties seem to feel as if they are bunched up around my collar. I have found that I prefer a wool/silk, or linen/silk blend. I also don't mind that the texture reflects less light giving it a more casual appearance. I don't wear a tie for business anyway.

[@mikeharris5330]

Nice,atmosphere...

[@zzzzoot]

When listing colours that compliment yellow, why did you omit purple which is its direct compliment? Is purple/yellow too un-masculine or something..?

[@HermanVonPetri]

It may have more to do with the articles of clothing that are actually available in those colors. You may be able to find a plumb/aubergine colored suit or jacket that doesn't make you look like The Joker, but they are certainly less common than other colors. A pastel yellow jacket is certainly in the cards for spring/summer if you're of a bold nature. But wearing it with a purple tie may make it look like you're attending an Easter egg hunt. Of course, shades of tan, straw and mustard are in the yellow family and could certainly pair with purples like plumb, lilac or violet. I'm sure that those with a better eye than me can find a combination that suits them well, and I salute anyone who can pull it off.

[@spaghettiking7312]

15 ties can be enough for your entire life if they're versatile and you know how to pair them well.

In the beginning they used pink for both genders but as always it doesn't stay the same. I think I read it somewhere you can research it. I'm female and your selection is spot on. Don't laundry your ties use a dry cleaner I know they're expensive but do you really want a warped tie
