After several years of sartorial elegance, Kirby Allison has amassed an ever-growing collection of ties. However, despite having an array of ties to choose from, Kirby usually finds himself drawn back to a few select pieces. In this video, Kirby will showcase some of these ties and provide some insight into why they are his favorites.

As a follow up to this video, it would be nice for you to go into detail about hallmarks of a quality tie. More specifically, I am currently looking for a knit tie to wear on less formal occasions so your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I too gravitated towards "louder" ties when I was younger, though I eventually got rid of most of them and settled on darker, more subdued patterns. Ironically, I still have two of my ties from when I first started collecting - a couple of cheap Enro ties that I got suckered into buying from a huckster who resold older Boss suits at marked-up prices. When I wore one (a bright red piece) to a (Canadian) election party, I not only nabbed an interview with a newspaper, but got a date with the most beautiful woman in the room.


It's all about circumstance and style. What doesn't work in one situation may do wonders in another.

Would be interested to see a video on your favorite tie knots. Yours always seem to be spot on. Great video as always, Kirby! Cheers, from Madison, WI.

Great examples of being “classy” without being loud.

With the holidays at the doorstep, I was considering adding a new tie to my arsenal. You video has given me some good ideas, thank you!

Grenadine tie is a great option to have in one's wardrobe. It doesn't scream for attention yet it gives off a sophisticated and nonchalant vibe. As I matured I too found myself playing with texture while sticking to proven color schemes. I own two such ties (silver-ish and burgundy) and they work especially well for festive events. Thank you for mentioning ancient madder, I wasn't aware of this style even though the patterns look a bit too busy for my taste.

You know What would be a Nice tie? A knit tie in hamlindigo blu 😄

I like all the ties you had laid out. Great choices.
I am 6'9" tall, can you recommend a company that sells extra long ties for me to buy?
I'm a few months out from attending a wedding. Thanks

Great video! I am really interested in knowing what tie knot are you using in the video? Thanks!

Hi Kirby, I didn't see any narrow ties. What is your opinion on skinny or not so wide ties? When should I wear what types of ties?

[EddyWoon]

Excellent video. My favourite tie is a black and white houndstooth, somewhat similar to your basket weave tie. It is suitable for a business meeting or a cocktail event.

Nice video and a nice collection. Thanks for sharing. Really like the glasses too.
Looking forward to the next one!

Hi Kirby, is that silver and black square pattern tie still available. Im thinking of this as an option for my wedding. Cheers

How true about when you first buy ties how you lean towards louder ones. And you find yourself wearing them the least. I also seem to gravitate to certain favorites. More classic in style. I you like to know you thoughts of tie knots and the logic behind it.

Speaking of ties, what kind of tie knot are you using in this video? Looks like an old bertie but I am really not sure. Also, how do you have it to look so “long”? Is that the wodth of the narrower of your tie that is wider than the normal?

Keep up the good work. Your videos are always very well done and informative.

Hello Kirby
Great tie collection! I have an on/off obsession with ties and during my college years I bought a lot of amazing ties from Versace, Hermes and Lacroix. Alas I didn’t store them properly so after a decade I find some have creases where they were folded etc. once after dry cleaning one silk tie it was ruined so I’m hesitant to try again. Any hacks or special products to use in order to get the creases out of a fine silk tie? Thank you

[roskes]

Fantastic video as usual, thanks!! what about a continuation with your pocket square collection?

[RootsRockRebel]

What kind of knot is that you're wearing in the video? I love how symmetrical it is and what a nice dimple it forms.

[joestraw]

How does your height determine the length of the tie? For example if one is 6'6" tall what size tie should I buy?

I like the Black and Silver basket weave tie. You said you had it made but I did not see it in your website.
