Some time back, I mentioned the appearance of one hundred and twenty-some neckties by Tommy Hilfiger. Now, I have become a good bit of a neckwear person in the development of my clotheshorse, but still most all of them are purchased for a quarter. These started off noticably higher, so I let them sit and watched…
Today was their twenty-five cents/five for a buck day. I brought home forty-one of them. That would be eight and a quarter.
Now, in truth, I don’t much care for that label as a style, or any other names for that matter. I do, however, look for certain labels as a sign of how the garment is made. Hilfiger’s neckties have caught my attention. Some of his ties have a contrasting fabric for the narrow end. This is the sort of detail that fascinates me in the making of things; similar to the thought of dovetail assembly in furniture-making. I love details that do not show in the presentation. Seriously, think about it: Someone went to the effort to choose a fabric and a coordinate for each of these, the second of which will never be seen when worn in a traditional manner.
That is hot.
So, how to exhibit the haul in images….
I am getting dirty thoughts. No surprise there.
