benito and the tie







i met up with my friend benito for lunch a few days ago.

benito was looking jolly smart and i very much admired his tie.
it was a silk tie, quite expensive and from a well respected gentleman's outfitters.

final competition of the year... how much did he pay for his tie ?
( he bought it himself, it wasn't a present )



the prize is a book, cd and dvd... from my coffee table selection this year.

  1. it looks very much like a woven 8cm pin dot silk from drake's.

    I'd guess he paid £95

    I'll only slightly be offended that when i had lunch with you in a suit I got abused for being overdressed!

  2. Jolly nice tie though difficult to say in black and white... Given it's a competition and you were therefore shocked... I'm going for £195.

  3. i looked at it and thought - "surely that's not a Longer Length Self Tip 50oz Royal Twill Printed Silk 9cm Tie from Drakes" and then realised that simon is on the money.

    i bow to his superior tie knowledge..

    benito paid nothing for the tie. he got it using a voucher from the daily telegraph.

    it was an expensive tie, but benito paid nothing for it.
