Collections from Brooks Brothers, J. Press, and Vineyard Vines
Given the multitude of ties available, it can be comforting to narrow down the options to just a few sources of slip stitched, properly lined, pure silk neckwear.
- The most old school purveyer of neckwear stateside is J.Press. Originating in New Haven, with other stores in Cambridge, New York and Washington, D.C., and serving the Ivy League, they offer the correct pure silk neckwear. Regimental; Emblematic; Foulard; Polka dots; Madras and of course, their famous Bowties.
- No one does the motif ties better than Vineyard Vines. Offered in fabulous colors and overly represented in Presidential elections.
- Brooks Brothers has perhaps the largest collection, just stick to the Repp ties to be safe.
- And if one wishes to reach across the pond to procure their neckware, London based Smart Turnout has an ambitious collection of Military, Old School, UK University, US University, and US Military ties.

Muffy,
As a fan of motif ties, I respectfully take issue with your choice of Vineyard Vines ties. I find their designs: 1)over-priced, 2) tedious, 3)too busy, and 4)their fabric colors are so boring.
I'd much rather buy my ties from Eric Holch, whose designs, I venture to say, are widely imitated but never duplicated. I never fail to get a compliment when wearing one of Eric's ties.
