American Craftsman: Alexander Olch
Joe and I were traveling in New York this past week, and I commented about how he always likes to wear this particular navy tie, and asked why that is? The tie is a nice Bright navy聽聽jacquard, with small golden yellow flowers. His response of course is that he likes it best, and that you really don鈥檛 need many ties, as long as you have the right one. So in the search of the 鈥渞ight one鈥 I鈥檓 writing this morning about a wonderful American Tie Maker: Mr Alexander Olch. Mr. Olch is based on island of Manhattan, making ties which are unique because of their old world craftsmanship, yet relatable: if you鈥檙e lucky, your father passed down a couple ties like these, to you.
Signature styles include traditional Handmade Seersuckers, and the perfect Gingham bow tie, for the summer.

As for finding the 鈥渞ight tie鈥 I think this is it. (very similar I must say to Joe鈥檚 tie this weekend) The 鈥淪uperfine English Repp Silk鈥 jacquard聽ties, are traditional yet charming, and can go with any suit and with any shirt. Simple.
