Ensign: Getting yourself the Right Tie

Men’s ties are so powerful they can make a huge statement about the one who is wearing it. Bow ties that are out of place, for instance, can denote an unintentionally comic undertone, while oversized men’s ties can denote an oversized ego.

If, however, a man who makes sure to put on the best perfect silk tie in the right time and in the right place, will emanate a lasting impression of style sophistication that is worth the look and attention.

Here are some tips you can follow to make sure you are getting it right with men’s ties:

Length

First and foremost is the length. Most shop carry ties that are 55/56 inches. You will know that you have the correct length if the tie can reach the belt buckle, which is generally about 58 inches. Men who are taller though require a tie that is longer than the average length.

Texture

Aside from the length, the texture of a tie is very important. Make sure that the tie you will buy is made of high quality material like natural fibers, silk, cashmere or wool. Silk ties, however, do not go with some suit so make certain that the texture of your tie is in accordance with the texture of the suit you are wearing.

Pattern

Men also need to consider pattern when buying or wearing a tie. Make certain that the tie does not clash with your shirt’s pattern. Remember that the tie should complement and not compete with your overall clothing. For instance, if you want to go with a striped tie, do not make the mistake of wearing a similarly striped shirt or you would be considered as an optical illusion. Generally, men with angular faces are the ones who fit into striped ties, while men with face that are round look better in neat printed ties. In a formal setting, one should never consider wearing a novelty necktie.

Color

In general, blue formal ties look better in men. Blue neckties look good in blue or white shirts and blue or grey suits. When choosing the color of your tie, you also need to consider that the color of what you are wearing complement the color of your tie.

Handmade Ties

Because a handmade tie speaks of good quality, they tend to be expensive. Good handmade ties are expected to last for years and should always create a stylish aura for a formal suit. High quality handmade ties are created from several blocks of silk which gives the tie a more luxurious feel, allowing it to be attached securely.

How much does it cost to tie-dye 6 shirst?

I want to tie-dye 6 shirts with a friend, but I don't know how much it'll cost me. If I buy 6 white t-shirts and a tie-dye for 6 shirts (colors: turquoise, fuschia, yellow), about how much will it cost? Can you recommend any brand of tie-dye kits that has soda ash in it?

How much it will cost depends on the pricing policies of your local crafts store. Blick Art Materials sells the Jacquard Funky Groovy Tie Dye Kit, which will dye five or six shirts, for $10.80, while they sell the larger Jacquard Tie Dye Kit, which will dye 15 adult large t-shirts, for $13.64, but since they are mail-order you would have to tack on shipping charges. Prices vary according to where you go; some shops sell these exact same kits for as much as $11.95 and $19.95. Joann's fabrics sells the Tulip One Step Tie-Dye KIt and the Rainbow Rock Tie Dye Kit, which will each dye 2 to 8 shirts, for $9.99 per kit. These are all good kits, as are tie-dye kits made by Dylon, if you find any in your area.

An excellent mail-order source for dyes and a huge range of inexpensive dyeable clothing is Dharma Trading Company. Their Teeny Tiny Tie-Dye Kit costs $13.95 for enough materials to dye 6 t-shirts. They also have excellent prices on many different cotton t-shirts. You do not have to have a credit card to order from Dharma.

None of the tie-dye kits include the t-shirts in the price. Be sure to buy only 100% cotton t-shirts. 50% polyester shirts will be pale in color after dyeing. Watch out for claims of stain-resistance on the package, which is often a problem with underwear-style t-shirts, because stain-resistant shirts do not dye well.

Whatever you do, don't try to tie-dye with Rit dye, unless you are willing to boil the shirts in the dye for half an hour per color. To use Rit dye properly, you will have to ruin a good cooking pot since you can never use it for food again (textile dyes will contaminate food), and end up with dye that fades quickly and bleeds forever in the laundry. You are much better off with a good cool water tie-dye kit. The results last years longer, and you don't have to use hot or boiling water.
