I just saw Bill shot of the ties from the 90ties and loved this shot so much, that I would like to know about ties hidden in other members lockers...smile.. Starting with the ties my husband used to have in the end of the nineties when doing computer support. He loved to put on those with cartoons from Uli Stein. I put a translation to English in the shot where needed...smile

 Excellent idea. Bravissimo. 

Ulla...what a great idea. This thread is going to be fun to watch develope. Love what you've done with your husband's colorful ties. My ties, http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2003992&comment_page=1#comments"  were all forgotten and hiding under newer more traditional ties on my tie rack.

I never had a tie in my life...

(can't stand them; my neck is too thick ;o))

hmm Geert...grin... never had one too... might be my neck is too thick too...lol...or might be, cause I wouldn't know how to do a knot properly with them...lol

Maybe those with no ties of their own...could check out relatives and friends the next time they meet?

Hihi oh that would be fun, Bill, and I would really like to know and see the wonder in the faces of the relatives, while you try to explain, why aou are looking through their ties...smile

LOL !  Ulla, what a fine idea
You are already giving it a wonderful start here
I would like to see many interesting ties.
Unfortunately my Hubby has only  the BORING kind of ties

Okay, I had to jump in here, because I love ties!  AND... they are not just for men!

I use to work at a Van Heusen Store that sells men's dress shirts and business ties.  We were encouraged to wear ties to show them off, so I would always pick up the ones I liked when they were on the "clearance" rack for a couple of dollars.  Before you know it, I had quite a collection!
Sorry to say that some of my favorite ones are no longer in my possession, since my son got a job at a bank and needs to wear a tie, he took a few of the animal ties I had.  One was a very colorful parrot tie and another has a wolf on it  (my personal favorite).  Gee, I don't know why he didn't want any of the floral ones????  LOL :P  I don't wear them anymore, but they are pretty to look at!

Oh yeah, the floral ties are cotton and the other two are silk.

Kim, great looking ties. I rather shot my silver bullet with my gallery upload 2-3 weeks ago but I think it is great that you have a love for colorful ties too. Can you imagine your son wearing the pink floral in the bank? lol. Silk ties feel especially great don't they!

Kim, They are beautiful, very beautiful and some day you can visit your son with the camera and take shots of his ties  HAHAHA.

very nice variety, Kim, and would like to know, what die bankers did say to the parrots tie...grin

Ulla, since we live in snow country, anything tropical is worn in hopes of warmer weather! Several restaurants in town have Hawaiian shirt day, where all the waiter and waitresses wear tropical shirts and customers that come in wearing something tropical get a 10% discount!  So needless to say,  the tropical tie went over big at the bank.

Bill,  like a lot of men, my son hates wearing a tie, but he has to.  He would much rather be in a t-shirt. So the thought of wearing a tie that would bring any attention to himself..... especially floral, that could start any form of  harassment......  ain't gonna happen! LOL :P
