A Silk Old Boy’s Tie

About a year ago I got an email from a London old boy. Nicholas (Hill) explained that he was not a small fellow and that his old boy’s tie, worn every Friday, drew some inappropriate attention. It has to be said that while fashions have moved on the cut of the old boy’s tie is somewhat out of date.

He jumped into action and within weeks had managed to get a sample of a new silk tie out to South Africa for approval. The Association agreed and soon took delivery of the very first batch of old boy’s ties made of silk.

Thanks go to Nicholas for doing all the work and ensuring that we can continue wearing our ties with pride, particularly in parts of the world wear ties are still in fashion. So – for the first time ever you can order a silk tie. Please email us for more information.
