About The Necktie
Few gifts carry as much ceremony as a necktie. There is the careful fold of tissue in the box, the slow pull of the ribbon, and then that moment when Dad shakes it open and holds it against his shirt to check the colors. Whether it calls for a formal full knot or a casual four-in-hand, a well-chosen tie has a way of making an ordinary Sunday feel like a proper occasion.
