Flower Power

Here's a tie that would fit right in at The Party, Blake Edwards' classic screwball comedy starring Peter Sellers. It is definitely of that era, in the Carnaby Street "bellywarmer" style (though at 4.5" wide it's about an inch short of a true bellywarmer). Birdie num-num?

Well, we had a few weeks of spring weather, and now it is officially a Washington summer, with temperatures and relative humidity in the 90s. That's challenging weather for wearing ties, I tell you what. But wearing ties is what I do best, so I will persevere.
