How about sprucing up men's neckwear. A combination Bolero with fabric.Men's wear hasn't changed much in 50 years. They could use a little panache.

Ha Ha! Obviously you aren't old enough to remember Leisure Suits, or Nehru Jackets. They came and went! Bolleros are worn with western wear, but I don't think it would go over big for business suits!

Loghomeliving, How true.So I think I'll just take Hubbie's ties and make a quilt out of them.
I'm going to do it with crown royal bags. If I can get out of my slump.

Ties do have a way of becoming boring. Some things seem to never change. But, if you are looking for a tie that is anything BUT boring...here you go. Check this out.
It is a designer tie that ROCKS. If you have a husband or male on your gift list, this is sure to please.

but many of us're happy the way things're now - blue, camel hair, herringbone jackets, khaki & wool trousers, button-down collar oxford cloth shirts, & regimental stripe ties - its like uniform,,, wimmins wouldn't know this stuff

btw, when did nehru jkts go out of style ?

If you watch ESPN and news commentators, you will see that they have returned to pin stripes and big ties and lapels. Everything old becomes new again.

dammit, just when i used up all my narrow ties on the tomato plants

Now you know why crossdressing is gaining popularity! Mens stuff is so BORING!!!

Just kidding, I would be ugly enough in a dress to make a freight train take a dirt road.

I had leisure suits and Nehru jackets (which looked really cool), a collection of dickies to be worn with pullover shirts, medallions on chains, and wore three rings.(NO piercings)

Neckties are boring IMHO so I look for really bizarre ones for my dad since he wears them a LOT!

I found him one that had a single suspender printed on it as the pattern. You tucked it in the pants and just went around as normal.(try to visualize)

I think someone should make a easily removable necktie covered in simulated stains and dribblings so a guy can eat a meal the way he wants and forget about manners and couth. Then after eating just take it off until the next meal.

Looks better than tucking a napkin in at the collar.

IMHO, just because they are 'new' again, does not make them look any better==ha!!!!!!!!!!!
