Stripes Line Up On Patented Tie

Stripes Line Up On Patented Tie FARM HOME Clothes 33-6-32 How about this? A tie with stripes that line up. No matter how you tie a regular striped tie, the stripes in the knot go a different direction than the rest of the tie. For some reason, that bothered Eric Glennie, who designed and patented a new tie that lines up. "I took a plain white tie and tied a knot," Glennie says. "I used a marker to map out the stripes with the tie tied, untied the tie, and there was my prototype for the in-line necktie." "The tie comes in different sizes," Glennie says. "I have the stripes change direction at the 20-in. mark from the bottom of the tie for men below 6-ft. tall and at the 23-in. mark for men over 6-ft. tall." He sells his ties for $39.95 in a variety of styles and colors on his website. He's also interested in selling to retailers.
