Even though we have a soft spot for bowties, that doesn’t mean standard neckties aren’t a bit part of our wardrobe, from printed silks, to madras, to wovens, we have them all and wear them frequently.  One pattern that will never go out of style is a simple stripe.  As long as the colors compliment the rest of your ensemble, a basic stripe is never going to be a bad choice.  The Drake Tie ($85) by Collared Greens is a perfect example of how such a simple design can look so good.

Collared Greens is a company with a cause.  With a mission to “redefine American fashion by combining forward thinking with timeless style,” they do their best to make their products right here in the US with as little impact on the environment as possible.  While not all of their products are made in the US, they make it clear which ones are not, just so there is no confusion.  The “Drake” is made in New York out of high quality imported silk  and available in 6 colorways.  With a simplicity that makes the tie virtually timeless and a well chosen color palette, the Drake is a tie that will be a great compliment to any wardrobe.  Like every tie that Collared Greens sells, the Drake in packaging made of 100% Post-Consumer recycled paper.
