I love men’s ties, probably more than Marshall even though he has a huge box in his closet. I love the fun, conversational patterns and am always taking them home for him from the thrift store I always make the promise “if you don’t wear them, I will!” Well, there isn’t much room in business America for a lighthouse tie, so I don’t blame him. However, until now, I hadn’t found the perfect DIY, but now I’m sure I’ve struck gold. This is so easy, no sew and a perfect way to wear mens ties (finally!).
