Still Alive

Was it Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) that had said that "The
reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"?

Same here :-). But I am working myself to the bone and spare time has been few and far between.

To prove I am alive and well... Here is a Hickey Freeman suit from the kids like, with a twill hickey freeman shirt and Vines Tie. Very elegant tie I think and brightens up the shirt (which I intentionally chose dark due to the tie)



Later in the week, new ties arriving! Dont give up on me just yet!

Blue or Black, whats your poison?

Blue or Black with that green tie from yesterday? Which do you prefer? They both work :-)

And if you cant tell which is blue and which is black...The Red Square is a navy suit, The green is black.









Finally, the darker green with the black for a more elegant look.

Better with Black

I mentioned that things would be hectic and posts would be sporadic and so it is. Sorry for that but its just a for a few weeks more.

Here is a shot that I had taken a few weeks ago. Off white and white will work with most anything but of course some colors work better with others. In this case I have in mind that a darker suit, navy or black or even a bright white suit would work better with this color green tie.  Perhaps I will get a picture sometime tomorrow when I am in the store.

But it certainly works this way as well.

Here is the square detail.  Note the green in the square that pulls it together with the tie.

A Belated 4th of July

Greetings to all FTWU readers.   Its good to be back home but the perfect storm in the retail industry which is what happens when the buying, and selling season as well as many changes in our business is upon us.

Here are some shots that will pretty much cap off the Summer season for me (unless requests are made) that I took and intended on posting from abroad, but you know the saying "the best laid plans of mice and men" and as it turned out, despite the wireless connectivity in the room, I was unable to get FTP access and therefore was unable to upload photos from there.

Not quite the red white and blue that we all know but the tones are there and while the first two ties are red, I prefer the boldness of the first one.  The green square in the first two ensembles is laced with red and adds more color to the outfit.
