The Father’s Day tie that doesn’t suck

Fact: 94.7% of father’s will get ties for Father’s Day and 90.23% of those dad’s won’t find those ties interesting. Everyone wants to get their dad something both useful and exciting and this tie from The Fine and Dandy Shop definitely fits the bill. The tie features double blades, meaning that there is no small end of the tie essentially making it a reversible tie. Find a mystery stain on your tie after dinner? No worries, just head to the bathroom and reverse the blades. The tie is 2.75 inches, making it fashionably slim but not fashion victim skinny. They currently have two options: the eagle crest above and a nautical crest in purple. At $54, it is by no means a back breaker (especially considering it’s made in NYC) and is a lot more work appropriate than that light up tie with palm trees that plays “Margaritaville”. Move fast, the last batch of double blades sold out quickly.
