About a Dude #27

This week, About A Dress is once again focused on men, and is also showcasing our brand new Two-Tone ties. This skirt came to us through Jennifer Jeremias’ vintage collection. The pattern is undeniably great (and it’s Pendleton wool!), but it hung on a rack for ages.

The shape-fitted through the hip, pleated from the lower thigh down, and calf length- wasn’t doing anybody any favors. So we reappropriated the fabric!

I’ve been wanting to make a tie where the knot is a different color than the tie, and after some experimenting with length and proportion, this is the result! The bright pink plaid is saved from J Crew status by adding the salvage black fabric.

Buy the tie here!
