I’m wearing a Church’s (the English shoe company) tie today. I thrifted it a couple of weeks ago for $2. It’s made in Italy, and has a manufacturing/care label very similar to some I’ve seen on Zegna ties—perhaps they came from the same manufacturer. Church’s no longer, as far as I can tell, sells ties under its label, but I’m very happy with this one. It’s very Spring-ey.
