Tie Clips
The average man that wears a tie has one tie clip if he’s lucky, none. It was given to him at some stage rather than selected. There’s a gap between what most men own and what the well dressed man needs. That’s where this Edit comes in. A tie clip is detail people notice but don’t know why. When it’s right the whole outfit just lands. When it’s missing you can feel like something’s not quite finished but nobody can put their finger on what.
This Edit has been put together with one man in mind. Generally speaking. The man who cares about what he wears but doesn’t do jewellery. The groom who wants one thing on the day that was actually considered. The dad or grandfather who still ties a Windsor every morning who’d get real use out of one of these. These are the times where a well selected clip just earns its keep. Not as decoration but as a detail that quietly signals somebody gave a shit.
The problem with buying a tie clip is that the category is either filled with very cheap things or very expensive things. With very little worth buying in the middle. We’ve worked our way through every tier of that spectrum and eliminated anything that felt flimsy, looked like it was mass produced overseas or was sold in a box that made you feel like it was an afterthought. Everything in this Edit has heft to it. Literally and metaphorically. The sort of thing that comes in a proper case and stays in your drawer a possession, not forgotten about in the bottom of your coat pocket.
Width is more important than most realise when shopping. You want the clip to rest around three quarters down the tie. Resting the tie against the placket of your shirt without digging in so much it pulls and ruins the fabric. We’d rather you knew that now than after you’ve bought it. A decent tie clip can go across most tie widths and won’t tarnish or age for years to come.
Gifts that feel considered because they’re not considered at all. Everyone knows a guy that’ll pick a watch. Takes a bit of know how to find the right tie clip and that’s what makes it count.
