Closed: ABC Necktie Review & Giveaway





My husband works in a corporate enviroment. Although he does not have to wear a tie everyday, the occasion does arise and he likes to have an excellent selection of ties to choose from.He is very much like my title of my blog, Expensive Taste, Modest Means.is always drawn to this professional menswear store that sells ties for a pretty penny.  He sure looks handsome in their apparel, but after I have a look at the receipt, the word stupid comes to mind.  Seriously - $50 bucks for a single tie?!?  I rarely spend that on one shirt, and that covers my entire back!


With ABC Neckties, looking good is now affordable too.  Prices start at around $15.00, (some even lower), and there are neckties in every fabric, style, theme - you name it.  There is an entire category dedicated to novelty versions, too. 


It took him quite a long time to decide with the vast selection offered at ABC, but my husband settled on the Mitchell Fashion Silk Tie.  It is just as gorgeous as his $50 ties, but costs a mere $20.36.  Pretty impressive, considering the fact that it's hand made and 100% silk!

I'm very impressed with the product we received.  So often with lower-priced items you get a less-than-perfect product, but not in this case.  There's no reason to shop at the $50-a-tie store again.  We will definitely be shopping with ABC Neckties in the future. 

Want to buy your own? At ABC Neckties, you can be assures that you will have worry free shopping and they offer a 100% money back guarantee if not delighted. They also offer free shipping!



Want to win one? 
The folks at ABC Neckties have generously offered to provide one of my winners with a $25 gift certificate!

I love the novelty ties but my husband would never wear one of those. He would like the "Coleman Fashion Silk Tie".

I would probably get this as one of the ties for my husband: Brookside Striped Skinny Tie. He doesn't like anything too flashy but I think he would like a lot of the ties on there.
