  • The royal trinity hospice on northcote road had a few nice navy loose knitted ties for £10 each last weekend

  • The Drakes archive sales always have a huge table of ties and it's worth keeping an eye on TK Maxx for Ralph Lauren. I'm banned from buying ties because I never where them but still have a hanger full.

    Edit: And of course eBay, setting up search alerts for Hermes etc but be discerning.

  • Ebay all day long. So many people have ditched them there must be millions on there.

    Just filter by all the brands you'd expect - remember quite a few of the old school French fashion brands would have made nice stuff BITD, so include them too. Similarly burberry will have nice traditional ties as well as their really obvious branded stuff.

    Important things to double check are length and width. You don't want one that's way too long or short for your torso. Also some widths may look too old fashioned, or just not the right style. The taper is normal obvious from the picture.

    Oh and worth setting up a filter, then searching within that filter by colour. Otherwise you'll be there for weeks.
