Fashion Against the Grain
Spread the word: wooden fashion accessories aren't just for lumberjacks anymore! This accessory is just right for the man with a unique personal style and a quirky sense of humor, who likes to keep things interesting, even when he dresses up. Suffice to say, this is knot your average necktie.
These bold ties are made from redwood beams, reclaimed from salvage yards in the San Francisco area. Once part of a barn or warehouse, planks are cut, sanded and varnished, leaving the wood's natural grain and coloring on display in a charming plain or vertical, striped pattern. Individual panels are connected with a hidden elastic cord, which slips easily around the shirt collar for a comfortable fit. Handmade in San Francisco.

We can't wait to see what you have to say about this uncommon reclaimed wood tie! We think it could make a great gift for a tie collector, that guys who's always looking for the perfect fun fashion accessory, or that hard-to-buy-for person with a great sense of humor. Who could you see wearing this redwood tie?

This is hilarious and is on it's way to being trendy! Plus it's made in San Francisco-what's not to love? Can kids wear them too?

This wooden wonder will widen your wardrobe, but it might be a bit big on a wee one. The tie is 22 inches long and 3 inches wide, so it's best for adults.

I actually wore one of these to a wedding, and it was AWESOME! The groom even asked to get one. Seriously, these are lots of fun, and perfectly appropriate for a fancy occasion. So don't be thinking 'I couldn't wear that to work, though...'

Seems really fun. If you have to wear a tie to something might as well have fun. More colors would be good too.

This is wonderful. My husband has ties and more ties. He is very conventional and conservative, but I think he could be persuaded to wear it occasionally...especially if the kids give it to him... ;)

Nifty idea but unless the person whom this is for works someplace where the dress code is a bit more forgiving, I don't see this having much use.
