I was just curious as to how many neckties the guys here have. I found I have around eighty after I organized mine a couple weeks ago. I had read that ties shouldn't be hung but rolled, who knew?
Oh, and what kind of knot do you use?

I have about 70 ties, includes some for the holidays. I still have one tie from 1985, got it as part of my uniform for the All-American College Marching Band - we were organized for President Reagans 2nd inauguration celebration.
I use a Double Windsor.

I have in the neighborhood of 60 to 70 although there's only about 15 that I alternate between. I use the Pratt/Shelby knot. Very similar to the Windsor but a lot easier to tie. Pratt/Shelby Knot

I'm due for another review and purge...probably 50 neckties and 10 or so bow ties.
As to which knot, it depends on the collar of my shirt, usually a four-in-hand.
I would have wagered you are a bowtie guy! Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Funny you bring this up-just went through mine the other day. About 25 survived the cut, but I tend to wear the same 10-12 over and over. I have a belt/tie hanger that hangs in the closet and rotates. I like the idea of rolling them up better-would be easier to see the whole selection-I would probably wear more of them. I just dont have the drawer space. I use a windsor knot.

It's actually a half-Windsor with the tie starting inside out. Interesting....

I would have more than 80, but my wife likes to throw away the uglier ones when I'm not looking. When I buy a tie it has a life-time contract.
I like the half-windsor knot but with some of the wider or thicker ties I use a four in hand.
Slick has given me about six ties or so. She tries to liven up my collection because I'm really big on fall colors and she thinks they are dull.

About 30, but I purge ties every year. I hang my ties.
I use four-in-hand.

Own about 30, but haven't worn one in years (not since the great strangling incident of 2002).

"i like them, but you some color!" - some type of cavewoman speak??

80 ties? Geez that's a lot of money to have tied up I only have 11, but in recent years I've worked in a business casual environment so I don't have to wear one every day. My favorites are J.Garcia. So Slick when are you going to send me some ties??
