Fit to be tied

The tie I got to wear to the Derby next month has met with approval. Matter of fact, at least two other folk are now ordering the same one in other colors. So here's what I'll be wearing in KY:

The tie


It's nice to have a horse-y tie in my wardrobe again. The last one I had was worn so often that it had to be retired. When it comes to ties, I have an even worse time buying them than I do other clothes. I confess to having very limited fashion sense in general and when shopping for ties, I end up in a situation where I don't really know what I'm looking for, but I'll know it if I see it. Being fond of horses and photography, I knew of Muybridge's work. The avatar on this post is from one of his series. When I saw the ties made from his well-known horse photos, I knew that was what I was looking for.
