Fantastic to see everything Who/Magnoli starting to click into place, and even better to see just how well they're all turning out, absolutely top-notch work Indy!
Neckties!

Well, the DW curse continues! I just received about 400 ties from the factory... most of them are not quite right! The new Swirly Ties came out darker than planned and look almost black in some lighting:
The new Giorgio Ties have that really cool two-tone blue/brown effect, but the blue seems much stronger than the brown, giving the overall look of the tie more of a blue/grey look than brown:
The grey Giorgio is a really great looking tie, just not brown enough to be a proper DW replica. I'll be offering both of the above through my site at a discounted price. Meanwhile, we'll be doing more runs of (hopefully) more brown versions of the above.
The Hechter Ties are back in stock and ready for shipping...
Kind regards,
Magnoli

Ah, disappointing news. But good for me! I quite like the look of that grey-ish Giorgio tie too, so I may be getting one.

Sorry bout the ties not turning out, although I quite like the look of the darker Swirly Tie..... and at a discounted price you say ?

I must admit, that for personal (non-cosplay) use. I actually prefer those ties, brown ties are often quite hard to incorporate into my wardrobe without it look overtly 70's.
I might just have to pick those ties up...
Also, just for fun, i decided to conduct a small coloyr-changing experiment.
I actually kinda like it, it could be good for a lining in a jacket.

Indy! The Ricci tie looks divine! You've done an outstanding job catering to the DW fans. Many thanks and looking forwards to seeing their release.
Here is a teaser of the Ricci Tie:
Wow! Can not wait for both finished versions of the brown ties to come out, especially the Lacroix. And this isn't a moan from me but i thought that one of the common complaints was that the burgundy sections were too vibrant? It doesn't bother me but from what i can see they are more vibrant if anything. Or is this just because they are from the dodgy batch of ties?
Also, is the colour gradient in the swirls as noticeable in person? I couldn't remember the original myself so i looked back at Steve Ricks blog and you've nailed the look, but can't help but think that the gradient isn't graduated enough? Again, this really isn't a complaint 'cos i love the ties that much anyway, it's just more of a curiosity really.

There may be one final tweak for the corrected Swirly Tie (again) but for the most part, the general look is what you can expect.

What about the Smith "I" bowties????
The Smith Bowties have begun production... shouldn't be much longer.
I'm hoping.

Here is a teaser of the Ricci Tie:
It's looking really good but I'd have to say the floral pattern is too light going by this:
Is that your final pattern for the tie?
Yep, that's the final pattern. Don't worry, the end result will look right.
The lines in the flowers of the original are certainly not solid. They have an old "wood cut" look to them. And, like a wood cut, when viewed from a distance, lines appear as half-tones.
