All modesty aside . . .
I don't wear suits very often these days, but I used to, and have flipped back and forth between casual and formal office settings several times. Last night I pulled out all of my neckties to plan a certain outfit and was reminded that . . . I have a shockingly large number of just lovely neckties. For years, the selection of neckties was my main aesthetic outlet, so the state of affairs is not surprising since I am an aesthetic savant. Still, I'd half forgotten that before most of the other aesthetic outlets—photography, lapidary blog entries, taxidermy, overpass vandalism and whatever else you'd give me credit for—there were the neckties. The pretty, pretty neckties.
MWR's favorite make of necktie: Tino Cosma.

"shockingly large number"...perhaps to people who have never met you!
Haven't been around many great neckties lately, just the racks and racks at second-hand stores. Not the aesthetic experience you describe, but a clear reminder that we have no idea how many millions of these sartorial gems exist. It's mind boggling to say the least!
