Pic-Nicked
The "Pic-Nicked" tie bar stands out on it's own, but will complement a wide range of our knit ties and socks- especially our "Pic-Nicked" Pima socks, and our "Fire Ant" silk knit tie!
New to tie bars? We were too! Here's how things play out: You clip one of these things onto your tie (ideally one of our retro silk knits, but we're pretty biased there...), and walk around for the first hour conscious of this new bit of bling. You catch yourself in the mirror and think "Ha! I'm so sharp it hurts!" Then walk around for the next few with a smile because you're pretty darn awesome. At some point you realize no one is pointing and calling you a dirty hipster, and instead are pointing to you as their new fashion guru. You clip one on next time, and the next. Congratulations! You've become a (Soxfords) tie bar addict! There are worse things in life.
Feed the addiction!
Taking design notes from our socks, these hard-fired enamel tie bars help you to grow up, not old!
Construction:
Annealed tie bar with hard-fired enameled ants and raised metal accents. Tie bars measure just over 1.6" wide (perfect for most skinny style ties, but not too narrow for more traditional looks), and just over 0.25" wide. The charms themselves are just under 0.75" on the longest side - just large enough to show detail, without being overwhelming.
These tie bars are crafted to the highest standard. We are incredibly proud at how these have turned out - and hope they will be proudly displayed!
About Our Socks
Sizing
Unless indicated otherwise, our socks are one size fits most, comfortably accommodating US men’s shoe sizes 8-13, women’s 10+.
Fit
Most of our socks are cut in the familiar “mid-calf” style. Not too high, not too low - perfect for the home, or office!
Some of our socks are "over the calf", and wear above the calf for a dressier look. These styles will be clearly noted as such.
Materials
Our socks are crafted from a fine mix of 65% premium Peruvian Pima cotton, 33% Nylon, and 3% Spandex. Some pairs will have moderate-weight mix of 80% premium Peruvian Pima cotton, 17% Nylon, and 3% Spandex.
Regardless of the mix, all of our socks can dress up or down, and be comfortably worn year-round!
Country of Origin
Designed in-house right here in New York, and crafted to the highest quality possible in Colombia, these are socks to be proud of. We know we are!
What makes these socks special?
Our socks are designed in-house here in New York, and knit in Colombia from ethically-sourced soft Peruvian Pima cotton. We use a double-woven yarn (where two fine yarns are spun into a single, stronger yarn for a better balanced fit and feel), add a "no slouch" cuff with added stretch, and reinforce the toe and heel for long-lasting comfort. Our finely-stitched patterns are designed to take advantage of sophisticated ultra-high 200 needle-count knitting machines for a clean, crisp look. Finally, exclusive embroidery adds that extra "pop" around the ankle. These are socks folks are proud to show off, all day long!
Depending on the style, some pairs are made in a moderate weight. Either way, all of our socks feature 2-ply Peruvian Pima yarn and wear well year-round - so shop by the designs you enjoy!
