The new GQ dropped today. The Penny-Pincher’s Guide to Better Style has some nice tips and a list of garb that you can snag for cheap. So in the sprit of saving a few dollars, here’s a striped tie that’s solid alpaca. And for £25 ($38.13), I think it’s a deal.

This tie’s materials are all sourced local to the UK and spun by John Arbon’s Coldharbour Mill. While browsing around the mill’s website, I ran across a few solid versions of the tie above that also look mighty fine. The simple contrasting edge that sits at the bottom of these solid colored ties looks reminds me of The Hill-Side ties—but these are made of alpaca. 

After you buy all of these, you might realize that you don’t own an alpaca bow tie. Well, Olch has you covered.
