This Old Thing Tie Trios by Ami Kealoha
From skirts to belts, the necktie has been reinterpreted in many ways over the years, but none quite as flamboyantly as This Old Thing's Tie Trios. Three vintage neckties sewn together make up the accessory, which we like best when worn wrapped twice jauntily around the neck as a kind of cravat-slash-scarf. The look is as dapper as it is over-the-top; call it urban Mad Hatter. Available from new Brooklyn shop Alter for $48 by calling +1 718 784 8818 or emailing alter [at] thisoldthing [dot] net.

An Interview with Ryan Sovereign
We've been taken with the Sovereign Beck range of ties for some time. The Brooklyn-based company create snappy, stylish ties that mix wickedly vibrant lines with quirky, illustrated shapes. We interviewed Ryan Sovereign—one half (with William Beck) of the duo behind the label. (See CH's egg-frying, kite-flying, jam session video to get to know them both a little better visually.) What makes a good...

This Old Thing Pleated Ties
Adding a bit of irreverence to the necktie, these ties by This Old Thing look like something Edward Scissorhands might wear. We found the goth accessory at the new Brooklyn boutique Alter, which was founded by the same fashion duo behind This Old Thing. Made from vintage ties, the asymmetrical staggered look comes from little more than a series of simple sewn pleats but...

Neon Shoes
Designed from pieces of hand-painted leather, these sexy men's-style dress shoes recently premiered at Neon's winter fashion show and bring action and color to any get-up. The Brazilian label's co-designer Dudu Bertholini has been collecting leftover painted cow skin—some of them rare—from his trips abroad to New York and throughout his home country, at last finding the best use for them. Because he only...
