This Old Thing Tie Trios by Ami Kealoha

ALTER_tie_2.jpg

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.

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...
Blue Gear Works Jewelry
While walking in Soho the other day, I came across a fabulous antique-chic jewelry stand helmed by New York based artist Blue Bayer. Blue uses found objects such as gears, clocks, lockets, spoons and evil eyes to create Victorian, steam punk-style jewelry in his Lower East Side studio/gallery/shop called Blue Gear Works. With each unique piece, he prides himself on exquisite craftsmanship using classic...
