This Poorly Executed Cravat Sets Off A Discount Store Musing at The Report, And We Are All Left Feeling A Little...Less

Brian Williams has another tie just like this, and I don't care for either of them. This version is plummy purple with skinny white stripes at wide intervals. The purple is pleasant enough, but the stripes are the problem. Too white, too skinny. They make the tie look cheap and poorly designed, reducing it to the level of not quite Dollar Store Tie, but certainly Wal*Mart Tie. It can only aspire to be a Target Tie. How sad is that?
