Tough Tie

Men's ties have remained unchanged and terrible for far too long—nearly impossible to clean, easy to wrinkle, and if you happen to spill on them, game over. At Tough Apparel, we imagined what a better tie would look and feel like, and then we made it happen. Our modern men's ties are liquid repellent, so most spills will fall right off instead of soaking in. If something penetrates the liquid repellent barrier, just toss it into the washing machine—it's that simple. Glasses wearer? You'll love the microfiber tip, which is perfect for quickly wiping your lenses without worrying about scratches. At Tough Apparel, we create stylish accessories for the modern man.
