Have you ever owned a tie where you liked the pattern so much you decided to get the same exact one but in a different color? Or do you prefer to not have multiple ties with the same design? If yes, feel free to share yours. Here's mine.

Do you own multiple ties with same design but different color?

I think I've got a few, but the ones that come to mind are a pair of beautiful silk ties woven in a subtle tartan like plaid from Paul Stuart. It was one of their signature ties for many years, and I purchased versions in both wine and olive as the dominant ground color. Must be between 25 and 30 years old now.

I have three herringbone ties from the same model at BB in different colors. I have a few wool Donegal ties in different colors from Isaiah, and I have 4 Chipp grenadines in different colors also. I think most of the rest are unique to my collection and within the same 4-5 manufacturers.

Oh yea, several herringbone wools, several silk pin-dot ties and several silk foulards that are the same except for color variation. I have very little opportunity to wear ties today 
(as, even on Wall Street where I work, many firms are so casual they discourage ties), but when I did, if I found a pattern and material that I liked (and that knotted nicely), I'd think nothing of getting it in several color patterns.

Yes. I have four grenafaux ties (light blue, navy, red and silver) from The Tie Bar.

This is but one of the reasons my closet is as overfilled as it is. When I find something I really, really like, I almost always buy multiples...hence "the hoard!" This wasn't a serious problem until about four years ago when the wife and I downsized our nesting arrangements, losing our individual closets and being forced to share a single walk-in closet. LOL.

How dreadful!
Just recalled I have a Fairisle knit tie in 3 colorways; wine, olive and navy. Love 'em like Smeagol loves his ring!

I have multiple paisley ties in differing colors. Those seem the easiest to match to a shirt and trousers of opposing colors.

Yes. Particularly when the purveyor offers a discount when purchasing multiples...

I have a good number of rep stripes in different colors, about 5-7 challis in the same pattern but different colors and a good many solids in a variety of colors. I inherited a trait from my father. My mother once told me that "he'd rather buy a tie than eat when he was hungry!'
It could be done for a purpose antithetical to the majority approach on this board.
Everyone here seems to love clothes and creating great looking ensembles from pieces that may work well together because of elements in the respective pieces. Doing the latter requires an eye for it or experience.
I could see it from someone who also has an interest in clothes but lacks an eye and experience, is starting out and wishes to make a minimal financial investment while maximizing the number ensembles without risking an error of pattern or scale.
A maxizing combinations while minimizing expenditures approach, could involve five solid ties. I think in darker shades so the ties are always darker than the suits. A navy, a grey, a wine, a green, and a brown. Those could go with blue, grey, or brown suits of any pattern and with solid or striped shirts without there being g a pattern or scale problem involving the tie.
There might be a mistake of dullness, but there wouldn't be a mistake of pattern.
Maybe the same 5 hues in pindot, white small dots about an inch or two apart, foulards, or emblematic if the latter two avoid third colors that don't go well with the three suit colors and shirt colors chosen for the wearer' s complexion.
To be really flamboyant within the category of very conservative, the five ties could be one of the five colors in one of the solid or four patterns so that neither color nor pattern were repeated in the five ties. But that approach woukd differ from this thread's topic.

I said, no, and I wouldn't, but I didn't think about grenadines, of which several solids of different colors are entirely reasonable, although I currently only own one. There are just two many beautiful ties out there for me to need more than one in a single pattern.

I prefer blue shades of tie - dark blue, light blue, paisley etc. from different brands. I find blue ties with light blue or white shirt to be a good fit for my skin color.
