I was in Nordstrom's in W. Hartford, Conn. today and took a gander at the Talbotts. They were...startling.
There's another P.G. Wodehouse quote where Jeeves catches Bertie trying to sneak out in a mauve cummerbund or something and asks "Are you proposing to appear in public wearing that garment?"
I just received a bunch of RT ties from a recently retired friend that cover a time frame of at least 25 years, and there's nothing like the items I saw today.
In a word - loud, and with no socially redeeming features I could discern.
Am I being hidebound and conservative here?

``What do ties matter, Jeeves, at a time like this? Do you realise that Mr Little's domestic happiness is hanging in the scale?''
``There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.''
