Recently, I went on a quest to acquire the patchwork tweed necktie I saw on the Rugby website. However, the tie was only displayed and not offered for Internet sale. In part, that is why I accepted my friends invitation to visit the Rugby Cafe, but to no avail, I didn't find the tie in the D.C. store.
With determination in mind, I called all Rugby stores until I finally located the tie at the San Francisco store. It arrived yesterday.......thoughts?

Quality, make sure you have just the right button down for it, and you'll look bolly.
Points on persevering, but your other ties are better.
Hideous
Face it, Richard....no one is really going to believe you until you answer these questions that you keep dodging.
1. No private planes/jets allowed at DCA/Reagan, so where did you land?
2. How did you get to Georgetown from the airport? Considering the airport in which you had to land is at least 30 miles away there are no cabs or rental cars, nor are there private limos. Not to mention the horrific Sunday traffic into the city.
Nice but a lot of people outside our fashion niche might not appreciate or even understand it.
Call Ralph Lauren directly with your request. As a very astute businessman his did not achieve his significant success by ignoring customer input, feedback or requests to purchase his products.
I kid you not. You likely will be surprised pleasantly by the results.
Hideous. Return it. Seriously.
Why didn't you just fly to SF to get it? Or do you only fly when there's a Rugby Cafe involved?
Reminds me of ties from Polo RL back in the 80's. Of course those ties were much better made. Its the perfect Fall tie for a casual day out. Enjoy it
Not all that attractive, really. I like tweed, but there is something a bit ragged about the tie.
I think the picture really doesn't do the tie justice, since patch pants of thst material are to die for! It will probably work out great.
Would not wear it to a cockfight...
Stop punking us Richard. This is clearly an atrociously ugly tie as anyone can see. Obviously you are trolling us, as nobody would actually like this except for ironic asshat hipsters.
A bit much...the concept is cool but when I see it I'm not smitten.
Main Line - So, you would wear it then!
Why not kick Main Line Sportsman's ass in chess?
Awful tie- Much of Rugby's offerings seem to be things to buy for people who think they should look or dress a certain way and just don't get it. It's like wearing Mr. Lauren's crest on a blazer- good old club look but on inspection, tragic.
Richard you are a good guy and have created a fun site. I don't buy the plane trip either. I own an airplane, have several friends who own an airplane, and with the current cost of jet fuel or 100LL cannot imagine anyone firing up to fly to a "favorite" resturant Rugby Cafe. French Laundry or The Forge, possibly, but not Rugby.
I am willing to pass this off as good sport and for purpose creative license. Still, if you want to prove air Richard exists, I'd suggest you post the N Number (digits on the tail that start with N unless an international registry) and we can track the flight.
Keep up the good work but let the flying stories end someplace more realistic.
The tie is really quite bad. Regarding alleged flaws in recounting the airplane ride -- who cares? It's a good story. Maybe some people need to lighten up a little bit?
I must agree...the flying into DC for lunch at the Rugby Cafe... does not sound right.
Yeah, Rick. Come clean on your fibbin' ways. It's an insult to your readership.
I must say, ol' chum, I'm not in love with it. But I suppose it would look good around the neck of a 6' naked Russian hottie.
Richard, I hope you're getting as much fun as I am from these anguished "Anonymous" commenters. Some of them are verging on becoming stalkers...
you know what? i live in dc, i don't believe the flying into dc crap for all the reasons stated by others (logistics, etc)...but, at this point, so what? lets move on. it's richard's blog and that's that/it is what it is.
8:20 Unanimous/Anonymous is right. The Georgetown flight story was so half-cocked that asking the reader to go along with it is degrading.
Claim it was an allegory or amalgam of some sort.
Made in China no doubt.
It's made in Italy.
Patch work ties...Pass! What bulky tie to tie! The knot must be huge!
