Re: Untipped vs. self-tipped -Which type of tie do you prefer?

I prefer untipped, for what it’s worth. Maybe I’m susceptible to the Pitti juggernaut.

Re: Visit to Ireland

Dingle in Co Kerry is a magical place.
Cork for gastronomic enjoyment.
In the North I would always recommend a visit to Bushmills Inn.

Re: Cheaney RTW Shoes

Thanks Berwick, I’ll give them a look. I’m a died-in-the-wool Edward Green man, but have some very nice Cheaney oxfords which cost a fraction of the EG equivalent.
