Debonair are a splendid, old-fashioned tie shop owned by Mr Mataar, an old Lebanese gentleman. I was introduced to it by one of my friends whose family have been customers for decades. Traditional English Polka dot ties in printed and woven silk are a speciality. Also always some woolen ties. A large selection of bow ties.

The quality is traditional English construction, handstitched centre seam and keepers. They tend towards a shorter (more traditional) length. Incredibly good value. Pay in cash or by cheque, no credit cards are accepted.

I absolutely adore the shop. It is always a great pleasure to talk to Mr Mataar. However, if you are looking for the most recent fashion, or the most luxurious shopfittings, or Italian sevenfolds you will be disappointed.

TVD;

Thank you very much for your comment.

I definitely visit their shop in order to buy some stuff in near future.
I believe their ties are made in England.

Hopefully they remain in the same as they have been.
