The Danish financial newspaper Børsen bring this story today. It features 2-3 Michael Alden quotes and photos of Sam Hober and Rubinacci ties. It quotes The Suit as well.

The article looks interesting, Gruto, but on my monitor is illegible (not that many of us could read Danish easily, but I'd give it a good try). Might there be a link to the artcle online, or could you enlarge the picture of the text?

Unfortunately, the story in the restricted area of www.borsen.dk. But I'll try to make a better upload.

RWS, this is best I can do. I hope it works. Some of the quotes you will know from LL threads. If you know Dutch or German you will able to read a good deal of it, I think. If you know Swedish or Norwegian, you will probably be able to read all of it ...

I managed to read 'mona lisa' at the bottom and I remembered where Alden had said something about that:

Also, you don't need to know any Germanic language to tell which of Wilde's numerous witty insights you are quoting: a well-tied tie is the first serious step in life. By the way (maybe irrelevant), I have learned to tie a windsor knot properly today, and I have worn it for lunch (under a suit).
