The Man Tie is a new release from American company Goruck.
Known best for its military-grade bags, the company has been around since 2008. As the brand has grown in notoriety, it has also expanded its collections to include accessories and apparel such as belts, t-shirts, belt buckles, rock climbing buckles, hoodies, baseball caps and The Man Tie.
This is touted as "the first military-grade tie in history," which is a bit overkill when you really think about it. It's also ironic that a company that makes such practical, useful items as military bags would produce an accessory that actually has no function!
The Man Tie comes in black, sand and green camo, the ladder of which plays perfectly into the camo-heavy crazes of 2011-2012.
