Subtle Spaceship Accessories

The Star Wars Tie Fighter Silk Tie is a Chic Way to Show Sci-Fi Pride

— November 7, 2015 — Fashion
At first glance, the Star Wars Tie Fighter Silk Tie looks like a simple black tie with a grey pattern on it; it's only after closer inspection that you realize (or after being told) that the miniature gray spots are actually Tie Fighter spacecrafts from the science fiction franchise. Made from 100% silk, the Star Wars Tie Fighter Silk Tie is an officially licensed piece of memorabilia that will help to dress up your outfit with a bit of personality that'll only be detectable by other fans like yourself.

Handmade in Italy, the Star Wars Tie Fighter Silk Tie pairs perfectly with the many varieties of Star Wars cufflinks on the market to create a look that is nerdy only to those who recognize the imagery and chic to everyone else.
