Western Tie Comebacks

Colonel Sanders Inspires a New Breed of Neckwear by Timo

If someone once told me that Colonel Sanders of KFC was to be at the head of a fashion movement, I probably would have respectfully disagreed (and silently think that they were a tad loco). It seems that Timo--a luxury fashion label--embraced Saunders’ old-school rockabilly style and created a line of western neckties.

These ties are shown on both female and male models for a hip unisex look that seems already to be at the forefront of fashion.  Feel free to put on some good ol’ southern music and hunker down with a bucket of chicken while browsing these old western style statements.
