I hate ties. I mean it. I hate to wear anything that will in some way shape or form require me to tie a knot around my neck (although I must admit there are times when I considered it some form or another). Ties can seem like the portable noose for social occasions. At the same time I have to give them props for the consistent ability to make you look spiffy and cool at the same time. Unfortunately that doesn’t take away the stigma of the leash we’ve chosen to symbolize that attempt for the respectable occasion.

Before you raise your clenched fists to the heavens screaming “Why?!” in comes the good folks from Cyberoptix TieLab to make it all better. While they won’t change the occasion that will require a tie, they will at least give you a tie that will leave others thinking, “Damn, that’s an awesome tie that guy has on.”

Each tie is hand silkscreened with the highest quality water based inks. What does that mean? It means you’ll get a quality tie with a unique design on it to make the tie of your dreams.

A little about the folks behind em’: “Holding an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, New York area native Bethany Shorb has dabbled and excelled in disciplines ranging from sculpture, to fashion and graphic design, to photography, to multimedia and music. She has performed around the country as Toybreaker and as half of DethLab with fellow designer, Michael Doyle. As founder of Cyberoptix, she has designed a vast catalog of innovative couture, including the costumes for Skinny Puppy's 2004 world tour.”

Honestly and sincerely, these are the coolest ties I have ever come across. Affordable, expressive, and quality. What more can you ask for? Be sure to check out Cyberoptix TieLab by clicking the link below.
