NekPeace Presents: The SRREAL

Available TOMORROW!!! 10/01/10

Most would see a double headed person as bizarre/ uncanny/ grotesque/ surreal. Thus, a double pointed tie would share the same sentiments. We've taken this surreal concept and dropped the "U;" hoping that you will add your own surrealism. (Eyelet accents, denim/cotton, dye & stitching. Inspired by SRREALL the t-shirt brand)

The Necktie “Dimple”

Necktie aficionados go to great length to create the perfect necktie knot; the "cherry on top" of the perfect tie knot is the “dimple”. The dimple is a purposely created crease on top of the knot. It adds a more textured look to the tie and gives the necktie a perfect drape. The dimple is created in the final steps when tying a tie. To make a dimpled tie knot, carefully fold a crease at the center of the tie. Make sure that the crease goes all the way through, and even onto the back of the tie knot. Then, carefully tighten the tie knot while holding the crease in place. Creating a dimpled necktie knot takes a little bit of practice, but once mastered, adds the ultimate touch of sophistication to any men's suit & tie ensemble.

The Windsor Knot

The Windsor knot is sometimes also called “Full Windsor” or “Double Windsor”. It is the most searched necktie knot on the Internet today, and any regular tie wearer should know it. However, out of all the tie knots described it is the one that will require the most practice and for most men is the knot they should use only on occasion (unless you only own wide spread collars!). The Windsor knot has a larger triangular symmetric shape. It is the perfect knot for wide spread collars, for modern striped and foulard patterned ties, as well as for men with a large neck. Because the Windsor knot requires two wrappings, additional tie length is needed. Therefore, tall men and men with a larger neck size will need a longer length tie. Extra long ties that typically measure 61 – 64 inches in length are needed here.

The Half-Windsor

The half Windsor is the smaller version of the Windsor -sometimes also called double Windsor knot. The half Windsor has a more triangular shape than the Four in Hand knot. It is a perfect choice knot for medium-width spread collars and thick designer ties.. Because the half Windsor requires less of the tie’s length than the larger Windsor knot, it is also a great choice for big & tall men trying to wear a regular length tie. Of the four main knots, the half Windsor is the most versatile yet underutilized knot. You would do well to learn to tie this tie knot.

The Four in Hand Knot

The Four in Hand knot is one of the oldest tie knots that originated in England towards the end of the 19th century. It is said that British horsemen invented this type of knot when they were tying their scarves with one hand while holding the reigns of four horses in the other – hence the name “Four in Hand”. The Four in Hand knot is one of the easiest tie knots to learn. The knot has a smaller, slightly longish shape that is perfect for narrow spread collars as well as for button down collar dress shirts.The classic look of this knot is perfect for British striped, and Regimental ties. Since the Four in Hand requires less of the tie’s length, it is also a great choice knot for tall men trying to tie a regular length tie to the right length – so that the tip of the tie ends near the center of the belt buckle.

NekPeace Presents: The Militia



Epaulets are typically found on military suit jackets, coats, & shirts. Hence the name "Militia" meaning: a military force that is not apart of a regular army & is subject to call for service during an emergency. This is your call to action for PEACE. "Let him who desires peace prepare for war."- Flavius Vegetius Renatus (Inspired by epaulet accents; cotton/poly blend)

How to Choose the Best Collar Style

Shirt collars are just as important as the style of knot you decide to wear. Certain knots tend to go better with certain collar styles. In order to make this connection...let us look at the various styles of collars. Now, keep in mind that collar styles and looks will vary depending on the shape of your face. So, here is a guide on how to choose from www.bestcustomshirt.com. Enjoy! 


How to Choose the Best Collar Styles for Your Face Shape
Many men use traditional point collar and button-down collar dress shirts as their wardrobe staple. It is understandable because in most cases they are all you can find in your local department store. The problem is that these collar styles may not be the best choice for you. Here is a simple guide to help you decide which collar style looks best on you.
Round Face

You have full cheeks with a rounded jaw line. Narrow point collars help to thin and elongate a round face. The best collar styles for you have straight points with a traditional or narrow spread. Stick to a traditional point for versatility, button down and hidden button down for a sportier look, narrow point for a fashion look and tab collar for a formal, dressy look.



Best Collars

Tab Collar

Avoid spread collars; they make your face appear wider and fuller.
Worst Collars

Square Face




You have a square jaw line, which gives your face a broad, square, angular appearance. Square faces look best wearing traditional point collar shirts for versatility, narrow point collars for a fashion look, button down and hidden button down for a sporty look and tab collar shirts for a formal look.
