Sorry, I'm not doing any other sizes or custom sizes for the time being. But I am working on making a MTM service. Hopefully it'll be ready in six months.

I don't make a 16, but do have 16.5 and 15.75. The linen/cotton are available in those sizes. I might do a solid pale blue for this upcoming spring/summer.

They are very nice, thick and plush. I wish I had more of them.

I have one too. I love it, but I have to be extremely careful with it...I unfortunately got mine caught in the velcro of my book bag and it kinda jacked up the threads. I was, however, able to restore it with some gentle massaging of that portion of the tie.

Thanks, glad to hear it. You can expect an order from me soon, Kent.

It is true. Unfortunately, there are no iGent-approved bags (that I'm aware of) which can adequately carry two large casebooks, a binder, several smaller books, and assorted other personal effects, I'm all ears.

I'd love a red gingham if possible.

I just made my first purchase from Kent, and it should be no surprise that I'm very pleased. Not only were the PS and links very nice, but Kent's customer service is top-notch.

Thanks, Kent!

yes very nice grenadine ties...I now have one in navy and one burgundy. Just be aware (as mentioned above) that they make thicker FIH knots.

This reminded me to check if the MOP cufflinks were in stock. They were, so I placed an order for a couple.
I'm looking forward to when they arrive. If they turn out good, I plan to search for more items to buy through the Web site.

Yeah, was asking about the other three (specifically the red style).
