My acquaintances with the brand started some 8 months ago, on one of my many visit to Garden City I stumbled upon one small stall at the Suntec City Mall who sell ties, cuff link, and tie set. More interested on the bargain (S$30 for 3) than on the design, I found my self spent the next 20 minutes browsing on the array of ties and cufflink. I finally settled on one solid dark maroon in thin diagonal strip, one white-sky blue diagonal strip, and one small patterned grey-white combination, additionally I bought my self a beautiful yet simple stainless squared cuff link.

I didn’t think much of the ties at that time. But back in Jakarta, I found the three ties that I acquired back then were very versatile indeed. The pattern and the design I found very youngish yet embedded with some conservative value which makes it very versatile. Additionally the build was very much decent. Remember the old maxim, that you know a good tie when you make a good knot out of it ? That’s exactly what Meticulous tie is all about. Soon after that purchase I found a new joy of trying various tie knot using it.

So, during my visit in Singapore last week, I didn’t have anything particular to seek, but the ties from Meticulous. Easy enough to search I found the stall on the 1st floor of the Suntec City, and though this time I know what to look for, I still found my self spending more than 20min browsing around the options.

The girl who attended the stall was very helpful, not only that she eager to help me navigate the stall she also offer valuable suggestions on some combination that I might like. After some thinking and consideration, weighing the option that I have, I finally satisfied with my pick of solid red in thin diagonal stripes, combination blue diagonal, small patterned white-dark blue combination and dark grey with white dot pattern. All cost me only $50 in total and all would be perfectly matched with either of my favorite navy blue or mid grey suit.

Solid red thin diagonal stripes, good for corporate events !!!

The pictures below shows my recent acquisition of these beautiful ties. As you can see, the patterns are reasonably conservative, yet you can match it with almost everything and will surely resulted in kind of youngish appearances. Other than silk (or claimed to be so) some of the ties also available in polyester depending on the design. The label on the back of the tie also claimed to be handmade, but I honestly questioned this. Nonetheless with some 8 ties already hanging in my wardrobe, do I still need to give my testimonial on the quality of the tie ?

It said "hand made", what do you think ?

Anyway some 8 months ago I came back from Singapore with 3 sets of tie in my luggage regretted why I didn’t get some more for my self. This month I came back from Singapore with 5 sets of tie, yet I still have the tingling feeling of regret on why I didn’t bought few more as gift for my good friends ?

It comes with a simple yet stylish cartoon box like this
