A Tie To Inspire

by John Elliott on September 2nd, 2010

This is another tie from the creative Alynn Neckwear group where the detail and message, like your fire insurance policy, is in the fine print. At first glance this tie, with a splattering of gold lions against a background of foreign wording, would easily pass as either an old school or a gentleman’s club tie.

However, for those who can read Latin or Italian; the alleged English interpretation of the wording is, “Don’t Let The Bastards Grind You Down”. My friend, the same owner as the cartridge tie, uses this tie on days he needs inspiration or needs to convert a problem into an opportunity.

Unlike my friend, when I needed some daily inspiration I used to listen to my favourite tapes of Churchill’s famous wartime speeches.

Once again this tie meets the curiosity test and is also a good conversation starter.
