hey ntb, i find myself at a dilemma. most of my ties are skinny about 2 inches at most. should i get tie bars that are 1.5 inches or 1 inch? thanks

Forget the tie bars, you should invest in some new ties. Ties that skinny are so mod-post-mod that you end up looking like an extra from the Showdown at House of Blue Leaves or some other wack shit.
