Must-Have Holiday Gifts from The Tie Bar: Ties, Ascots, Purples and Stripes

Manly Man Product Highlights: Lead Designer for the online retailer The Tie Bar, Greg Shugar, offers the following in his upcoming Holiday 2009 collection:

·Color – Power Purple

The necktie color of the year—Purple! Indeed, this regal color has shown to be a huge hit in fashion and one the best selling necktie colors for 2009. “The color purple connotes power, luxury and sophistication without being too dramatic,” says Shugar. “We expect it to be a popular color choice for gift-givers this holiday season.”
·Style – The Return to Stripes

While stripes are the most traditional of all necktie designs, Shugar believes that they are coming back big in more modern sizes and colors.

·Style – The Ascot

Bringing the 19^th century back into style, Ascot’s are no longer a thing of the past. Celeb style icons such as Ashton Kutcher and Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick have recently been spotted sporting ascots, bringing this old school fashion back into the spotlight, while adding a younger, fresher touch to it.

Manly Man Retail Price: Ties–$15.00 Ascots–$30.00 http://www.thetiebar.com

Chief Blonde’s Remarks: Come on! 100% Silk Ties for $15.00?? The quality of the tie that we reviewed for that price, how can they do it? If your manly man likes to/has to wear ties on a daily basis, I simply cannot see why you would shop elsewhere. The website clearly details what you are getting. You don’t even have to get into your car!

The “Wondershirt”?
Manly Man Product: The Equmen Core Precision Undershirt

The “Wonderbra” for Men

Manly Man Product Highlights: Normally a gift of underwear would be considered uninspired, but not if it is Equmen Core Precision Undershirt. Promising both health, cosmetic and sport benefits, thanks to its ‘quick fix’ body-contouring combined with ergonomic effects.
Dubbed the “Wondershirt”, or the “One minute Man Makeover”or “Man Spanx” it is designed with the proprietary Helix-Mapping Technology: a fusion of athletic compression technologies and physiotherapist taping techniques to instantly improve posture while supporting the back and slimming the core. Ventilated, moisture-wicking fabric fits like a second skin, streamlining the body for a more tailored look. With classic styling and seamless design, the Core Precision Undershirt easily fits into everyday wear.
The hottest launch to hit the shelves in 2009, proving to do everything from instantly slim to improve a man’s golf game, Equmen’s range has been named one of GQ’s products of the year thanks to its cutting edge design and technology. It has been featured in Time Magazine, Men’s Health, New York Times, Business Week, BBC Radio, The Guardian, Daily Mail, Allure and on the Tonight Show, NBC, Today and ABC News.

Manly Man Retail Price: $89www.equmen.com

Chief Blonde’s Remarks: Simply said, I could not get my husband to take this “wondershirt” off! I have to pry it off him to get it into the wash. He wears undershirts to work everyday, and this is the first one he grabs. My husband is very tall and the sizing was very accurate. It is expensive but very worth it as it is slimming, posture improving, and sexy too!
