Win This Beautiful Gingham Skinny Tie from Lumina Clothing Co.

Let us help you look your best in the new year with a brand new tie from Raleigh based Lumina Clothing Co.

Sorry gents, this contest has ended. Congrats to Primer subscriber Wayne Sung for winning!

Keeping up with style trends can be hard–and expensive. For much of the past 40 years tie widths have remained fairly constant, always pushing upwards of 3 inches. And now, everyone (us included) is telling you all the neckwear you’ve got in your closet look like clown ties?

Sure, you could have them tailored, but unless you’ve got a bunch of $100+ ties (we bet you don’t) the cost outweighs the benefit.

So, since we’re the jerks telling you to get new ties, we figured we’d help out by giving one lucky Primer subscriber a gingham skinny tie from Lumina Clothing Co. This “Blue Streak” tie retails for $59 on Lumina Clothing's site, but you could get one for free!

A visual guide to tie widths
Lumina Clothing is a relative new comer on the scene, founded in 2008 as a bespoke neckwear company. They’ve grown and now maintain a collection of ready-to-order bow and neckties.

Drawing from the local history of the textile industry in Raleigh, NC and creating as much in the area as possible, you shouldn’t be surprised by our support for another great small company producing goods right here in the USA.

Being a Primer subscriber has its benefits.
