Boost in red tie sales expected as cult movie The Spirit comes to UK

Fans of a cult comic book movie opening in the UK in January have been bombarding a website to buy the title character’s iconic red tie.

The UK’s leading online tie retailer TieWarehouse.co.uk has received a bunch of emails from fans eager to buy a tie in the same shade of red as The Spirit.

Plain Scarlet Red Tie

The cult film character is a dead cop who has come back to life to fight crime.

The film is released in the UK on January 1st, and is directed by Frank Miller.

His unique filming style is very dark, but highlights the character’s bright red tie.

Now a tie with a similar colour has gone on sale at http://www.tiewarehouse.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2072.

Jason Winter from Tie Warehouse said: “We must admit that we had not heard of this film until a bunch of emails started to arrive from film fans in America and the UK.

“The visual style of The Spirit is unique and beautiful, as you would expect from a director and artist such as Frank Miller. The red tie is given such prominence, no wonder fans want to wear it.”

Tie Warehouse was set up in January 2004 and is based in Dartford, Kent.

There are nearly 2,000 different designs and styles of ties and accessories in stock at any one time, with approximately 100 new products added every month.

Quantum of Solace Ties

James Bond is a man who makes wearing a tie look cool in the new 007 movie – and now you can emulate Bond’s style.

The UK’s leading online tie retailer TieWarehouse.co.uk has picked a handful of ties similar to those seen round Daniel Craig’s neck in Quantum of Solace.

They are all dark ties, reflecting Bond’s mood in the new film, set a few hours after the previous movie Casino Royale ended.

Jason Winter from Tie Warehouse said: “Bond is likely to be very serious and brooding in this film as he reflects on the betrayal and death of his lover in the last film.

“We will see him in lots of dark suits with dark coloured but stylish ties, as shown in the posters and trailers so far.”

Jason added: “The good thing about plain dark ties is that it’s very easy for anyone to emulate the Bond look! We have picked a number of clip-on ties so the knot is perfect every time.”

Jason’s pick of the Bond ties are:

Braces Not Just Keeping The Trousers Up!

Justin Timberlake wears them. The Dark Night’s Joker looks the part in them.
Everywhere you go, someone has them. We’re talking braces, not the metal on
the teeth braces, but trouser braces, today’s hottest fashion item.

The rise in popularity is clear to see, with celebrities such as Justin Timberlake showing off braces in a fashionable and stylish manner. Timberlake famously wore a wicked pair of red leather braces, in the video for the song Ayo Technology back in 2007.

You may also have noticed another example in the smash hit film The Dark Knight, with a stylish pair of purple diamond braces worn by the late Heath Ledger, in his starring role as the Joker .

If star celebrities are wearing them then surely braces are a new must have fashion accessory?
