Anonymous asked: Zack It's Martin from Brisbane Australia. What is the cost of the Mekk tie please? I can't find it on the Andover Shop website.
$42.50 plus shipping. It’s a steal.
There are 5 patterns. The best are the orange one pictured, the same floral print as the orange in yellow and green, and a white/green diagonal stripe.
A little ‘Mekk for your neck.
Untipped 3” Marimekko cotton neckties handmade for the Andover Shop.

50% off right now at the Andover Shop and you won’t find these anywhere else.
Late 1960s powder blue herringbone silk/linen sack suit. If Rubinacci designed for J.Press, it would probably look something like this.
Pale pink linen/silk with white windowpane for the Andover Shop, 2012. Yes, I own this thing.
Andover Shop olive poplin wash n’ wear suit, late 1950s. I showed this to Charlie and his reaction was “I wonder why the fucking guy never wore it.”
Check the handwork on the collar and lapel. Awful nice for a washable beater suit.
In addition to shops in Cambridge and Andover, there were two shops on Cape Cod and two in Florida.
