All Cut by Wesley ties are handmade by one Wesley Stiller, an actor with the requisite bartending and catering gigs who also does some carpentry work on the side and since last fall, collects, cuts, sews up, and sells one-of-a-kind skinny ties. Each upcycled tie also has a fun whimsical name — like “harry the heartbreaker” or “the keeper of realness” — and unique, stitching detail.

 

 

Wesley made his first tie about five years ago. “Whenever I wore the tie, people just went crazy about it,” he says — so with a friend’s encouragement, he decided to go into business. Now, Wesley’s got plans to expand his tie collection to bowties and tassel-type neck-cessories he plans to call handlebars in the spring!

 

Each tie cots $95 — and work for girls as well as boys. Wesley says a friend wears hers in her hair. If you’re seeking a tie for holiday parties, I suggest the UN speeker speaker (Christmas) or thoroughly modern monty (Hanukkah). My favorite is the dark knightstand for its black and white simplicity — but others apparently felt the same way because it’s been sold.

 

 

You can find Cut by Wesley ties at the online store, or at a few Los Angeles boutiques like Visionary.
