Sometimes, a cross-continental road trip in the name of hard-to-get haberdashery is an adventure worth having. That goes double if we’re talking stuff by Alexander Olch, the acclaimed New York tie-maker who got his start hand-crafting neckwear at Harvard; it’s all but impossible to find outside Canada’s west coast or the States.
Thankfully, famed online retailer Mr. Porter is saving you the hassle of a trip to the Big Apple or The Couve with free express shipping to Canada until Sept. 18. Use this chance to delve into Olch’s trademark offbeat fabrics, which can range from corduroy and flecked wool to cotton and cashmere. No uptight power ties here — this playful plaid woven-wool tie, at $135, exemplifies Olch’s bespoke casual feel. Its mix of reds, blues, greens and other tones can kick up a slim, grey suit, making certain you don’t fall victim to the neutral shades of colder months.
