It’s On eBay Drake’s Ties That’s right! I’m bringing back “It’s On eBay” for a special weekend edition. A UK seller (presumably one near the factory) has a supply of Drake’s ties for £24.99 - about $40. It’s an amazing deal, more than 75% off a brand that rarely sells for more than 25% off or so. They’re also very wearable, practical ties.  (edit: all gone!)

It’s On eBay Ten-Piece Holland & Sherry Blazer Button Set One of the most impactful and reasonably-priced aesthetic alterations you can make to a blazer is button replacement. I have a blazer with traditional brass buttons, but it’s easy for brass too look, well, country-club-ish. Replacing gold buttons with something more distinctive, like the ones above, or with mother of pearl (in white, bronze or black) or bone (in white or brown) can make a big difference. I recently acquired two coats - one a Chester Barrie double-breasted with spectacularly homely metal buttons, the other a Kiton suit jacket with dark plastic buttons. I hopped over to Hwa Seng Textile, and ordered white bone buttons for one and black mother of pearl for the other. Silver-colored metal is also an option, but as long as you don’t go with black or navy (which will look like an orphaned suit coat), the world is your oyster. A tailor will typically charge about a dollar per button to attach whatever you bring him. Starts at $24.99, ends Friday, April 8th
