Ties Planet ties feature on Jamie Oliver’s new show!

Jamie Oliver is back on our TV screens, this time with Jamie's Dream School, a seven-part series for Channel 4. Oliver has brought together a team of celebrity teachers to cajole 20 teenagers into returning to the educational system.

Ties Planet has contributed to the flagship show by supplying the ties the kids are wearing! To use a Jamie Oliver term, we'd say that's pretty pukka!

Want one of the ties for yourself?

London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week is in full flow and we are watching with interest.

Wednesday sees a dedicated Menswear Day and as you may have guessed, we will be on the lookout for the latest trends in neckwear. We fully expect skinny ties to remain in fashion and are at the cutting edge of this item, supplying a wider range of skinny and narrow ties than you will find anywhere else.

Bow ties could also be high on the agenda and John Paul Gaultier was said to be heavily influenced by James Bond at the recent Paris Fashion Show, featuring a timeless black bow tie.

Special Six Nations Rugby Section Added to Tiesplanet.com

After just two games in the Six Nations it has already developed into a two horse race between England and France. The crunch match between the two takes place on 26th February and by the end of a tough 80 minutes that evening we should have a hot favourite to lift the trophy. Chris Ashton looks to have the award for top try scorer wrapped up unless another player can emulate his heroic displays, having scored half a dozen tries already.

However, there is plenty of rugby left to play and if you want to look your best to support your favourite country then look no further than tiesplanet.com!!!We have added a dedicated Six Nations section with ties, cufflinks, socks, hankies, tie bars and sets to choose from.

As a special offer to blog readers we are also offering SIX POUNDS off when you spend £25 or more before the end of the tournament - simply enter the discount coupon code 'UNION' at checkout and £6 will be deducted from the cost of your order.

Hagman Back in Dallas Remake

Tory MP Sorry After Novelty Tie Breaks Into Speech

Online retailer Ties Planet has offered to help MPs compete with Tory Nadhim Zahawi when it comes to neckwear.

The MP for Stratford on Avon’s musical tie burst into a tune lasting around 20 seconds as he spoke at a debate on the Educational Maintenance Allowance in England.

Labour rival George Howarth wittily began his own speech by saying:

“Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to compete with the honourable gentleman with regards our respective ties!”.

However, this may not be true for much longer as Leeds-based Ties Planet has offered all MPs a 25% discount on tie orders until the end of the current tax year.

Managing Director Andrew Bragg commented:

“With MPs coming under close scrutiny over their pay and expenses we thought it would be a good idea to give them a break for once!”

One person who found the incident far from amusing was Deputy Speaker Dawn Primarolo, who snapped:
“Perhaps next time the honourable gentleman will be more selective in the ties he wears in the chamber and then we won't need the musical accompaniment.”

The MP for Morley and Outwood, the constituency where Ties Planet is based, is the high profile Ed Balls. The company is also located within minutes of Dewsbury, birthplace of Conservative Co-Chairman Sayeeda Warsi.
