ABOUT
SKINNYFATTIES is a new business that specializes in tailoring your favorite wide neckties. We provide an eco-friendly and money-conscious alternative to buying new skinny ties at retail value.
"I lost my full-time job and didn't have the money to buy job interview clothes. Instead, I learned how to tailor huge second-hand button-up shirts to fit me. Then, I found this box of fat ties in my closet. I immediately thought, 'I KNOW there is a way to make these cool ties skinny!' I did just that and became a real hit with my friends. One thing led to another and SKINNYFATTIES was born, becoming my full-time gig. For each tie purchased and every tie tailored, a $1 donation is made to Career Gear, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that helps men transition into the workforce. Full circle." said Founder and Designer, Joshua Adam Brueckner.
SKINNYFATTIES began taking orders in July 2012. All ties are hand-stitched in Brooklyn.
"No hating on fat ties. As a matter of fact, the patterns and materials are usually incredible. These fat ties just need a little help. That's where SKINNYFATTIES comes in," said Brueckner.
