The Invisible Agent 
hey you have a very cool site! I love all the vintage info! I was just in New York a few days ago. Happy new year!
after visiting your blog, potency of black and white has further been reaffirmed for me at least.
Hi David!
I just got an email about your ties at Bergdorf’s from the urban daddy list serve and recognized your name. Congrats on starting your own company..the ties look great! I hope you’re the next Ralph.
warms regards,
Shane (production assistant who sat across from you at Tommy).
Great blog. I especially enjoyed the old HSM ads– i used to work for them.
Best,
JP

Thank you-

Your ability to find interesting and “related” images and subjects are amazing, and very inspiring. I am realy impressed about how consistently you are working.
Your posts are unique. Thank you for sharing.
Love your website.
This, by the way reminded me of one of your wonderful ties…

Just found your blog and am an instant fan! Stoked to find another with such similar interests. Keep ’em coming.
Cheers
I have a blow-up of a 1912 HS&M advert showing eight nattily attired young men, and an improbably coiffed young lady, on and around a Mercer Raceabout(the hot car of it’s day). My father was a commercial artist and motorsports fan and I’ve speculated whether this may have been his work. In any case, it’s a super graphic that your readers may enjoy and while its too big for me to scan, I could send a jpeg image and if a anyone can identify the artist I’ll be delighted.
Hey Jerry,
I’d love to see it! Sounds awesome!

I ahve just bought an original 1950’s pair of Cabana Shasta Black Cateye sunglasses, can you tell me how I know if they are the real thing as I cant find anything about them on the internet?
Hey Daisie!

I was wondering where you got the image bomb-shekter-1961.jpg Is it possible that I could get a higher resolution copy of that image? if so, please let me know how.
Thanks. ritchot
So, you’re the dapper fellow that bought my red typewriter! I’m so pleased. Your sensibility and your toys are a real tickle (as they used to say, and might say again!) If you’re interested in musical instruments, check out Bear Paw Fiddles, our vintage musical instrument company.
I’m very pleased to have found your site. (I was searching on “1926 Royal Typewriter”, and there you were.)
I look forward to perusing your site at greater length. Best regards from the other coast,
Lorna Joy

Are you looking for an intern who loves ties and your work? If so, e-mail me. I would love to see how you work and the process behind designing a tie! Just picked one up at BG to add to my collection of DH ties…incredible everytime. But really, I would love to intern with you….
I just love this blog.
I went all over that Tucked site and couldn’t find you though.
I thought that you might like this blog, are those places cool looking or what?

Your site is very stylish. I am routinely drawn to visit and look everything over. Thank you.
Patrick Sargent saw me in Nordstrom’s in King of Prussia sporting a bow tie and stopped me, complimented my tie and (when he found out I lived in Manhattan) gave me your name. Nice site- love the tartan ties and the denim four in hand- too bad I only wear bow ties.
Hi Greg!
Did you see the bowties on our website?
Hi David
Great site….enjoyed the cartoons…i have always been a fan of the Adams Family!!
Thanks
Wonderfully eclectic yet inter-related effort. Keep it up. Many thanks – CJG
