The iTie vs Thomas Pink's Commuter Tie -

This is not the first go around for Thomas Pink and the Commuter Tie. It has actually been around for 3 or 4 years and they stopped making it. I am going to put together a comparison of his Commuter Tie and my iTie so you, the consumer can make a wise decision as to which is better.





While the Commuter Tie has a huge name in fashion behind it, it does NOT compare to The iTie.





First of all, it does have a pocket specifically for the iPod Nano. The iTie features a concealed pocket for just about anything that will fit, including an iPod and other Mp3 players.





Secondly, Thomas Pink's Commuter Tie has NO means of attachment and DOES NOT stay in perfect position. The iTie not only stays ENTIRELY in perfect position, you don't have to put anything in the iTie pocket. The patented iTie pocket makes wearing a tie enjoyable and eliminates all the hassles of wearing other ties. Does Thomas Pink's have that feature?





Thirdly, the Commuter Tie only comes in 5 colors and costs $55-$100. The iTie comes in 35 designs and colors and The iTie pockets can be added to your existing necktie collection, giving your OLD ties NEW life! The iTie starts at only $20 and 6 iTie pockets can be purchased for $34.95, less than the cost of 1 Thomas Pink Tie.





There are virtually no benefits to choosing the Thomas Pink Commuter Tie over The iTie. In fact, you are still buying another necktie that will just get in your way and fly over your shoulder.

As you can see, I am not concerned with the Thomas Pink Commuter Tie competing with The iTie. If consumers want to overpay for a necktie that does not do anything for them, then by all means, go ahead.

What you do with your neckties is your business, my business is making highly functional neckties that WORK FOR YOU!

Keep an eye out for The iTie on Tyra Bank's Gift Giving Guide airing soon.

Joe Sale ~ President and Founder of The iTie

The iTie has been all over the place, except here! Here is the update.

It has been a few months since I have posted anything on here. Mostly due to Facebook and Twitter taking over the Social Media World. Don't worry, The iTie is still growing and is stronger than ever.

Over the past two months, The iTie has been featured in The LA Times and the Sun Sentinal. In addition, The iTie has also been on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Discovery Channel's Pitchmen, featuring Billy Mays and Sully.

With all of the success The iTie has seen over the past two months, we have also experienced a tremendous loss. I first met Billy Mays in a casting call for Pitchmen. During my pitch to Billy and Sully, I did a handstand to demonstrate how The iTie stays in perfect position, knocking over Billy in the process. During the pitch, they offered to do a short video endorsing The iTie that I can use on my website. That day has changed my life, all for the better and all thanks to Billy Mays. He went out of his way to help an entrepreneur get off the ground. Although we did not have the opportunity to work on a full direct response commercial, Billy gave me something I will never forget, the passion and drive to help others succeed.

Thank you Billy Mays, Sullivan Productions, and the Discovery Channel crew, Billy will be missed but will never be forgotten.

How the iTie actually works, attaches to your dress shirt!

I have received a bit of feedback from a couple of website visitors and there seems to be a bit of confusion as to how the iTie actually works. It is really quite simple and I am happy to clarify. The two elastic strips (each has two button holes) attach to the two closest buttons on your dress shirt. The elastic strips can be folded down should the button be below the strap. In addition, the tie itself can be adjusted slightly to align perfectly with the buttons. As you can see in the picture below, I have attached the iTie straps to the closest buttons on my shirt.

I plan on producing and posting several YouTube videos both instructional and for marketing purposes in the next month or two. In the meantime, this should help clarify how The iTie actually works and keeps the entire tie in perfect position.
