Founded a decade ago on the premise that a well-made tie shouldn’t cost a fortune, The Tie Bar has become the #1 destination for stylish men's accessories - namely neckties, bow ties, tie bars, pocket squares, socks and a host of other products. By designing its own products and offering the largest selection online, The Tie Bar allows men to find the right ties and accessories to match their style while delivering premium quality and exceptional value. The Chicago-based company has been hailed and consistently featured by GQ Magazine among others for its ability to predict and drive trends in men’s fashion. The company's raving fan base includes a-list athletes and countless celebrities who love its style, quality and value.
A husband and wife duo, started the company a decade ago in Naperville, Illinois. The husband spilled a drink on his tie and wondered why his tie cost so much. As lawyers, they were sick of spending a fortune on neckties and knew there had to be a solution. In 2013 the company was purchased by Chicago Growth Partners (CGP) who has a majority stake in the nine-year-old company. The original founders remain on the board. The brand opened a pop up shop in Lincoln Park (918 W Armitage) for the 2014 holiday season. After a highly successful run the brand decided to make the store permanent as its first flagship brick and mortar location.
Opening a physical retail space in Chicago was a natural evolution for the brand. For more than a decade the company has been offering an exceptional online experience. The Lincoln Park flagship gives shoppers the chance to touch and feel their products, showcasing the breadth of the collection and quality of the neckwear and accessories in a dynamic environment.
