Chris and Maya are the best! Chris is king! He is very knowledgeable and has great customer service!

The service is terrible! I bought a tie for an important thing and 2-3 weeks ago and it still has not arrived, they said it was lost in transit. I have tried to call email multiple times and they have not answered once! Still waiting for it to arrive some day, do not order online! read more

Ordered a set of ties that not only would arrive late (despite expedited shipping), but also did not have the address correct, leading to us not having the ties we needed in time. Avoid ordering online if possible. I've never seen a company so incompetent so as to send the carrier the incorrect address. read more

Came in today for some bow ties for an almost 12 year old boy to get some bow ties for his growing collection. Found the Tie Bar after doing a search and lo and behold - it came up! I came in after they opened and was immediately like wow! If this was a women's store with the variety of ties on the wall being shoes - we'd be in heaven! I mentioned that I was looking for bow ties and was taken up to the second level to look at them. Found a few self-ties and one clip around. Store is very clean and caters to weddings or suiting. Their ties are very reasonable, less than Macy's for sure! While checking out with the toes, for a first time customer they offer 10% off your forest purchase! Score! So if you're in the need for a suit, ties or a man's gift even - stop in! read more

AMAZING find. Connected to the Black Tux, this place is a match made in heaven. Our theme was a dusty rose pink, and they had a million and two ties- textured, patterned, every hue from light to dark, and socks to match! The first time we came, my husband and I confidently guessed the matching pink shade without a swatch, and (obviously!) were no where close, but exchanging was easy! Similar to the Black Tux, they are super personable and will help you with styling and matching. I may have gotten just as excited helping my husband style his guys as I did getting to style my girls. Super awesome for wedding needs! read more

The Tie Bar - All the pinks! - Men's Clothing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I just received my first order of 4 ties and I am very pleased. Sharp looking and good quality at a fair price. I wore a blue one with white dots today and received many compliments from co-workers. I will definitely be ordering again read more

Garbage customer service. Extremely rude employees and an employee reacted extremely aggressively to a customer who was mistakenly walking in right at 6 when the store was closing. Understand that people can't enter past a certain time, but no need to act like they're a crazy ex spouse violating a restraining order. read more

By far the best mens dress shop experience so far! Great service and affordable prices.

It's an accessory store or haberdashery as some people use to call it. They sell ties,socks, cufflinks recently they started selling shirts. They also sell belts and suspenders. Ordered the socks online before but was my first time in the store. Was there for an event. The salespeople were nice and helpful. Will certainly be back. read more

Closed early without updating hours online and made a trip specifically to stop by, so frustrating

I have purchased more than 7 ties, several tie bars, and a pocket square from The Tie Bar for my husband online over the past few years. I am very pleased with the quality of their silk ties. My husband uses these regularly at work. We also opted to go with a Burgundy Grosgrain Solid Tie in Silk and a Burgundy Silk Pocket Square for our recent elopement in Paris, France and we are so happy with how the tie and pocket square looked with his blue suit. I would definitely recommend The Tie Bar for men looking for reliable silk ties for work or special occasions. Their quality is amazing and their prices are very reasonable. read more

I am always on the look out for high quality ties and accessories that I can purchase on line with reliable delivery. Work mandates the use of ties from time to time but also impinges on my in person shopping times. This is where the Tie Bar comes in. Great selection of ties in various styles (if you like the regular vs the narrow) and materials. The designs range from contemporary to classic. I purchased several ties and some tie bars which just arrived in the mail. i am very happy with the selection on the site, ease of use, and quick shipping. The prices are very reasonable. They also have a very good selection of tie bars with minimal teeth that could damage you tie over time. FYI I found the Tie Bar after a mention in a fashion magazine as a purchasing source for customers and their own fashion department for photo shoots. read more

I'm not sure why I expected more from a $15 tie. Maybe I'm the one in the wrong here for thinking these ties would be of better quality than they are, and I apologize if my expectations were too high. I purchased three ties and a couple of pocket squares a few months back. I'm content with the pocket squares. So yay on that end. On the tie front though; I'm not sure if it's an issue with the tie pattern (houndstooth) or if this is just what one can expect from The Tie Bar, but one of my new ties already has a number of snags/loose threads accumulating, which results in it looking older than it actually is. The other two ties are still covered in the plastic wrap that it came in so we'll see how they turn out after a couple of wears. And I'm careful with my ties so it's not the result of "customer misuse" as another Yelper was accused of on this business page (I believe that's the last item on "10 Surefire Ways To Annoy Your Customers"). I've worn the tie on two separate occasions to the office (maybe three times) and it's already starting to appear a little raggedy. That leaves me a little womp-womp because I really like the way it looks (err... looked). But then I'm reminded that I didn't spend too much on these ties so I guess I'm not terribly upset. I could justify buying these ties if there wasn't a rather high (imho) s + h cost attached to each purchase. I can imagine how exhausting it must be lifting ties and putting them in boxes... I doubt I'll be buying from the Tie Bar (online) again although I would definitely stock up on a few ties the next time I'm in town (at least then I can preview the quality of the ties before purchase). Maybe consider letting customers rate their purchased ties on your website, so that other customers can then know what to expect as far as quality is concerned? Just an idea. You're welcome. read more

I hopped off the L to meet a buddy and while waiting for him to show up I popped in to take a look, not enough time for the selection so I decided to come back. Came back and spent a while looking over all they have to offer picked up a few ties and pocket squares for the holidays. They are what they are inexpensive ties, that said they seem to be quality. Happy to hear the response was good enough to encourage them to stay open beyond the new year. read more

I placed an online order on 1/2/22. The order has been in Atlanta since 1/6/22. I have not received any new updates as of 1/18/22. I reached out to customer service by email because that's the only option, only to be told that the carrier they use is not good at communicating and updating tracking info. read more

This place is the best. Affordable, great quality, wonderful selection, and the staff is so knowledgeable and has great taste. My (now) husband has always talked so highly about this place and I brought my dad here to get the essentials before our wedding. He felt so special and pampered (and it was easy on my wallet). Highly recommend. I will shop here for all the men in my life. read more

Ordered a couple of ties this weekend online from a recommendation. Website is helpful in that I can sort by color (my biggest criteria). Simple to navigate, checkout painless. $36 for two ties including shipping...done. I don't wear often enough to wear out so should be good for a while. Boxed up very nicely and received in 4 business days as described. Will definitely order from here again. read more

The Tie Bar - Shipping box...nicely wrapped in tissue. - Men's Clothing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

YOU GUYS!!! The Tie Bar is a great store to go to when looking for ties/bowties/socks for any occasion. First of all....this store is in a great location. It is so close to the brown line and parking is okay, you can either pay for parking on Armitage or the side streets are free during the day. 2. The employees here are SO HELPFUL! They asked if we were looking for anything in particular and we were looking for a bowtie and ties for our groomsmen. Tristan helped us out by asking if we had a picture of Ryan's suit and colors of our bridesmaids dresses. He pulled out a bunch of ties he thought would look good and even brought over a blue suit coat for us to see the whole ensemble together! 3. THE TIES/BOWTIES ARE SO AFFORDABLE! like seriously affordable..like cheaper than stuff you can find at kohl's or macy's. so guys, next time you are looking for a tie for work or a wedding or whatever you need a tie for...go check out The Tie Bar. They will take good care of you & your ties will be on point. read more

The store is easy to navigate as it's mainly just the front room. The ties are organized by colors, then by designs. They also have a smaller drawer of socks, also organized by colors. I stopped in to buy my boyfriend a couple ties for Christmas and was helped by Tristian. He asked me about my boyfriend's personality and showed me a couple that he thought would fit well. He gave me time and space to browse through the drawers and even helped me narrow down to three ties that I ended up purchasing! Most of their ties are around $20, so not too pricey and they have such a wide range of designs! read more

Shannon took a personal interest in my shopping experience and helped me every step of the way while selecting two new high end shirts to wear at work. I love the shirts and after my A+ experience in-shop, I'll be a return customer for many seasons to come. Thanks for the fresh duds, to Shannon and the Tie Bar team! read more

Ties and tie bars and pocket squares, oh my! While I tend to prefer the casual, athleisure, I-woke-up-like-this look, there are times in my life where I DO need to look presentable to the public. And there is no better place to get accessories than The Tie Bar. I pop in a few times a year to get refresh my tie collection and other items to add to my wardrobe. I appreciate the variety in their ties and their pocket squares - every color of the rainbow (and even colors not on the rainbow, for your technical people), and a great selection of patterns to keep you looking dapper, not gaudy. Tie Bar came to the rescue when I needed some bowties (the ones you actually tie yourself!) for a gala I was attending. Side note: have you ever tried tying a bowtie on your own? OH MY GOD, it's one of the most ridiculous things ever... I spent about 45 minutes learning by watching Youtube videos and trying to make it work before this gala I had to go to back in October. I was going crazy, sweating, all stressed out... a true nightmare. Single-handedly one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. Thankfully it turned out OK and I was able to tie a decent bow. Now if they offered a bowtie-tying class, it would be amazing! What I really appreciate is their pricing. Most everything is under $20, and it's an affordable way to avoid the biggest faux pas of showing up to an event more than once with the same time. The horror! And totally unrelated, but I really love the lighting fixture in their store. Seriously, you have to stop in just to check that out. it's fantastic! I want one for my house. A fashion fan favorite! read more

Fantastic store with an even more fantastic staff! Garrett and Elise were helpful, kind, and KNEW THEIR STUFF! 5 stars for Tie Bar, 6 stars for Garrett and Elise! read more

Shopping here was quite possibly the best customer service experience I've ever had. Specifically, Kim was incredible to work with. I hope you get to experience her magic if you stop in! I am at a transition point right now where I will need to wear more professional attire moving forward. I hadn't bought a new tie in years, so this was a big step for me. From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in the right place. I was greeted with a warm welcome before I even had two feet in the door. Not in a pushy manner, but letting me know they were genuinely happy I had stopped in. Through engaging, casual conversation, Kim was able to pick out ties that give me confidence and feel like ME. She wasn't trying to up-sell me either. She helped me eliminate ties and pare it down to the select few that I was most excited about. I can't wait to wear the ties that Kim helped me pick out! Also, if you don't care about any of that, the pricing can't be beat! read more

Very disappointed in this company.They cannot seem to communicate with their online customers.I ordered two ties several weeks ago and as of this post the ties have not arrived.They were supposed to be delivered within 7 days.My original concern, by following the tracking number produced no results. I e mailed the company and a rep told me they would adjust off the shipping charges,which they did.They assured me the order would arrive "early in the week". Seven days have now passed an no order.I have since reviewed the company per their own request.I have left a message on that review, but there has been no attempt to contact me.I do however, receive an abundance of e mail messages advising me to purchase more of their products.All Indications seem like the products are good based on other reviews, but upper management needs to rethink their shipping policies and their relationship with USPS.Perhaps The could hire a consultant to handle the logistics as well as additional customer service staff training, as to responding promptly to customer issues.Perhaps the Tie Bar should stick to the old Brick & Mortar, store concept, rather than venturing into the world of e commerce. ...Gary Chicagoland read more

Extremely impressed with the quality of these ties. I bought two for my wedding, one for the best man and one for my husband. They had a great selection on line, and I had trouble narrowing it down, but when I finally decided, I couldnt have been more pleased. Beautiful silk fabric with an amazing, rich colour that looked pricier than $15 for sure! Excellent packaging and fast shipping too. Although I understand they also have a showroom in Naperville you can go to if you'd rather not buy on line. Any man who needs to wear a tie for any reason should check this place out first. read more

The Tie Bar - fabulous tie for my groom courtesy of the Tie Bar - Men's Clothing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We ordered twelve ties from this company for our groomsmen and ushers. Each of the 3 kinds of tie were described as "tangerine" and "skinny" but the oranges didn't match nor were the widths the same. They don't have any stores outside of Naperville, so we weren't able to go in and see them in person. We had assumed since they were all named the same that they would match. They enthusiastically claim that they ship exchanges for free! but in actuality, they don't pay for return shipping which can add up if what you order doesn't look the same as described online. When I requested a return shipping label, they told me "it's against company policy" to give out return labels. Then I requested they cover the cost of one of the dozen ties I was buying since it's about equivalent to the cost of shipping (and also it should be a courtesy to keep me as a customer. I guess I've been spoiled by Zappos.) They said that's also "against company policy." Guess where I won't be shopping again! Guess where I'll be telling all of my male friends where not to shop! read more

I enjoyed their ties, I like the price point, no customer service from "L". A pretied bow tie I purchased fell apart, and I was told they only last a dozen or so wears. Update: After posting negative review on Yelp I was called by The Tie Bar. Mark stated Leah "misspoke" in her email and they are mailing a replacement tie. Will update if issue is resolved FINAL UPDATE: Received replacement for the defective tie. Update response to owners comment: Thought this issue was resolved. Four other ties purchased previous to the tie in question from Tie Bar are still in good working order. Tie Bar did replace the tie I called defective, and they called abused. I guess they will not be happy till I give them a 5 star review, so here is your 5 star review. Please do not bother me again with any comments or contact. read more

Ordered two ties on a Thursday, and they were delivered to my Chicagoland address on Saturday. Ties were neatly packaged in a perfectly sized box and wrapped in tissue paper. Ordering on-line was simple, and you can narrow searches by color, style (skinny vs traditional, neck vs bow), length, etc. Tie bars, pocket squares, socks, and other accessories also available. I would ordinarily be concerned that the lower prices reflect less quality but that is not the case. The ties look great! Knowing they are featured in GQ helps. read more

Only leaving 5 stars because I can't leave 500 stars. I was just in an embarrassing bride panic as we arrived at our wedding destination and the tie I ordered for my dad to match the groomsmen ties was nowhere to be found. I searched high and low, almost cried unnecessary tears because that's my emotional state right now, and then figured I had no choice but to call and order a new one hoping it would arrive by Friday. The manager I spoke with was beyond sympathetic and accommodating. He looked up my previous order on the spot and over-nighted me the tie with no shipping charge. It's going to arrive in the next 24 hours and now I can go back to panicking about other things. I am so appreciative for this customer service and need the world to know how awesome it has been to work with Tie Bar. Also, they're ties are wonderful and very affordable. So I encourage every bride and groom and regular person to use this store as your source for wonderful ties and customer service! read more

I'm generally satisfied with the more than a dozen ties and pocket squares I've purchased in the past year. Most of the ties look like the photos on the website, but at $15.00 each, it's a small investment to have some that missed the mark. The tie bars are another story. They are regularly featured in GQ and come in wide range of beautiful colors. The problem is they don't work. I bought three and love the way they look - in the box. However, because they don't have teeth like other tie bars, they quickly slip down the tie and separate from the shirt. Most photos I'm in show the tie bars drooping at a 45 degree angle. I have spent hundreds of dollars at The Tie Bar, but I wasted $45 for those tie bars. And the company's response to my complaint? They didn't even bother to call me back. read more

36 hours before we leave for our wedding, my fiance decides that actually maybe he'd like a new bow tie and a pocket square and we should go shopping. Men - nothing like the last minute! Encouraging myself to take deep breaths, I found The Tie Bar on Yelp, and invoked the favor of every deity to have the right items in stock as we pushed open the shop door. "Just browsing," my fiance says to the staff, cuz you know, no big deal. "We're getting married Friday, and he wants something blue," I tell them, because ain't nobody got time for lollygagging right now. "OH MY GOD, IT'S FOR YOUR WEDDING?! THIS WEEK?!" Now this, this was the appropriate amount of shock and horror that this statement should have been received with - thank you Edward for proving that I am not insane to be less than thrilled we were doing this a day and a half before our trip. Edward immediately flew into action, pulling open several drawers and giving us a Forrest-Gump like list of blue bow ties - a paisley one, dotted one, solid one, floral one, etc. He pulled out a few pocket squares to coordinate with, and came back with an armful of dress socks to choose from as well. This experience was about 1,000x less stressful than I was expecting it to be, as Edward asked great questions to narrow down and very quickly put together some complimentary looks to choose from. We were in and out of the store within 20 minutes, and for a new bow tie, pocket square, and pair of socks, we paid $42, definitely very reasonably priced! I cannot thank you enough for the great variety and service at the shop to make our shopping trip so successful and smooth! read more

After further review, it needs to be said that the Tie Bar has EXCELLENT customer service. Even though we were somehow struck by 2 bad ties, 2 years in a row for Christmas gifts, I was assured that the quality control that goes into the product and the experience we had was far from the norm in dealing with the Tie Bar. That said, we have still needed corrections to the 2 orders we've made. At the end of the day, I'm sure they get 99% of the orders correct and send out UN-snagged ties - but I can only speak to our experience. Both times so far we've been disappointed at first, but the customer service and effort on the back end made us go away feeling much better. And when the ties DO come through correctly - they're great quality for a good price. read more

I've been ordering Tie Bar ties for years and have always had great experiences with fast & cheap shipping, great website and selection. Now that I'm getting married I have to say I'm thankful enough to write this review! We will be using really awesome black & white bow ties that are reversible. This may be the first thing my fiance has been excited about in the wedding planing process - THANKS! :) read more

I received a tie as a gift, which I was interested in returning. Tie looked great but I wanted a different one. The Tie Bar does no reimburse any shipping costs on exchanges, they only reimburse for returns. The tie cost 15$ + 6$ for shipping. Shipping the tie back to the company costs 8$ from Fedex. You are then charged shipping again for the new tie. Basically I lost 20$ (6+8+6) for trying to exchange a 15$ tie. Great products but poor experience on exchanges. I would not recommend the tie-bar for gifts. I would recommend the tie-bar for people that are positive about what they want. read more

Hey everyone, I came here like so many others after an article in GQ magazine. Ordered a couple of ties and they looked great but for one problem, one of them had a little snag/defect in it. Called the tie bar, they asked me to send a picture so I did. The lady on the phone said "that's not a real snag" so if I wanted to send it back, I would have to pay for the return shipping. I couldn't believe my ears so I tried to reason with the lady but she was adamant, the "defect" was just a "normal" part of the tie. Granted, I am no tie expert. But if I buy something new and there is something that doesn't look like, I feel that I'm entitled to an exchange where I am not charged shipping. Just absurd. So I told her that I would go on the internet and write about this experience and she said that I was free to do as I wished. So here I am. The lady on the phone was nice through it all but I think the situation just sucks. The other tie I got was fine. So this 1-star is for the customer service. The one tie I got that was not defective looked great and I wear it often. It is definitely cheaper feeling but can't complain for $15. It's too bad I had this one issue because I won't order from this place again. Customer service is so important that I felt the need to come here to write this longer than usual review. There are too many other options for everything, including cheap ties, that companies should give customers the benefit of the doubt. read more

Well, I WANTED to give this place a chance, as I've heard it talked up by all of my chic hipster friends who love paying nothing for such ~style~. In retrospect, perhaps I should have driven down into the city to the store instead of ordering online. Maybe my experience would have been better. After all the word of mouth, I decided to order a tie and a tie bar as a Christmas gift for a loved one who will be in town for only six days the week after Christmas. The order was placed the first week of December, shipped out (according to a confirmation email) December 8th from KY. Then, I stared at this for days trying to figure out what the hell was going on with my order: 12/16/2014 03:57 PM Electronic Information Sent to USPS 12/16/2014 03:57 PM Electronic Information Received by USPS 12/15/2014 02:05 AM Departing Newgistics Facility LOMBARD, IL 601481212 12/11/2014 02:23 AM Arrived at Newgistics Facility LOMBARD, IL 601481212 12/9/2014 05:47 PM Departing Newgistics Facility Fishers, IN 46037 12/9/2014 04:46 AM Departing Newgistics Facility Hebron, KY 41048 12/8/2014 08:24 PM Inducted into Newgistics Network Hebron, KY 41048 12/7/2014 06:26 PM Shipped from Client Of course, the estimated delivery date was between 12-12 and 12-15, which it managed to surpass without issue. It is now December 20th and USPS, despite the shipping information being sent to them on the 16th, still has it labeled "pre-shipment". Thanks a lot, Tie Bar. I'll update my review if the package ever arrives. Hell, I may even offer 2 stars if I get my money back. read more

Gents, there is no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on designer ties, bow ties, tie bars, or any men's accessories. Period. I love the Tie Bar. I've always been meaning to order a few things from here ever since I started reading about them. I ordered a bow tie for the VA Gold Cup (similar to the Kentucky Derby) and had it delivered fairly quickly. The quality of the bow tie (silk) is just as good as my ties from Burberry, Brooks Brothers, and Hugo Boss to name a few brands. The bow tie was only $15 too, as with all their other bow ties and neck ties. Seriously, why spend so much money on designer brands when you can get ties that are just as good in quality and much cheaper in price? They have also started making money clips too! Love these guys. I wish my collection of ties wasn't so extensive right now, otherwise I would order much more. I probably will though soon. read more

$15 ties, good quality, great selection, superb customer service. Only qualm I have had so far is the clips one one of the tie clips is more like a money clip rather than a hinge that can be pressed to open up, which makes it basically impossible to get on a shirt and tie. Whats with that design? Also some of the other clips have no teeth which makes them dance all over the tie an not stay in place very well (particularly if it is a slick material tie). Ties vary greatly in feel, thickness, and weight, even if they are the same material, but so far I have been happy with all of them and I will no longer need to go to the store for new ties. read more

Easy like Sunday morning. I stopped in the showroom on my lunch break because I didn't want to pay for shipping. Great service by Terry (I believe that's her name), I was in and out in about 20 minutes. You should come prepared with the items that you want written down. Great accessories at at great price point. They have a good story on how they got started, which the employees told me about that was pretty cool. read more

I made a purchase with 3-6 business day delivery. This was for a wedding, 7 business days out. Seemed like this wouldn't have been an issue. Evidently, this was an estimated 3-6 days. It will take 8-9 days, thus missing when I need it and will need to go to the store and buy another set. Nothing better than ordering something online and it being a total waste. read more
