How to Tie the 2-Tone Long

In the beginning there was the bow. The bow was without form and void. And darkness was upon the face of the deep. And then SP brought the color. And all was well in the land. Yes, some bros were intimidated by the bow, but with patience and guidance they mastered the bow. And wore it with pride. And again, there was peace in the land. Then SP heard a higher calling. The bros needed a longer tie, a tie to wear when the bow seemed just a bit too jaunty. A tie to wear when the boring corporate issue still wouldn’t do. That tie is the 2 Tone Long.

Lo, though the ties were indeed cut from the same cloth, there was a cry in the land, SP! We can not tie this tie the way you tie it. We can not achieve the contrast knot the way you intended. And the bros suffered.

Yes, we brought you out of the casual hell you were in. We dressed you up and made lesser men take notice. And you were proud. Not like a peacock, but like a rooster strutting the grounds with confidence and a wee bit of dandy. And yes, we then separated the gents from the bros. We can skin a buck and we can tie a bow tie. And we walk taller with that knowledge.

Now we ask you to raise your standard —  along with your skill — a notch higher. Embrace the 2 Tone Long. It won’t be easy. You will suffer for your splendor. But it will be worth it. This is indisputable. Others may mock what they can’t understand or achieve. You belong to the brotherhood. Go forth and be seen.
