“The Richmond” bow tie from Tasty Ties ($79)
It’s always interesting when businesses design neighborhood-themed products – you never know how they will choose to represent a certain part of the city. (But this is how we know the blog is making a real impact on the city – the Richmond District used to not be included in these kinds of things! LOL)
Today’s hyperlocal product is from Tasty Ties, started by a local designer named Jen Hartford who is “fascinated by the iconic power of the bow tie”.
The new San Francisco Collection of Tasty Ties launches today, and includes “The Richmond”, a simple, grey flannel tie. Perhaps to reflect the grey fog that we’re known for?
The Richmond bow tie is definitively sedate in comparison to those of other neighborhoods in the collection. The Marina has snazzy stripes, Chinatown has delicate flowers on black, the Tenderloin has purple velvet, and Folsom Street… well, theirs is leather, of course.
If you’re ready to sport your local affinity via bow tie, head over to Tasty Ties – you can pick one up for $79. And if you do, please send us a pic with your foggy neckwear.

Looks like the Sunset didn’t get a tie…..
Flannel? Actually, that’s more Sunset than Richmond. All it needs is a Ben Davis monkey on there and it’s totally Sunset.
I’m with y’all, the Sunset (especially Outer) is usually foggier than the Richmond. I would love to see a tie that blended the truly international feel of the Richmond that is especially punctuated with Cantonese and Russian/Slavic culture.
