Here's a tie he can wear again and again. This boys' pencil striped tie is neutral in shades of vanilla, ivory and brown, making it a "wear anywhere" kind of tie. He'll look charming wearing it to a family wedding, picture day or his next piano rehearsal. As far as the rest of his look, pair the tie with khakis or navy blue dress pants. This tie also comes in men's sizes, so it's easy to put together a matching father-son look.
This tie is just like a men's regular necktie, so it must be tied by the wearer. It measures 3-inches wide and 48-inches long, suiting most boys 8 to 13-years old (more on sizing below). Kids can be tough on ties, so we made this one from durable polyester. The fabric is a medium weight and mixes a textured background with smooth-finish stripes.
The Melvin Stripe is a TieMart exclusive and is available in other accessories (bow ties, clip-on ties, men's ties, floppy bow ties and pocket squares) as well as additional colors.
Sizing
When tied, the tip of a necktie should hit at about the belt line. Typically, this length of tie will fit most children ages 8 to 13-years old. Since kids vary in size, you might want to do a quick measurement to ensure this tie is the best fit. Measure the child from the collar to the belt line. The length measured should be roughly between 14.5 and 17-inches long. Need a different size? For shorter lengths, try a pre-tied boys' tie. For longer lengths, consider a men's tie.

Product Images
We try to display the colors of our products as accurately as possible in our images. Colors displayed on any computer or mobile device can vary, and we cannot guarantee that the colors you are seeing are the same as the actual fabric.
Color Names
Companies create their own color names. (We did for our products.) If another store uses the same color name as this product, it does not mean the colors will necessarily match.
Free Color Swatches
When matching colors, there is no substitute to seeing the actual fabric in person. Within the USA and Canada, we offer free color swatches to help you select the correct color before you buy. (Swatches are available for many of our solid, pattern and striped ties.) See our color swatch page for more information and available swatches.
What If The Color I Order Doesn't Match?
If the color you purchase is not the shade you need, we allow returns and exchanges within 60 days. See our full return and/or exchange policy for details.
