...I promise. But here are those that lurk in my wardrobe:
From left to right, a pink and blue stripe from Hackett, sadly stained with coffee, an Old Persean tie, the next two, both from Hackett, are red on navy and a blue on yellow in linen; last of all, a Liberty tie. Liberty seem to have stopped making ties themselves. The last time I visited their shop, their own designs were nowhere to be seen.
American striped ties slant in the opposite direction. There are the bizarre traditions about old school ties; there used to be two versions, the crested one shown above and a plain one. It was considered more correct to war one in town and the other in the country, but I can't remember which. That admirable work, the Book of Public School Old Boys, University, Navy, Army, Air Force & Club Ties, London, Seeley Service, with an introudction by John Betjeman, may help. I have a copy in the garage.
