A Marine veteran says he has solved a problem that has plagued men for centuries every man has long struggled with<\/span>: creating the perfect knot for a necktie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frustrated by the at <\/span>countless life <\/span>hours he’s spent tying and retying neckties, Brent Bustamante developed the Two Piece Tie \u2014 a tie which slips through a separate,ly<\/span> permanently sewed knot \u2014 and the former Marine sergeant launched a Kickstarter campaign<\/a> to get his new product off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I love wearing ties, but I hate the classic Windsor knot,” Bustamante told the <\/span>Marine Corps Times. “They’re really, really boring.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During down time during an deployed to <\/span>Afghanistan deployment, Bustamante set out to teach himself dozens of elaborate knot styles, beyond the simple Windsor in search of the better tie<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the H<\/span>helicopter C<\/span>crew C<\/span>chief spent grueling hours perfecting each knot, he realized he needed to adapt and overcome the complexity of an intricate knot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They’re a real pain to learn how to do, to tie them and to wear them,” he said. “I wanted something simple and seamless to operate, kind of like a military unit.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So he hit on the idea for a two-piece tie. With the perfect knot already tied, it can be slipped on, adjusted and ready to go at a moment’s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike clip-on ties, which he finds bulky and cumbersome, the Two Piece Tie is as dapper and professional as it is functional, he said, and the pre-sewn knots can support the many majority of the approximately 200,000 <\/span>variations of the Windsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Plus, no one wants their tie to rip off when a girl grabs it to lean in for that kiss,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bustamante took his hard-charging attitude with him when he EAS’d in 2010 and formed his own business, Luxe Neckwear, dedicated to the next generation necktie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of some Marine buddies and after “slugging through the oilfields” in his hometown, he put together enough capital to set his dream in motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Most importantly, however, I found the mentorship I needed,” Bustamante said, enlisting an unnamed Fortune 500 CEO to guide him through business development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of the Kickstarter campaign, Luxe Neckwear now aims to ramp up mass production and marketing, targeting primarily 25- to 34-year-old menmales<\/span>, according to Bustamante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the Two Piece Tie will be sourced and manufactured exclusively in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a fantastic product that you’ll have for life, and you’ll be supporting an OIF\/OEF veteran,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his love of neckties, however, Bustamante thinks the Marines’ ties are fine as they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tie isn’t the centerpiece of the Marines Corps uniform, he said, <\/span>but the patriot wearing it, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is sacred and we wouldn’t dare change a thing,” Bustamante said, but “when you’re in civilian attire or the ol’ 1st CivDiv and you want to ‘Devil’ up in the dapperest patriot gear imaginable, that’s when you come talk to us.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the success of the Kickstarter campaign, the 100 percent silk Two Piece Tie will enter production in October 2015 and retail for approximately $75.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
