A NEW TAKE ON GETTING READY

A classic tie.
A simpler
adjustment.

The look you know. A new way to find your fit. We’re developing a zip-up necktie that adjusts with the hold of a button—and locks when you let go.

04 / OUR STORY

A familiar essential.
A fresh perspective.

Branch Ties was co-founded by Hunter Baldwin and Jakson Currit with a straightforward goal: improve how zip-up neckties adjust.

Hunter is a mechanical engineering student at Brigham Young University. We’re bringing a considered approach to a small detail of getting dressed—developing a custom push-button slider that pairs convenient adjustment with a classic necktie appearance.

Independently developed. Branch Ties is not endorsed by or affiliated with BYU.

05 / A FEW DETAILS

Glad you
asked.

How does the button work?

The concept uses a button to release the slider’s lock while it is held. You slide to adjust the fit, then release the button to lock. The mechanism is still being developed and tested.

Is the product available yet?

Not yet. Branch Ties is in development. We are not taking orders or accepting payments at this stage.

Will it look like a traditional tie?

That’s the goal: a classic necktie appearance with a concealed zipper installation. Final materials, styles, and appearance are still being determined.

When will pricing and launch details be announced?

Pricing and availability have not been set. We’ll share details as development progresses and we’re ready to announce them.
