Has anyone found any good Last Crusade 'close enough' ties at any of the local-found retail stores...?ie, Target, JC Penny's etc...?

I got mine from Solid Color Neckties:

It's polyester, and doesn't have quite the same subtle weave of the original poplin tie, but it is matte black and how can you beat under $10 shipped?

They were very easy to deal with and I had my tie in four days.

I had a black tie that I had bought with a suit from JC Penny's. It served its purpose well. I was semi-battle scarred LC Indy lol ( I had to wear that shirt three days in a row for a con so it was pretty battered)

I was already placing an order, so I bought mine from What Price Glory. I think I paid $8.00.

Here's the link

and their description;

Worn by all ranks 1926-1942 with winter uniforms. These are foreign surplus 100% wool and work very well as a substitute for the very rare US issue version.

Other idea might be to check your local police/EMS uniform shop.

They usually have black neckties in there, maybe even some clip ons if you're afraid of Nazi's choking you out with yours.

If you can, visit your neighborhood military px, I got an excellent black tie for about $5, the kind worn on navy uniforms.

Fortunately I was at one time a police officer, so I have one of those clip-ons lying around.
