Best Gryffindor tie?

[mijan]

I'm still using my old PS/CoS style necktie with my costume, and I REALLY need to update to the PoA style.  However, there's a problem.

Most of the Gryffindor ties I've seen are a wierd purple-ish colour.  I want to make sure the ones I order are that nice burgundy-red, not funky purple.  I borrowed someone else's tie during part of Lumos last year (she was dressing as a Slytherin, so she didn't need it), and it was just the right colour.   However, I don't have any idea where she bought it.  Here's a pic of me wearing the tie:

Any idea where that particular tie might have been purchased?  Or where to go to get the best necktie?  Is that an Alivan's tie?

Thanks!

I suggest www.wizardties.com Their's are lovely and accurate.

I can't tell if it's my computer screen, but they still look kinda purple. Did you order yours from there? But if so, didn't you get a Slytherin tie?

I got my Gryffindor tie at Alivans, and it's a nice burgandy color.

Actually, that looks like a tie from Santa Monica's Whimsic Alley, which has a website. In fact, here's the tie:

Even if the Whimsic Alley site has the right tie, I won't buy a tie from them because the flashing graphics were so obnoxious, it was almost painful. Gave me a headache. Thanks for the suggestion though.

To me, it looks like these ties from Alivans.

you can get that super sweet tie from Alivans. It looks just like my Slytherin one, only obviously the color burgundy and not green.

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus. Thanks!

These are proper burgundy and is the same person I got my Slytherin tie from. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HARRY-POTTER-GRYFFINDOR-FAN-A-SCHOOL-TIE_W0QQitemZ140130468494QQihZ004QQcategoryZ86207QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Also very cheap! If you wanted, I could get it for you and send it over? It's not a problem honestly.
