I am sure there are. They even make "fake silk" that looks like it but isn't. Bonus to that is they cost a lot less! It might be easier to order them online unless you live in a large city!

Thanks... I live in London and haven't really found any apart from Next which I think does polyester ties.
Over the years I have accumulated several ties. After deciding to practice Islam, I decided to not wear any silk ties. I have only one tie that I now wear and it is made from wool. It is in the design of the Scottish tartan for my family name.
There are many ties available that are not made of silk. Just go to large department stores (they usually have a large selection of ties with various prices, materials and patterns) and take a look at the tag. It shouldn't be too hard to find.

The general consensus regarding the wearing of silk is that you can only wear it if it isn't the dominant material.
I love wearing suits and ties.
Most ties are made of 100% silk. Are there any other alternatives to silk ties? There must be some sort of Islamic shop capitalizing on this.
How much makes it dominant? *scratch head*
The hadith says,
AbuUthman an-Nahdi narrated that while we were with Utbah ibn Farqad at Azerbaijan, there came Umar's letter indicating that Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) had forbidden the use of silk except this much; then he pointed with his index and middle fingers. To our knowledge, by that he meant embroidery.
Bukhari
I haven't heard of this dominant thing before *rubeyes*

I guess if it's made of 49% silk and 51% Polyester it's allowed.. The dominant thing I got from Islamonline.net

I have never been able to afford a silk tie in my entire life. I've had at least a thousand ties in my lifetime and not one of them was silk. I did all of my shopping at the el cheapo stores. The reason for the large number of ties is that during my working years I used to wear a new tie every day. they were cheap and disposable so it was a lot cheaper to get a new tie every day than to try to get my wife to wash and iron one. I doubt if I ever paid over 2 dollars for a tie.
I haven't worn a suit and tie in over 15 years and don't plan to ever again.
^^ the Palestinian scarves are good but wouldnt look too professional with a suit. I own one like this....
Sold by Interpal. However, as for silk and non silk ties, I am certain that there isnt a single shop that would sell silk ties only, wherever you walk into will most likely sell a mixture of both so just have a search around Insha'Allah.
