It is wool necktie season in the Northern hemisphere, or close enough, and there are half a dozen unlined wool and wool flannel neckties by E&G Cappelli on the ASW store. There's a great new block striped silk as well but I think I will wear the navy gingham first, with my gray flannel suit.
Perhaps the most useful of the wools may be the navy flannel and the nicely mottled solid oxford gray. Pair them with gray or blue jackets, a la Sr. Montezemolo in the photo, but do not limit yourselves to flannel for they are a fine change of pace with worsteds.
Two other checks are sportier and the thought was that they might be worn with tweed as well as woolens. But the sixth may be the most interesting of all. With a mottled brown medallion of some sort (is it a fox's head or not?) on a navy blue ground, it is the kind of tie that you can wear anywhere, with almost anything. But you will need to be fast. There are only a few of each size in each design.

It is still quite hot where I work, but hope springs eternal and I succumbed to the temptation and acquired a couple of wool ties anyway.
