“One of the companies I first discovered was Fraternal Ties by Bro. John Paul Gomez of Doric Lodge No. 316, way out in the cold wastes of Canada (like 2 hours from us in Buffalo!). I recall finding him on eBay selling an amazing red silk tie. It was designed to have a very 1800s look that had square and compasses hidden in the design. An amazing tie that I could wear everyday, not too over the top that people would look at it and be taken aback by the design. It is a simple and wonderful design that got me hooked to his work. I have bought all but two of the ties he has made since. I can tell you that with each new tie -- well they just get better.”

“We Freemasons put a lot of value on our trust in each other. We pride ourselves in treating others, but more especially our Brothers, "Squarely". Bro. John Gomez, owner/operator of FraternalTies.com is a shining example and personifies this trust. I highly recommend his products and services. In dealing with him, he has always been highly professional, service oriented and trustworthy as you would expect. On top of all that, his creativity and talent shows in the unique quality of his designs and his products. I now own two of his tie sets and am thrilled with both the design and the quality. A top notch business dealing between trusted Brothers. Again, I can't recommend him highly enough. ”

“When I was in Toronto last week, Brother John Paul Gomez made me a gift of one of his beautiful ties from FraternalTies.com (his Canadian Freemason design). These ties are superbly designed and well-crafted, and all of them are unique. I strongly recommend Brother Gomez' work. You can't go wrong making yourself a gift of one, or directing your spouse to his website for that special "What do I buy for a Mason?" event.”

“Having previously been impressed with the ties I had purchased, I recommended Fraternal Ties to my Lodge for the production of a 50 year Anniversary tie. The very basic artwork we provided was turned into a stunning tie. We have since placed an order for our Lodge Ties to be produced as well. I can't thank Fraternal Ties enough. From initial design to production and delivery, every aspect has been outstanding. Thank you”

“Wow, brother great job on those new designs! I showed my wife the Memento Mori 2, and needless to say I had to buy the set. Just incredible. Thanks again for making a AMAZINGLY crafted gift. I can't stress how much I enjoy a crafted masonic item, especially when it's classy and a mans man gift. I hope that makes sense, haha take care , and I cant wait to wear it!”

“Brother John, I love your original Momento Mori tie which was given to me by a great friend & Companion from Utah, Reed Fanning! The quality, weight & design make it a gem in my collection of ties and I wear it to Lodge often. I just saw the Momento Mori 2, which I plan to make my next purchase of many to come. I have suggested the officers of my symbolic Lodge consider an officers tie. Keep up the great work and let us know the next time you remake any of the subtle ties or especially the 47th Problem of Euclid (black or red?)!”

“I had seen an advertisement on Facebook about Fraternal Ties and went browsing. I was impressed with their products being a Fellowcraft and not yet entitled to wear light, I was unsure if I should purchase one. After asking my WM if I could indeed purchase one, I contacted Bro. Gomez via email. He was friendly and prompt and my order for a limited edition Corinthian Tie was placed. I was told it would be a few months until they were ready. I stayed diligent in my work and last night was raised as a Master Mason. I rode home quietly and reflected the evenings events. Excited that I was now a Master, but sad that I had no light to signify my new station in life. When I arrived home and made my way to the doorstep, I noticed a package from Bro. Gomez and Fraternal Ties. My Corinthian tie had arrived the very night I was raised. I wear it proudly to work today and look foreward to doing future business with this wonderful company. They are definately on the level.”

“Illustrious Bro. John, good morning!
I received the ties (works of art) that you produce. Honestly, pretty much. I was very pleased with his attitude. if I could give some advice it would be: a sticker on the back of the tie should be like this: hand made with great art! Congratulations on your beautiful work. I'll show several brothers, including our Grand Master.
Note: The Memeto Mori 2, is a real tribute to Grade 3. Fantastic, you have the same reason the node is impressive. We'll meet at the quarry soon!
A Big Hug Fraternal!”
