16 Ties, Really?

Now, the information says to bring 5 or 6 ties, but Kyler has 16 to take with him. He is very proud of all his ties and every store he would go to he'd head straight for the ties. I know each one will get well used over 2 years. I told him (his sister Kinsey) that his companions will want to borrow all his spiffy ties. Is he prepared or what?
