Pinks tend to be slimmer in cut. Tyrwhitts are not. Pink also makes a slim cut line, but I don't think they have a whole lot of patterns for it yet. Pinks are great because they last forever. I've had some for five years.
Do not waste money on Pink ties, however. They are overpriced crap. Tyrwhitt, OTOH, is crazy underpriced in its ties, which are of a far better quality (I think) than Pink. Caveat: I like thicker ties because I'm over 6' (non-internet) and tend to wear my pants a little low, and wear the ties hanging with the tip just over the bottom of the belt. I need a lot of fabric and thick weave to get a respectably sized knot. YMMV... Some folks say Tyrwhitt ties are too bulky.
I never owned an Abboud suit, but Pinks work perfectly with Hickeys, Zegnas and Canalis.
