1970s Tie - But From the '20s.

[Baron Kurtz]

I suspect Carnaby St. types simply took Liberty designs and made knock-offs.

There is nothing new under the sun. This is ten times more true when it comes to fashion.

i must admit, the box looks like the 70s doing the 20s to me too.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

And i may be in the minority here, but i love the thing.

What is best about it --and can't be conveyed through a computer screen, alas-- is the 'hand' of the satin. Quite literally the softest, glossiest, smoothest, most gossamer fabric I've ever felt on a tie. Only two other sources offer this experience ... pre-1900 silks and the very finest contemporary silks from India: so fine (and expensive) that few of us will ever see them.

I wonder if Liberty had a Carnaby St. address?

Carnaby Street is just around the corner from Liberty.

i love the 20,s but those ties suck. but if you like them ............................ o never mind get your eyes checked

just kiding

This tie would look right with some of those diamond-pattern fabric suits from the 20's.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I reckon it's work quite well with a light coloured tweed suit. The pattern is of course casual, and i think the contrast in texture between the tweed and the satin would work nicely.

I'd wear it. Marc, wanna sell her?

I actually prefer this design to some of the bold 40's crazy zig-zaggy stuff.

 

[Feraud]

Bump for an interesting thread.

Do you still have this tie Marc?

 

[Speedbird]

It must be an English thing...

... because I like it too ..... I'd probably wear it with a nice light blue Oxford and the Magnoli Hunter S. Thompson jacket I am currently lusting after ... and I bet it would look good with the Indy type look too .....

Hmmm .... Wested have the complete outfit on special at the moment.... :eusa_clap
