Definitely rayon. I checked it against ties marked with their fabric content (silks and rayon) and it is easy to feel the difference.Baron Kurtz said:Can you describe the fabric? Weave, texture, fabric content?

It's a very smooth weave.
Marc Chevalier said:Feraud is dead right, as usual. These ties --which were made from the late '30s to the late '40s, though some rare examples date back to the late '20s-- were made of rayon 'poplin' sheeting, the same sort of thin rayon that was used for '30s and '40s hawaiian shirts, blouses and dresses.

Does anyone know the reference or have a tie like it?

Considering Baron Kurtz's comment above and looking at the two labels together makes me wonder if the tie without the highlighted V is older or not than period noted by BK.Baron Kurtz said:Note that they've put the V in Javanese in a different colour thread. Just so you know it's not Japanese, of whom the US was becoming wary in the 1930s.

Thanks for the tip. I found one cheap on Ebay.Marc Chevalier said:Polo Ralph Lauren produced zebra stripe ties a few years back. They pop up on eBay from time to time, and tend to fetch high prices.
