Carlisle Blues said:I do not think so; the following would most likely shed some light on this Chaille, François (1994). The Book Of Ties. Paris: Flammarion. (see Gary Cooper p. 119). ISBN 2080135686.
Further it appears that Mr. Jean-Claude Colban of Charvet fashioned the Lounge tie design after Cooper's tie.
......We're picking pepper out of fly poop here of course because the gingham pattern is exactly the same as the SC pattern but "gingham" is a cotton based fabric(see dicdef below) that carries this pattern and clearly Cooper's tie is made of a fine silk twill that's been printed with a shepherds check pattern precisely as described in the tie/shirt guide I quoted above. I have about five ties in exactly this fabric including one that looks just like Coopers in this pic which is why I bought it about 20 years ago
"Gingham is a medium-weight balanced plain-woven fabric made from dyed cotton or cotton-blend yarn."
