Maltese Falcon Tie

[The Wingnut]

He wears a maroon tie when he confronts Wilmer in the hotel lobby.

Aha! I was wondering if the book specified what color the tie was, but I didn't have a copy handy. Bogart's Spade is wearing the patterned tie in the scene with Wilmer in the lobby, so now we've at least got a lock on the correct color.

Indy, I'll hold off making another in maroon (which is just a dark red with a little blue, anyway) unless you give it the green light.

Oh and to make things more interesting, the cover of the box I have shows the tie in green!

Kinda like this?

I found this at my local thrift store the other day after looking at this thread. Rather similar, I thought.

If you can make it in Long [I'm 6'3"] I'll take one in any color.

I would like the movie tie to be blue but I have my doubts.
Navy blue is such a classic ground for that pattern that this is probably an exception.
Maroon... now, there's a thing.

I'm with TankyBell on this one. Maroon is most likely, blue would be swell though. I smell variations coming...

 

[The Wingnut]

Since we've got a poll running, putting up another variation is a bit moot / disruptive. If Indy gives it the go ahead, I've got it primed and waiting. (it's his show, after all, I'm just helping out)

Here is a vintage tie for reference.

Well, if the red wins out, we may go with a little more of a burgundy red. So go ahead and post it and we can compare the two versions.

Kind regards,

[PADDY]

Well...

As Scott and BankyTell suggested, a dark airborne maroon/wine colour would just 'rock' my falcon

 

[BellyTank]

Nice one, PDaddy.
You big Malteser.

...and here we are:

 

[Mike in Seattle]

A maroon of that shade, maybe just a tiny bit darker, more to a burgundy, would be great. Maroon or burgundy is versatile - works equally well with brown tones as blue, gray or black.

I am liking the maroon/wine...with the tan and blue it really widens up what clothes it can go with..

How much will these ties be selling for?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

The tie will most likely be around $40 (shipped). Those of you who not familiar will my tie range, have a look at this section of my on-line catalog: http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=31

[Yeah, I thought the same thing. The only problem with a poll, though, is that everyone votes, few buy. I would request that only those seriously interested in this tie vote.] earlier comment in this thread.

Since there is interest in this tie but there seems to be a problem with folks voting in a poll but not buying, may I make a suggestion? Consider packaging three ties:

that retail for $40.00 each and selling the package at a discounted price for all three. (Perhaps $105.00 + shipping.)
This might be an attractive offer for the holiday season.

Indy, I love your tie selection. How long are the ties, I need a long lenght tie. Thanks,
