My "M" tie

[matei]

Here is a pic of a recently acquired vintage Haband tie, with a big, cursive "M" (for Matei?):

Thanks to Salv for pointing this one out to me when it was on everyone's fave auction site...

As it is a vintage tie, it is quite short. It is in great shape. There were a few wee stains but I managed to get rid of them with a mixture of a Woolite-esqe solution from Marks & Sparks and good ol' London tapwater.

Yep, that link works. Looking good. Nice neat haircut too.

That is a seriously good tie!

Glad you guys like it!

I've got a neat yellow and brown (?) Arrow tie on the way as well. Wild Root spotted it on eBay.

It's short but, that's the way they're to look! Oh, love the 40's initial ties!

You've got your self a score there! Love the colors on it and it suits you rather well!

Cheers,

I kinda like 'em short, now that I'm used to seeing them in context.

It is today's modern, stiff-as-a-board, long ties that look strange now!

Even my wife agrees with me. Her dad was from a generation where they wore "classic" ties with high-waisted trousers.

When she moved to the "opulent West", she found it strange that trousers were worn low and ties were really long.

Just as long as you and Salv aren't wearing yer letter ties together and walking side by side- Salv on the right...

Yep- the tie's too short for wee stains.

I need one of those M ties too.
