Show us your Munrospun, Braespun, Lochmarl etc. Ties!

Nice! Very unusual! It's the sixties label (with that Woolmark that we've discussed before) but of a less common width than most from that era. Looks like camo! Nice find!

Yes I figured sixties Eddie and the I think stylised flowers certainly would fit, it might look OK with a brown suit or maybe even a cream linen/fresco three piece?

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

I'd say so yes! It's quite a fun one

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

I've got a stack I have procured recently. I'll post them as soon as I'm able.

Excellenet, if you've got a new stack of wool ties won't that mean you need to get rid of some rayon ones?

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Hah I'm afraid I love them all equally.

A nice red Munrospun. I've got loads of nice vintage red ties now. I'm thinking of starting up a business - 'The Well-Dressed Soviet'. It might take off. Irony is very popular.


This one with a nice little ram/sheep on it. I've got another with that on too.


Munrospun, Sammy, and Munrospun. I like the first two - nice and vibrant, but unfortunately the right-hand one is dropping to bits.


'Klipper Empire', which falls into the category of 'Perfect Tie' for me, and a 'Baratex', a brand that I haven't heard off, that just needs a little stitching at the blade.



A nice two-tone 'Vigorn' (never heard of it), a Welsh one, with the label in full Welsh:
'Gwlan I Gyd
A
Y Siop Wlan Gymrieg
Bermo' - Hal, perhaps you can translate this?
And a nice mustard-yellow Munrospun - perhaps TT is a fan of this colour?


Thanks for looking!

 

[esteban68]

Good finds Eddie the orangey Munrospun check is very nice indeed!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Thanks I like that one too. Odd colours, but they work together.

"Vigorn" is not a Welsh word; it's Latin for Worcester.
"Gwlan i gyd" = (roughly) wool for all. "A" = and.
"Y Siop Wlan Gymreig, Bermo" - the Welsh wool shop, Barmouth.
"Bermo" is NOT a corruption of the English word Barmouth but an abbreviation of "Abermaw" (the estuary of the Mawddach) - Barmouth is at the mouth of the river Mawddach.
Hope this helps!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Thanks Hal! Sorry, I wrote it rather badly - the Vigorn is the two-tone, and the Welsh one is the middle one. It's nice that it's got that bit of history to it, as well as being written fully in Welsh! I remember going to Barmouth as a kid. Houses and Church mostly made of dark slate if I recall correctly?

That Baratex is wonderful. One of the nicest I've seen posted on here!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Thanks Hopefully I can do a decent job of repairing the hem.

not sure of the date of this one (can't remember where i bought it either)... 'Welch, Margetson & Co Ltd':

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Wow. That tie is amazing. I've never seen one like it! An interesting weave for silk, and the colours are fantastic! A new dream tie!

Is there reinforced stitching around the neck? Either way, it seems pretty old to me.

 

[herringbonekid]

Eddie, no there's no stitching. the dimensions are standard 30s-40s, but the label doesn't give a lot away in terms of dating.
(the label is on the back of the thick rather than thin end).

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Odd label position then really. The weave is similar to this deadstock rayon tie I got from Australia, alongside some other similar ones. I assume it's 1940s going by the length and fairly wide blade.



No labels other than 'All Rayon'.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Not sure on the age of this 'Otterburn' tie. The label would suggest modern, but the construction and size would suggest quite old. The Munrospun is probably 1950s.

 

[esteban68]

Here's my latest find, a 'Grenville' ;

47" long, tip 3 3/4" at it's widest.

 

[tropicalbob]

I love, love, love that black and red tie.
