As per request in the "Baron, show us your ties" thread, here is the first installment of the 3 dozen ties i got from a woman in Crawfordsville, IN ... Here are 5 of the woven/knit/frayed edge ties i got from her. I recently picked up another at Goodwill. Will post in the next installment. Enjoy:
The first is maroon, made by 'Monterey Hand Loomed Mills' of California; 48" long and 4.5" wide:
The next is by the same company and is same size as first:
Both of the ties above have the braided white/red thread stitching down the sides that can be seen on the first.
Next was sold by 'Steck's Clothing and Shoes"; browns of varying shades w/ yellow and green overchecks; 45" long & 3 1/8" wide:
This one (again sold by 'Steck's') is varying shades of brown/maroon, blue, yellow, red, beige; 48" long, 3" wide
Last is my favourite. It's rayon and wool 'Regal Spun Resists Wrinkles'; 47" long, 4" wide:

Great ties! I will have to rob you of the one in the bottom photo.
Let me know if you find any pleated ties, ok?

I really like them all but, the first one... OH MAN! I love that stitching! What a cool tie it is... and oh, if you ever feel like sending it back home to California, one Californian will welcome it very gladly! lol

Oh, Marc, I know they're (pleated) there. I just don't go there often. Might go down again within the month ... she apparently has more ties to show me!

Of course. They're going to the right guy, and Root and I know it. (But the pleated ties are mine! Hahahahahaha!)

Well, here's an interesting one for ya. We saw Root's 2 for 1 tie (the one with the thin end the same width as the thick end so you could swith it around and get double the wear out of the tie). So, here's a four-fer. That's right. fabric saving (apparently war-time) British tie, with four tartans. The ends are the same size. Each side of each end features a different tartan. 4 times the wear!!!!
Some rather more prosaic ones to follow later ... I have them photgraphed (and have had for a month or so). Just need to get them uploaded.

I decided to begin doing this by brands. We'll start with Superba:
First up two from the "Sugar and Spice" line
Next, "Fashion! Superba". One of my favourites of all my ties. Sees a lot of service ...
And now a later one. 100% Dacron!!!!!!!
The next installment will be Wembley.

Nice.
That top, left one is a similar over-stripe to one I posted a while back- remember the one-?

A little similar. Not so much on viewing side by side ...
That one of mine is more maroon than brown.

The ties are coming home! Wemberley wemberley wemberley
Now for the promised Wembleys. Again, all 30s. And all from My Lady of the Trillion Ties:
The green/brown.white stripe and the brown flecked stripe are made of "Priestley's NOR-EAST non-crush" fabric. Nasty rayon stuff. Ties a tiny knot, though ...

Nasty rayon stuff? What??? Vintage rayon is swell! I do have to say, those last two... the colors are super fine! The green and brown stripped one would go well with a nice summer white or ivory summer suit!
