From today, a nice square-bottomed example from Manhattan Shirt Company, c.mid-'50s; silk.

Nice! I'm hooked on these. I did notice, however, when leafing through a friend's J. Crew catalog, that they are offering square-bottoms of this same width. Yikes! I hate when my style turns trendy.......:rage:

Hahaha! Yeah, for me the whole "Mad Men Style" fad is great (for my work wardrobe). I can sneak vintage in and nobody bats an eye, they assume I'm wearing something uber trendy. My wide 40s ties are another story . . .

That gradated knit square-bottom is AMAZING, by the way!

The green one with the flowers definately packs a lot of pizazz. The red/white/blue one with irregular shapes also has pizazz. The last one is neat too. The one with the red diamonds seems like a 30's tie to me in a way.

That's a nice tie Baron. Very flashy compared to most British ties I've seen from that era. Tootal is my favourite tie brand (they still make some reasonably nice ties these days).
