Show us your TIES

[AtomicEraTom]

I have one skinny tie I bought, I don't think it's much more than an inch wide. It looks like it would hardly cover shirt buttons lol

 

[Widebrim]

3"? It should be 4" at least.

Excuse me, the term is "girth-challenged"...

Here are two deadstock 1930s French ties, that FFF posted on the thread having spotted them as part of a batch for sale, which was purchased by HBK, and then these two were sold on to me. I am very happy with them.
The colours on this one are most vivid:

I know a lot of people like patterned ties, but sometimes a plain tie is perfect for an outfit:

That is a nice-looking tie, and I bet the material is as thin as a razor...

:rofl:

And that is quite a tie to conjure up visions of the Emerald Isle.

You are absolutely right. But it's a beauty.

I like the paisley chevrons on this one, although the bottom motif is a bit "busy," I think. What's the composition, rayon, and is it now part of your extensive collection? A Signet tie, eh?

They want too much for it. I am sure it is rayon and Signet is one of my favorite brands from back then.

Busy? That is the part that makes the tie.

Both great, and it's especially fine to find a tie with its price tag and cardboard "wrap" still in place.

I second that. Another example of the feather theme you mentioned before.
The Flame tie is one I have not seen before.
