All Silk and hand painted were probably fairly expensive back then so you could be right.

Ok, here is a comparison as some people think that I will wear ANY tie with bold patterns. This is one I won't touch. It is ugly to me:
However, I would wear this:

Yeah, I think most of us here can. You can buy 50 decent vintage ties for what that monstrosity costs.

What do you think of this one, Gene? It may not be BOLD, but it is rather graphic:

And you put a tie shark on it?! I would be more careful with it.

Ay, I knew that you were going to bring that up...Believe me, it's a gentle tie shark...Cool tie, though, huh?

All sharks bite and they especially like silk. :eeek: It is an interesting phase pattern. Too bad it isn't an inch wider.

But the teeth don't even touch the tie, but bite into the shirt; you know that...I agree that it would also be cool if it were an inch wider.

Those LA ties are their own breed. I admit, I've never heard the term 'tie shark' before, but I like it. That tie, though, has to be worn by some sort of 'shark.'

Some people just use the tie shark to clip both blades together---not to the shirt. That is when the tieshark bites like a geat white. The weight and the movement just kill a tie.:eusa_doh: I don't even want to think what it would do to the shirt. Shirtshark.
I am glad you agree about the width.
Oh and I got my Signet tie today. It is at the dry cleaners. I hope it comes back in one piece.
