Show us your TIES

[Flat Foot Floey]

I make my own tie rods out of cardboard. Flat blade edges are evil.

The 60s trevia ties are indeed german and many of them can be found for cheap on german fleamarket. Most of them are red like yours but with various pattern. I could offer to buy you some but they wouldn't have the same personal value as the one from your grandfather. Anyway, if you are interested shoot me a pm.

Picked this beauty up from a thrift store I've never visited up until yesterday. Burgundy silk with nice white and blue inlays. It's my first foreign vintage tie. I don't quite know in what decade to place it because it has the exact same cut, build, and stitching as my 1930's Arrow but also strikes me as 1950's in dimensions. It's 51" long and 3-3/8" at the widest. Thoughts?

^^Nice. Post-war.

A Majestic Wrinkleproof...I refer to it as my crossword puzzle tie...

That is a superb lot. You have to learn for sure now.

This is my entire collection of vintage ties from the "Bold Look" era, thus far. It's about a quarter of my overall tie collection but the one era I've decided to concentrate on. I'm selling off all my others on eBay - well over 200 in all, from the 50's, 60's 70's, to present.

 

[Widebrim]

^^You definitely have some good ones there. Where did you find most of them?

You are concentrating on the right era. 70s ties have to go.

I would agree with you on most 70's ties, but I do have a handful of them that I'm very partial to, and will be keeping. They mostly fall into the "so ugly they're cool" category.

:rofl: Herb Tarlek ties. I see.

No, that's just plain ugly. But not all 70's ties are that bad. The tie I'm wearing is my avatar is a actually a 70's tie.

Very nice. I find it amazing that of all the thousands and thousands of 40s-era ones I've seen and come across that yours are still ones I don't recognize. A few in from the right are mid-50s and are very similar, though.

Unfortunately, no label....

Good Lord, Quigly, that one is awful. I would certainly wear it!!

Here are 2 recent charity shop finds. The American one on the left, needing pressed, is by NuWay, on the right is a British tie made by Lawson Hardy's of Leeds.

 

[herringbonekid]

Baron, i thought you'd given up buying the loud American printed ties ???

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes, I had. A few years ago I decided I didn't like them, so sold off my whole collection. I've since decided I actually do like them, and have built the collection up again. And who can turn them down for 50p?

Of course, still never had a double.

i also decided i didn't like them, in about 2006... and i still don't.
