I have a collection of square-enders....

That's a nifty one, color-wise and design. Pink and red go well together with the blue and yellow motif.

^ The paratroopers tie is quite amazing. I wonder if such ties were sold as non-profit ways to support the war/post-war effort or as pieces of memorable pride. Interesting indeed.

There isn't any special label on it. Nothing indicating that it was a war effort or special edition design. Just the standard Arrow label of the time.

Nice lot, jamespowers. If I had to pick out which were the modern ones, I'd say second from left and second from right, and maybe third from right as well. But that's just going by design.

I love the old labels as much as anything, I know Terylene/polyester ain't everyones cup of tea but these do have a quality well made feel to them, you can see the weave and not just printed.I really like the brown wool ? one and no I have no idea why!

I thought the square patterened one was a bit grubby( I did wash them all) but then I noticed the join, there are two slightly differing colours of material!

I know a lot of people don't like those trevira ties. I don't have a problem with them: simply wear them with the right outfit. I have quite a few of them. A late fifties, or 1960s old mans suits, look perfect with ties like that.
