Nice one! Knot planned ties look great. They should still make those. The printing and material cutting would cost more though.

That is a great Cohama made right here in California when they knew how to make ties.

No reason why. That's all done by machine anyway. The reason they don't do it is there's no market. People seem to want woven fabrics only, and won't touch printeds. It's a long time indeed since I saw a new made printed tie.

It really is a shame, because all I see are solid and striped ties (solids especially on U.S. politicians). There was a surge of printed ties in the '90s, but since then it was back to dullness...

I see them all the time. But I guess you mean those with more interesting prints, like the ones seen in this thread?

It is done by machine but the layout on the fabric makes it so you can only cut it one way and you get less ties out of the yardage than when you have the same rep pattern all over it. It doesn't really matter which way you cut it then. It is all about gett ing the most out of whatever fabric they use.
I have seen plenty of prints around. They are just ugly. That is why people don't buy them. Just ask Widebrim about a few examples I brought for the tie seminar. lol lol

i think that is probably the case. You can get plenty of prints but they are done in ugly patterns without any imagination. Back in the 40s and 50s these ties were designed by artists and sculptors. Now they are designed by people on drugs.

That one is pretty cool.
It's got a lot of the elements i like, question is what suit or jacket to wear it with?

Let's see, blue, black, gray, light tan (like a palm beach suit), red, gold and a few others I forget just now.
That color is very versatile.

I believe I saw a new one being worn by a black minister, but he had the knot material portion pulled down too far so it didn't look right. The design was too ugly, also. It's rare that I go into men's clothing stores anymore, but when I do I'll go glance over the necktie section and shake my head in wonderment why the designs are so horrible....

Nice European ties. 30s-50s. Difficult to be more precise, as they didn't change much.

The brand of the second tie is Au carnaval de Venise Constantine
Could you tell the date of the ties ?
