^^They are both quite attractive, Esteban, and the second one is made of Terylene, JamesPowers' favorite fabric...

:rofl:

^^You've got some nice ones there, Hyena Stomp. And welcome to the Fedora Lounge.

^^Beau Brummell did have some winners from time to time...

The funny thing about that is that Beau would have a heart attack with any of those colorful patterns. He was the one responsible for getting rid of the peacock look for men.

^^It is ironic...

Hello guys,

Here are three ties I thought I'd post;

The first one is by Haband, circa the late 1940's - I found an old advertisement featuring this tie somewhere online, I can't remember where, so I thought I'd post it here; the actual tie isn't quite as bright as the ad shows, it's a lot darker. It's one of my favorites.

(The first one in this trio)

Second is from the late 1940's or early 1950's; unfortunately, it's unlabeled. I bought it from the "Bobby from Boston" warehouse some of you guys may know about or have been to. Really nice summery tie; looks swell with baby-blue Hollywood slacks. I used my scanner to acquire these images, so you can't see the whole tie, but the dark blue is the top, the grid w/ shells is the bottom.

And lastly is a hand-painted number by"Andre of California". A big, ol', cuddly looking grizzly bear - very Californian indeed!

Boy you hit it out of the park with all of those---especailly the Haband. Andre was an interesting tie maker out here. He made several of the Bottoms Up ties and such. Lots of Hand Painted subjects too.

Love that Haband! It has given me inspiration to share the Haband I found this weekend while thrift shopping.

Man, all of these beautiful Habands are going to make me misty-eyed...There is a Lounger who, like me, collects Habands, so I hope that he sees these last few ones. (I also wish the current head of Haband, "Duke," would see them, too, and take a lesson from them...)

They aren't going to learn anything.

^^Superba certainly earned its name. And another Haband? Must be a sign...

That is the fun thing with vintage ties. Once in a while you can find a pattern that is done in different colors. Some patterns had five different color iterations. That was great if you had a favorite tie---just get five of the same pattern in different colors and you have your wardrobe covered.

Definitely. You won't find cool patterns like that now. Just a bunch of boring rep patterns.:eusa_doh:

And the tie of the day is:

^^Another Haband?! You're killin' me, fellas...

That one I actually own. Haband gave you a great amount of choices. Even knot planned ties:

Man, that is solid!
