And the ties of the day are a pair from Land O' Sky again:

This nearly gave me a heart attack: I count seven ties that have been killed for this monstrosity.
why didn't I see those TT? loving the first and last ones....a wash should sort them out....is the first one silk? it seems to have been worn to a chimps tea party!Hello gents,
I'm not great on dating ties and would be interested in your input on dates for these. My guess is 1930s for most of them. It was a batch of five ties that I found on EBay(uk) for less than £1 each. They all need a good clean but at that price, who cares?:

1) I wondered if this one might even be 1920s
46 inches long/3 and a half inches wide
it has sign of having been stitched to strengthen it (in the same way that some 1920s ties had the panel sewn onto the back)
2 & 3 - I know here has been discussion of the resilient construction patent and how the panels join, but these two have a very long seam joining the panels:
(blue is 45 inches & brown is 47)
4 this one is 47 inches long
5 The seam joining the panels on this one is at a very different angle to the two other ties
51 inches long
My word!!
I was the only bidder!
I often use the oriental knot and it has worked well for me in the past. When tying the knot it would come out very loose and bunched at the top, not a result I've gotten before.I usually tie a Windsor with my vintage ties and they come out nice and even. If you tie an overhand knot it can come out crooked looking. What problem are you having?

I'll have to give this a shot, thank you sir!
Not too well with fifties skinny ties though.^^The Windsor is my favorite knot; works well on most widths and lengths.

I really like this one, there is just something about a green tie.And the tie of the day is a J. Galet brand name tie:
