My first tie that's 90% wool, 10% hare

Nice. Great colors. Now bring on the cooler weather. Would one normally wear a wool tie in warmer months? I don't really guess it would do much to keep you warm. It is a handsome tie though.

I picture this as a cold weather tie? Maybe wearing with a rougher texture blazer?

I don't know really.

Does anyone know when this was made? 1940's?

^^By the labels and cut, it appears to be 1940s. Yeah, it's more of a cold-weather tie. (Hut was a small manufacturer that turned out some nifty ties; I have one in my collection.)

Although these are currently in the Classified thread (first and last are already on hold), I thought I'd post them for you fellows' perusal:



On the left is a "molecular" patterned-tie, with a light tan background and tan/brown motifs. Inside the front blade is handwritten in light, Kelly green, "Created by 'Emogene' San Francisco All Silk."

Next is a tie which is perfect for someone whose name begins with N (some of the Ns are in a blue circle, some in a very light purple circle). This deadstock necktie still has its "SAKS-FIFTH AVENUE" tag attached to it, as well as a Saks label on back of the rear blade. What is really unique about this tie is its brocade; if you look very carefully at the second photo, you can see in the left corner of the blue field a cane and walking sick, and in the right corner there is top-hatted man dressed in what appears to be Regency-era clothing.

Last is a near-mint Arrow tie, with a vibrant, deep copper background, an emerald green chevron, and burnt orange lozenges; brocade is a kind of "explosion." Feels like rayon/acetate.

The ubiquitous funeral tie. I've got a few. When my dad died I looked in his wardrobe, thinking I would wear his black tie to his funeral. imagine my pleasant surprise to discover it was a black Tootal!

Just posted up some of my vintage huntin' duds in another thread. Thought I'd pitch these in here. Kind of an evolution from the snazzy dog head ones up recently

I think that one must hve been pretty common. I have seen it in multiple background color schemes

A couple of yard sale finds today...50 cents each! Some cleaning needs to be done, though.
