Show us your TIES

^^Don't speak so harshly about yourself. lol I swear, next Queen Mary event, I am going to bring a dozen of the thinnest ties I have and donate them to the vintage gift shop in your name...Either that or some...hippie ties.

Not me. Skinny tie lovers are BLIND. :doh:

The gift shop would use them to hold up their clothing racks.lol lol

Hippie ties!? No such thing. Hippies don't wear ties :rofl:
 
^^Thin ties lovers have seen the light, oh un-illuminated one :whoo:...And if f you remember, HIPPIES originally did sometimes wear ties, unlike most HIPSTERS of today.:hippie:

There is a hippie infesting your post. Hold still. :laser: :hippie: Got him! Ok, now back to the topic.
Thin tie lovers are in the dark like mushrooms. :p You would have to tackle a hippie an hold him down o get a tie around his neck. lol lol
 
^^Thin tie lovers are on the right track; you've derailed...And hippies did at times wear (wide) ties, even with all their anti-establishment posturing:



And here is your next Christmas present:


You call those ties?! They look almost as bad as the hippies they are on. :rofl:
:laser: :hippie: They tried to hide and look normal but I got them anyway.
You know far too much about hippies. Are you sure you weren't one way back then. Long hair and free love, dope smoking etc., etc. :eeek:

Ties seem to come in clusters for me. After months of nothing, suddenly I get 3 ties in 2 days. Here's today's find, a nice knotplanned Hollyvogue.

So last weekend I was at a flea market, came to the last vender, and found two vintage scarves. Whilst conversing, the seller informed me that she had a "big box of vintage ties somewhere in the van." She assured me they were all older than 1970. After some prompting on my part, she located the box and had me lift them out of the van. Sure enough, she had about 50 ties in all--but vintage, I think not. Most were of the 80's/70's persuasion and a couple 60's skinnies with nothing noteworthy aside from ugliness. However, I found two acceptable ones. The first was a custom jobbie made by San Francisco Cravat Shop (or was it shoppe?) of green silk with white leaves. I was tempted, but it was a dog and she wanted too much. At the bottom of the box I found the second and the keeper. French silk. She wanted $10 for it, but I negotiated a deal for the scarves and tie that brought the tie down to $3. It has two labels: the one pictured and another Marshall Fields & Co of Chicago. Purchasing this tie helped, but it took some time to snap out of dreams of finding 50 vintage ties stuffed in a box in a van. "Vintage" sellers--can't trust the one of um.

P.s. the dots are a silver-gray even though the lighting makes them look yellowed.
