Nice Ritter. Interesting find.

The Town craft with the thistle/kelp looking pattern really speaks to me. Congrats on that.

Another nice one! I am going to have to go to places you have been hunting around here. :p

Thanks. These are from the last half-year hunting, and I always get the suspicion that we are hunting the same ground. When I luck out and show up at a thrift store on the day of an accessories delivery with a box of fresh ties still hot on the ground yet I fail to discover a single vintage, I assume the elusive JP has struck gold and left me with the polyesters.:p That just happened last week. I showed up at a Salvation Army to find two large boxes slithering with ties. Out of about 100 ties . . . nothing.

I didn't get over 1,000 ties from not looking. :p

Here's an interesting tie that i picked up on Ebay for 99p. It's got 4 different colours and patterns, (which the photo doesn't show all that well) Never seen a tie like this before.


Looks like a three- or four-side reversible to me. I've seen a two-side reversible where the wide end is double-faced, but I've never seen one with two double-faced wide ends. Seems like you'd have to be spot on tying it so you don't get unsightly edges sticking out.
