Duly noted. I'll try that next time I do laundry. In the meantime, Here's more of granddad's old ties.
Now I am sure your grandfather had good taste. No a bad one in the bunch!

Excellent ties from your grand-dad; Wormser had some great offerings. Here's mine from right now; sort of a later version of the popular Bold Look polka dot necktie. Label indicates that it is made of silk from France:

I have one in blue.
Washing five tomato vine ties in the wash right now. They get dirty ever year out in the weather.

Nice ties lately, both plainer and skinnier ones.
Here's a couple I found that are a step up, I guess, from clip-ons.
This one has a weird built in knot that the short end slips in to. It's fairly short, don't know if its for an older kid, or just meant to be worn with high waisted pants. I'm 6'3" so it's ridiculously short on me, even with really high pants.
This one's a little more "grown up". You can tie it how it suits you, then it has a little clip, like a bowtie with a rental tux, so you can just leave it tied.
Neither one has a label

Great ties, DH. The first one does look like it's for young men.

Agreed. It comes from a time when even children wore ties.
Children wearing ties...Gee, imagine that...

They had/have no choice.
So you were the man I saw running around San Francisco with a bunch of neckties, chasing children, screaming something about "You will wear this!" Market Street bring out the best in people

Scares the Hell out of the Hippies there. The Man chasing them with a symbol of his oppression.

^^Nice. Palm tree ties were certainly popular then.
