The only bad thing about using a flatbed scanner for these is that there's not enough space to show the knot-planned ones. So I have to photograph those.
You need a mannequin.

or do some more self-portraits, but those sessions are exhaustive....I take a few dozen shots until I get one I like. shakeshead
Quigley, those ties are amazing, they remind me, and I hope you are not insulted by this, but they remind me of the popular, pop art of early sixties London. Back then though it was all black and white themed, although the geometric shapes are similar, which is why I recall the reminisce.
It would seem though that black and white is a theme that I can't leave alone. A recent photo of my father, taken in 1948, has inspired me to put together, an outfit similar to Dad's. This is the chosen tie, made by Fox & Chave, it's has an art-deco appeal, inspired perhaps, by the Chrysler Building.
Here's a close-up of the detail.
I call these Razzle Dazzle ties referring the camouflage used by ships during WW I...
Interesting. Benny Hill used to wear the same kind of thing in the 1970s as well. The look just reminds me too much of the 70s even though it might have originated 40 years before. :doh:
Annixter and Quigley.... :eusa_clap
