the diagonal-striped bow tie looks like it could be Palm Beach fabric ?

Yeah. File>Save for Web and Devices

3.4 Mb per image definitely slows the load time considerably.

I love the Botany Paisley, btw. Glorious tie, from a fantastic maker.

Sure is. Pre-Sanford label, to boot.
I've further downsized the images- showing up better?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

yep, those seem to be working better. Many Thanks.

Today's tie in the field: 3-1/2" Fosette out of Paris. Looks early to mid 50's to me based on design/fabric, but i don't know... first photo is truer to color.

Interesting one. I don't see black that often, unless it's not black.

Dinerman - those are some of the best ties I've seen posted on here for ages.

Annixter here's a couple of black ties I've had since back in college (late 80s). Both are vintage late 50s/early 60s

Back in those days my jacket size was about what my waist size is now and I could rock those skinny ties, as well as skinny lapels and pegged trousers. These days, not so much.

Skinny indeed. Why do you still have them now that you've turned to the wide side? Skinny or not, they take up space for the wide'ns.

I could have given the additional information that I don't see black 30's through early 50's wide ties. It seems that with the bland revolution of skinny, mono ties, the darker colors, black included, became very popular, as your ties pictured above show.

Ha! I got rid of a lot years ago but for some reason have hung onto a handful of the cooler looking ones. I rarely wear the wide ones either but I still keep 'em around.

At least they could see you behind the tie.

You could always give the wide ones to me I you don't want them.

Let's rev this up a bit. Boring is for modern ties.
The tie of the day is:

Honorable mention:

 

[Annixter]

^ Those are reet!

 

[dh66]

Both very nice. Good patriotic color themes.

I didn't say I didn't want them, I said I rarely wear them. I don't wear a tie in my profession, and about the only time I do these days is in church, but since I'm apt as not to have a slobbering baby girl in my lap I tend to forego the irreplaceable old ones. It's a temporary setback, I'm trying to enjoy it while I can.

So are you opposed to a loaning program? Temporarily, of course, until I die?
