Today's tie in the field: 52" 3-3/4" London Cravat, w/Hanover Clothing Company tag (maybe early 50's??).

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

Hey! Hey! I was in line first!

Interesting. Sort of like a Bamboo pattern.

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.

I always invent a reason to wear a tie. I even have some that go with Hawaiian shirts.

I was pretty good at that too, before all the spit-up and sticky fingers came into play. So you and Annixter just drive on down.
Nice one Tommy. Very 50s looking.

Here's one that looks like bamboo JP. I used to wear it out for tiki drinks back when the local Chinese restaraunt still served 'em up.

A tiki theme tie! You got me on that one too.

I have just started to collect vintage ties and this is what I have collected so far. Unfortunately most of the tags on these are missing. Lenghwise they all stop anywhere from 2-4 inches above the belt. I am assuming this is due to the height of the waists on the pants of the day.

You ought to be careful, for JP and I live in the same neighborhood and could organize a road trip.

Welcome to the club Roger. It looks like you have the year spectrum there, possibly from the 30s through the 50s--the polka-dot tie looking like a possible 30s piece from its shape and size. I particularly like the green meanie one. The tie lengths were shorter due to the popularity of waistcoats and high-waisted trousers, so I've been told.

Those are some really nice ones Roger. Great start to a collection!
And I'll second Annixter - guys back then wore their pants much higher than these days.

With the price of gas being what it is these days, those would end up being some very expensive ties

Depending on how many Dalis and nudies you have, it could be worth it.:eyebrows:

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

Honorable mention:

Those definitely put modern neckties to shame.

Their is something interesting about that polka dot. Could you take some more detail shots of it?

I like your polka dot tie. Could it be possible for some more detailed shots?

I think the end one on the right is likely 1920's.

Todays tie in the field: 4" wide "B" brand Brocade. any ideas on what B stands for?

the design kind of reminds me of a slice of pie, but not quite...

 

[dh66]

Interesting design. Pretty wild.

DamianM, see if these help. I tried to take some with a real camera but my computer was fighting me and I couldn't upload for some reason.
