Show us your TIES

I've never worn a bow tie. But I saw this vintage handpainted clip on and loved it too much to pass on it. So it will be my first.

That is a good start!

Found this one at a thrift store this morning. It's got some stains, but it was 99¢.

The label is missing, but it is tissue thin and short and wide, consistent with other 40s/early 50s ties I have. That, and the style of the graphics, would make me suspect it's of that era. Even if it's not, the price was right, and I'll wear it anyway.

That tie is awesome! NICE find. It is likely what you think it is as the subject metter was very popular at the time. I have a print hanging in my house that is similar from the 40s. Panthers, jaguars and leopards were in vogue. Who has not seen the black panther ceramic cats?

Good point.
I knew I could count on you JP!

I see one of those ceramic panthers on a daily basis.

Nothing wrong with clip-ons. Thousands of men wore them. They just didn't want to hassle with tying them. This is a very nice one.

Nice - especially No. 2.
The last one has a Christmas vibe.

I assume these are pre-tied... what kind of hook or clasp do they have on back?

I used a regular pre-tied clip. Just hook and go.

It relieves the stress on the silk from constant rubbing when tied.

Quigley Brown and DamianM, those are all very nice ties! I'm wearing one of my thin ties, today, maroon with geometric patterns.

My favorite bowtie system. Did you get hold of a bunch of vintage clasps or are they still being made?
