Show us your TIES

Thanks Dan. It scratched a longtime itch.
Here's a question for some of the vintage gurus.....I've seen a lot of vintage Haband ties that were exceptionally sporty looking (and U.S. made judging by the label). Back in the day, were they a catalog company like they are now? They must've had a customer base other than the velour track suit crowd back then. I used to have a nice haband guayabera shirt, and they don't even sell those anymore, a staple of any Florida retiree's wardrobe. Now it's all zipper shirts and Velcro shoes. What kind of stuff did they have back then?

Got this one today. Been looking for a decent palm tree motif for a while.

Sweet one there, Dale! Great colors and print!

Doubles, Triples and Quadruplets from the late 1920s- very early 1930s

That is a nice one! The old Haband was nothing like it is today. They carried a decent amount of cool clothing and obviously cool ties. You could have ordered things from them via a catalog but that is where the similarity ends.

Today, I made a new necktie. This one is made from some fabric I found at a Ben Franklin on Cape Cod.

Nice! You make better ties than 90% of the boring tie manufacturers today. :clap:

That one's pretty cool J.P. but that guy on the bottom does have some scary looking Dracula teeth. lol

Those aren't Dracula teeth! All the rest just fell out.

Posted this one in the 'what are you wearing today?' thread and thought i'd post it here as well:

Well, I've been busy this summer which has taken me away from the beloved Ties thread. I return with an Aloha!

3" wide, feels like rayon, "Hand Painted Hawaii" on lining. If I moved the skirt sideways any more, the moderators might take issue
