Show us your TIES

Where did I (or anyone else here) ever claim to like only stripes and dots or that I think 30's brocades are "loud" and "garrish"? :eusa_doh:

Either you (again) misread or you are being facetious...

Of course the brocades you posted are lovely and the kind of tie I prefer. Right era (pre-Bold Look) and elegant.

They are more similar to their brocade/woven stripe and dot brothers from the era than to the printed "Bold Look" ties with quaint duck hunting scenes or cowboys dancing around.

It's those naive, kitschy motif ties that I dislike - geometrical/abstract "Bold Look" ties can be quite nice with the right outfit.



Bah... double standard. If all stripes & dots are the same, so are all cowboys & animals.

Ok, at least that is fairly consistent excluding the scenes etc. At least you'll admit you like bold ties in both eras just not quaint scenes.

Why the discussion? Just sell the "boring" ties and keep the whimsical stuff. Problem solved. I would say something about conservative or not... But the politics banned rule keeps me from it.

I think we've found the compromise: I have no problem with the bold ties, it's just the ones with pictures on them that I draw the line at. And it's also anything that too obviously shouts 'USA late 40s early 1950s' to the general British public.
Here's me wearing one that I love, and regularly wear with a dark blue suit:

Most of those are splendid.

And this is truly magnificent:

It really is and very apt for tonight!

An explosion like the brown tie is not loud and garish?!

the colours are far too muted for it to be garish.

OK, I've opened up a thread in classifieds to Swap Your Vintage Ties

 

[jamespowers]

:rofl: Ok, whatever you say. lol lol

Garish:

1. crudely or tastelessly colorful, showy, or elaborate, as clothes or decoration.
2. excessively ornate or elaborate, as buildings or writings.
3. dressed in or ornamented with bright colors.
4. excessively bright; glaring.

1) it's not crude or tasteless
2) excessively ornate? possible
3 & 4)it's muted not bright

Make your own mind up folks.

Maybe this will satisfy both camps: conservative on one side and daring on the other!

I was shuffling through the ties at my local thrift and happened to notice this one. A search of peek-a-boo ties suggests this might be Jayne Mansfield??
No maker's label but an RN number search comes back as Carl Neckwear Co. I'm guessing late 50s or early 60s since it's a skinny tie? Two and a half inches wide by 54 inches long. The blue is somewhat iridescent and has tone-on-tone castle towers (with something on the side of them... someone climbing up?), rampant lions, and lions holding flag poles.

Good find there! The front of those ties usually have a portend about what is behind it. It is really funny to have the castle with the guy climbing the wall like the Rupenzel story. lol lol

And the tie of the day is:
