winner!

As someone who normally prefers bold look ties I've got to say those are mighty nice. I'd certainly snag them if the price was right.

Boring tie alert!!!!

All of you who don't like 'boring' vintage ties should look away now!

They may not be flashy, but definitely not boring.

These were a very welcome gift from the Herringbone Kid. Cheers.

Nah, all those other boring ties tired me out. I'll find it eventually. I'll finally have some time next week to look.

I was about to call this round a draw, but on reviewing the replays, JP's contribution sucked slightly less than TT's.
Point James Powers.

Back to topic boys... ties!
Tasteful ties without any fiddling cowboys or Kindergarten doodles. :happy:

These two are German rayon ties I found in a box full of used ties.
I will have to shorten the edge of the left one, as it has some damage.
Greenish ties are quite hard to come by... and green-white-red is particularly welcome to me.

that one on the right would go great with a cream linen jacket.

And Fastuni does have that fantastic 1930s German linen suit which (if I remember correctly) has two breast pockets.

 

[Fastuni]

You might be thinking of this one.... it has a single breast pocket.
But it is too short for me...

I will wear it however with my trusty off-white summer sportcoat!

 

[Two Types]

I love those jackets so much. I must have been dreaming when I thought it had two breast pockets. Imagine how lovely that would have been.

JP: prepare to be truly bored

This jacket is a knockout! It would look good with any tie....even without one.

 

[herringbonekid]

TT, is that a Tootal tie made for the U.S. market ?

 

[Dinerman]

It was originally sold in the US by John Franks in Westfield, NJ

 

[Annixter]

I see the Tootal and raise today's SteeleCrest: 4-1/4" wide. The photo doesn't capture the colors that well, for they pop nicely. Great floral brocade too.

 

[dh66]

That's a real beauty Annixter!

Two Types, the Tootal is wide enough and bright enough, that's for sure!
