Tommy! Great batch there, man. The Superba is fantastic!

You've sure aquired some nice ones there Tommy! I really like that Kent with the feathers.

Agreed!

Very good, Tommy!

I bought these later ties, which the seller believes to be made in the 1970s, although I don't normally go for that sort. In particular, I was after the one on the right, because of the red with gold/black stripes. It's just the type of striped tie I wanted to get, eventually, and these are supposed to be in new condition. You have to admit, the one on the left looks more interesting than the average striped ties usually seen today. It's very loud, but it will be fun to wear, once in a while. If the tie to the right is said to be thin, it doesn't look too wide for me.

I'm thinking the 1960s for those. Although many associate skinny ties in the 1960s, there were many wider ties made that were as thick as an early 1950s tie but with with a modern vibe, some of which would not look out-of-place as much as our ties. The suit lapels, however, did not widen until the very end of the decade, and there was indeed a time where the wide tie-skinny lapel look was common, just as it is, unfortunately, today.

Those wider ties were not, however, as ridiculously thick as those stereotypical to the 1970s. Despite this, my favorite era of "boring striped" ties must be the 1970s; though there were many poorly-designed ties in that era, there are also many that have awesome color/stripe combinations, such as a pink, brown, red, and cream "Imported REGALON Fabric by Regal" tie that does not form a ridiculously thick knot, even with a Windsor. There were also many Flat-Ends and Knits that could easily pass as a modern tie today (one guy thought that my "Rooster" tie came from J. Crew). Really, the 1970s produced some nice stuff that many tend to overlook (which is perfectly fine with me).

Very informative post, thanks! They could be 1960s. For the one on the left, it could be a late '60s tie, in terms of styling and width, and the right tie looks more usual for the decade, as though it could have been made at any point in the '60s. There were no labels for me to see, though.

Here is the last tie I've got from ebay, below. I like the silver, blue-grey color. It's also supposed to be new old stock. It's 50% dacron, 50% wool, and 2.25 by 54 inches. This might be my last tie purchase for a long while, as I've got to take a break, at some point.

You can have as much 70s stuff as you like. No competition from me that is for sure.
