Show us your TIES

I like the vintage woven wool ties with unfinished ends.
This one is hand woven by the mountain people of New Mexico.

O.k so I have no experience with ties. I was one of my local thrift stores, and I usually only see what I would guess as ugly 80's ties. Yesterday I came across this one, I don't know what to look for but it seems old. Its in perfect shape, no flaws that I can see anywhere. Measures about 4' long. Could anyone tell me an aprox age? I've taken some pictures so I hope it helps. Thanks in advance.

Judging by the construction, it's British made for the British (or colonial) market. Could be from the 1930s, '40s or '50s: British ties didn't change much over those decades.

P.S.: It's a keeper!

Thanks Marc

I thought for 80 cents I couldn't go too wrong

Very cool!

It reminds me of something from Missoni.

Found this vintage one today at my local thrift store. Should be appropriate to wear in about seven weeks...

These are two great looking ties -

The silk crepe tie at left was made in France. It's handpainted and dates to the early 1950s. The rayon tie at right was made in California of Hawaiian shirt fabric. It's from the early 1940s:

I am in the Love category for these.

Woven wool ties -- folks either love 'em or hate 'em. (Does a picnic tablecloth come to mind?) Most were hand-loomed by Southwestern Native American tribes. These examples are from the 1930s and '40s:

That's all for now. Thanks for looking!

Not excatly the best tie I own nor is it in the best of condition but with some work it will look like it did in its original Hollyvogue glory.

Its actually a wool knit kind of like the Palm Beach tie fabrics. The leather is there more as an accent. It needs a bit of work too. I might just replace it if it can't be reasonably mended.

Can anyone help me date my ties?

Here is a personal favourite; a Beau Brummel All Silk tie with awesome 'art deco' ivy pattern. I guessed it's from the 40's- anyone here know any better?

It is printed on a fabic that has a woven pattern too- many of my other ties are like this.

You won't get any argument here. Looks like a Beau Brummel tie from the 1940s to me.

Very nice. I hope it is salvageable.

Here is one I don't think I've posted before.
The vertical stripes and color combination say summertime to me.

I would say it is my favorite tie but I say that about all of them.

 

[Tomasso]

Very unique.

I have a total of three ties (and 5 shirts), but this has to be the best one i've got.
