Show us your TIES

That's an awesome bunch, Dostioffsky! All of them great ties I would wear. I'm a bit jealous...
But I specially like the first Kleinhans for the pattern and the Cheney for the extraordinary color combination.
The Sulka and the Charvel & Fils are real beauties as well

What a great pattern! It's a shame about the damages... I don't know, though, if you can say it's badly ironed, ties from these years often have an odd shape similar to this one where they get really wide towards the end. (a shape that I actually really like!)

You're right: I'm pretty shure it is the correct/original shape. But it is "badly ironed" because the edges are as flat as a sheet of paper now...

My recent capture (sorry for the wrinkles):

very shiny chocolate-brown with emerald-green brocade - 1930's/40's German/European - Acetate?/Rayon?

Good looking tie, Matt! Nice colors.

Thanks, Dale.
The colors & mainly the pattern is a bit "German Bold Look": to flashy for the conservatives

These ties would all be from the 1970's & a few from the 1980's. I didn't take any measurements or photo any tags. Since I'm not a collector of ties I'm just wondering if there is anything interesting from a collector standpoint? I have a few ties from the 1930's - 1940's that were my grandfathers put away somewhere. I'm still looking for those.

Jack, I can't comment on collectibility as I'm a novice but i see several I like and would wear, if I still wore ties. I especially like the first two from the left in the first pic and the far right one in the last pic.

Those were always among my favorites as well.

I'm diggin' those two on the far left as well, Jack.

As to collectibility, there is a growing market for those big ol' polyester 70s models.

Now that's a heavy pattern! St Michael tie, roughly 1950s

I'm not the biggest fan of paisleys, but this one is great!

Unfortunately I've been going through a bit of a dry period here, but I recently picked these two up:

First up, a quite skinny 1960's tie, that I at first thought was modern because of the design.
The tie (coin for size reference):

While not vintage, this may be of interest to some. This was my second find, and probably the most prestigious tie label I have come across.

Nice finds MelancholicNostalgic. Congrats on breaking the dry spell. I'm sure all of us here can relate.

MelancholicNostalgic -- I would have bought those two as well! I also found a 3-digit Hermes at a thrift a while back. Mine is 733. I think they date from the 1970s. Probably the only way I would ever buy one ...

Hello all. I've been particularly interested in these solid colored neckties with a small geometric design in the center. They appear sometimes in Mad Men and Call the Midwife and other 50s/60s period pieces.

I've finally found a couple in some charity shops in London.

Gray polyester with blue and red logo with HAA in the shape of a biplane. Filaspun Limited, a UK company that's still in business.

Would love to know the meaning of 'HAA'. Historic Airplane Association naturally presents itself, but I cannot find any matches.

Green rayon with snakeskin-like pattern. White and green geometric pattern. RN19133

Red 'Bur-Mil' (rayon?) fabric. Black and white geometric design; second one appears to be misaligned? Superba label.

Blue Dacron polyester. Green and orange diamonds with plant-like design. RN 19388

With the exception of the red tie, none of the the center designs appear to have been embroidered on separately. They do reappear on the backs and tailed as misaligned and spaced out.

Is there a specific name for this design? I'm a little fatigued at searching "vintage tie".

I get mixed results with 'tie with center graphic' and 'tie with center medallion'.

Nice finds Upgrade!! I don't know if there's a specific name for the style, but they were very prominent late 50s through mid 60s.

Upgrade -- congrats on the finds. I'm a fan of this style as well.

 

[Fastuni]

5 British and 1 Greek (!) vintage 30-50's ties.

 

[dh66]

Nice!!! I'm an especially big fan of the black one with the cream and copper colored designs. And plaid is always a score, of course. Congrats on the finds.

Very nice ties! My favorite one is the green one.
